Today's Article: #50 The Coming of Christ

By Dr. Stephen Phinney   

 

"And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, 'KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.' Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in midheaven, 'Come, assemble for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free men and slaves, and small and great.' And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army" (Rev 19:11-19).  

 

Now is the moment for which many of us have been waiting - the final blow to the trinity of the evil one: the Beast; False Prophet; and Satan, himself. Can you imagine this moment? Jesus (our Husband) mounted on a white horse, with eyes as flames of fire, His head decorated with many diadems (jewel-filled crown), and a Name written on Him that only He Himself understands. He is wearing a robe dipped in blood (His own), and who follows Him? An army from Heaven, also dressed in white (symbolizing the purity of the Groom, Himself). When Jesus speaks, it is likened to a sword (Word of God) coming out of His mouth. Note that the striking down of these nations and the triune of Satan will be done by spoken words from His mouth. As He approaches the enemies of God, they begin to see something written on His thigh - King of kings, and Lord of lords.

 

An angel calls out with a loud voice saying to all the starving birds, "Come, assemble for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free men and slaves, and small and great." Christ is about to feed His creation. Now with the birds ready and waiting for fallen flesh, the armies assemble.

 

One might think these warriors of the king of Babylon would get a clear picture that they are about to have their rumps kicked. But NO, their depraved minds engage in a battle they...
