He says, “For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea”. The Lord proclaims, “I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.”
This is not the baby Jesus in the manger. This is not the loving Lord giving the beatitudes or the great commission. This is not the kind, compassionate teacher that believers have come to know as their Lord and savior. This side of God is more liken to a roaring lion.
One day, maybe long from now, or maybe on the imminent horizon, the whole world will partake in an event. I think every eye will see it happening in some capacity around the globe. It will affect the physical characteristics of our globe if not already affected by present or coming tribulation.
There will be no conspiracy to hide it, it will be too big. It won’t be a ufo, or an alien from outer space. It won’t be a earth killing meteor that heralds the end of the world. It will be a King on a white horse with a massive army behind him.
This King, soon coming, is Jesus Christ. It’s often been said by preachers and theologians of Jesus Christ, “The first time he came to earth he came as a lamb, the second time he comes to earth he comes as a lion”. This is true but it doesn’t even begin to describe that event. In fact, the word of God is very descriptive about the 2nd Advent and the demeanor of the Lord Jesus Christ at this point. He is a man of war at this point and he is furious.
Exodus 15:3 The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.
