I think this songs about someone living in the end times, specifically in the time of the Antichrist's reign (the "man that stands before [him]). The Bible explains how he will deceive the world with brilliant talk of peace & security by "replacing" how the world currently does things. The "sword and armored suit" represents the Word of God and faith in God which protects this person from the man who reeks of Hell. "Tuck coat tails and runs" means God defeats this evil.
