An
“angel”
from heaven showed John the apostle many things which will occur in
the tribulation time on the earth, and John wrote about commercial
Babylon's destruction and the people who were affected by it. John
wrote about great worship which occurred in heaven afterward and then
shared,
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat
upon him was
called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make
war. His eyes were
as a flame of fire, and on his head were
many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he
himself. And he was
clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The
Word of God. And the armies which
were
in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen,
white and clean. And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with
it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of
iron: and he treads the wine-press of the fierceness and wrath of
Almighty God”,
and in Revelation chapter nineteen and verse sixteen John saw Jesus
called, “KING
OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS”
where
we read:
And
he has on his
vesture and on his thigh a name written,
KING
OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
The
verse reads, “And
he has on his
vesture and on his thigh a name written,”
John began with the words, “and
he has on his vesture”
which means “and the One on the white horse or Jesus has upon His
garment, cloak, mantle or tunic” “and
on his thigh”
or “upon the One upon the white horse's upper leg “a
name”
which means “nomenclature which is s used for everything which the
name covers, everything the thought or feeling of which is aroused in
the mind by mentioning, hearing and remembering” “written”
which means “delineated upon His upper leg”. John saw both Jesus'
“cloak and upper thigh”
with a
“name written”
upon them.
The
verse continues, “...
KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
John added the words, “KING”
which means “leader of the people, commander and lord of the land”
“OF
KINGS” or
“above all other leaders of the people, commanders and lords of the
land”, “AND
LORD”
which means “he to whom a person or thing belongs, about which he
has power of deciding; master and the title of God the Messiah” “OF
LORDS”
or “above all other ones to whom a person or thing belongs, about
which he has power of deciding and masters”. John saw
how the One upon the
“white horse”
or Jesus wore the title of “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS”
upon His “cloak” and upper leg.
When
we meditate upon John's words in this verse, we see how there is no
authority greater than Jesus Christ. He rules and reigns over all the
other rulers, commanders and leaders of the world, and at this time,
after the tribulation upon the earth, He shall take His rightful
place as “Ruler” over all the world. God Almighty desires for
every person to be in a relationship with Him through this great
“Ruler” Jesus, and by accepting Jesus as a personal “Savior and
Lord” submission to the “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS”
is received willingly rather than being forced to do so.
Next
time
John sees, “an
angel standing in the sun”,
so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
Until
tomorrow…there is more…
