Out Of His Mouth Goes A Sharp Sword

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. -Revelation 19:11-16, NKJV

In this chapter of Revelation, we see one of many pictures of the second coming of Jesus Christ that are given to us in the Scriptures. The coming of the Lord will mean a bloody end for the leaders and armies of the world, shown here near the end of chapter 19 as they reach the end of the great final world war in the Valley of Megiddo. This passage gives us a picture of Jesus that we do not usually think of when we think of the humble, forgiving Messiah from Nazareth. Here we see Jesus coming to destroy those who have rejected the one, true Holy God, those that are annihilating each other and destroying the earth (Rev 11:18). Notice that Jesus’ eyes are “like a flame of fire” and His “robe is dipped in blood” and His name is “The Word of God”. “He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God” and “Out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations.” This passage marks the end of human history as we know it. And, operating in the way that justice systems and police departments of this world are supposed to operate, Jesus is the protection and might for those attempting to live in peace with God, but He is the judgment, prosecution and sentencing agent for the violent and disobedient toward God, that are literally fighting Jesus, killing each other and ruining the earth. Shockingly, this, the Bible tells us, is the future of the world that we live in now. Jesus' second coming will usher in God’s perfect Kingdom.

Most of us wonder where the world is heading. Some imagine that mankind will work out all of its’ problems and evils itself. But in reality it only keeps getting worse, not better like The Beatles said. As opposed to The Beatles, the Bible tells us exactly what’s going to happen. And it’s becoming so obvious these days, that many people are finding the truth through this amazing aspect of the Bible. The bad news is that this world is heading toward a devastating, final world war. Ultimately the armies of the world turn from fighting each other to war against God Himself, the rightful, true and just King of kings and Lord of lords. This world system of war and destruction will one day be destroyed by the Faithful and True Judge, Jesus, who destroys it with only a word from His mouth. God has graciously given the world thousands of years to repent and turn to Him in truth and in spirit, but time is running out. The good news is that the Lord will establish a new world right here on earth that is based on His truth, justice and goodness. And He’s made a way for anybody to be a part of it that wants to be a part of it.

What kingdom are you trusting in today? This world system of materialism, self satisfaction and destruction, or God’s coming Kingdom of truth, righteousness, abundance and peace available for all? In another of the apostle John’s books he wrote,

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him (1 John 2:15).”

What world has captured your heart today? This crazy, violent world of lust, greed and selfish ambition, or Jesus’ coming Kingdom? Through faith in Christ, your sin can be forgiven and you can enter His Kingdom today by the Holy Spirit coming to dwell in you. Are you aware of His presence?

Where the King is, there is the Kingdom.

He’s coming soon to right the injustices of this evil world system that has spread like a cancer over the whole earth. But you can enter God’s Kingdom today by calling on the true King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus Christ. Make Him the King of your life today and do not waste any more of your life chasing after the things of this world.

I think so too, Lance. So many prophetic signs from the Bible coming together at once throughout the world. Jesus said, "No one knows the day or hour". Paul added, "But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief (1 Thess 5:4)." Come quickly, Lord!

Wow Brian, well said. It is difficult to imagine this side of Jesus, especially these days with all the false light - "god is love" messages which are spreading like wild fire. Unfortunately, it has seeped into the church and Christians are being deceived. The last days are upon us as we see the day of apostacy happening before our very eyes. I pray many will read this and be challenged to return to the true Light - Jesus - who is Love, Holy and Just. Blessings to you - may God keep us on the straight and narrow as we study his word!

Hi, Teresa. Many blessings to you and your family! Hope the new venture is going well. Thanks for your feedback, it is always much appreciated. With all of the violence and slavery going on in the world, it's hard to imagine someone that wouldn't want justice to come down hard on those that hate what's right. God is right and perfect in all His ways!

God is the way the truth and the light. If only we could stop take a minute from our busy schedule to ask God for guidance and am I on the right path to truth light and this will develops wisdom. God please show me the way for I am but a lost sheep that so desperately don't want to be come wayward in this corrupt world. Give me the wisdom to understand what I should be doing and please wash these worldly desires from me.
Be Still and Know
Jud
