“From His mouth goes forth a sharp sword with which He can smite (afflict, strike) the nations; and He will shepherd and control them with a staff (scepter, rod) of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath and indignation of God the All-Ruler (the Almighty, the Omnipotent) and on His garment (robe) and on His thigh He has a name (title) inscribed, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” Revelation 19:15-16 ->me: These 2 verses from the passage here in Revelation depicting our Savior on His white horse coming with His angel armies is so awesome. Rather than try to take this apart piece by piece I will just tell you what I take away. The Word of Jesus (God) has the power to smack down nations of people and He has absolute authority…He cannot be resisted. In the previous verses it talks about His angel armies behind Him but they have no weapons because their leader alone is the one that conquers. When Jesus returns it will be clear Who He is and the Sovereignty that comes with. Today my prayer of humility and strength continues. This visual makes it very easy to come before my King in meekness and weakness knowing He comes in all power to wage war on those who resist Him. This life on earth is a place to grow strong in perseverance and character as we await my risen King. The knowledge and understanding won’t come without experience and practice standing up to the evil desires and distractions of this world. In this job, God has given me a great training ground but I must not let the evil one use it for his own purposes to sidetrack my life.
