CONCLUSION
God has been patient as the Gentile nations ruled the world for over 2,500 years. However, at God`s appointed time He sent out the four great angelic beings, symbolized as horses for herding the nations and chariots for judgment.
Then at the appointed time we read of the King of Kings, the Lord Jesus Christ coming forth from heaven in power and great glory with His angelic army. They are all symbolically represented as `riding white horses.`
White – purity, glory.
Horses – power.
`Then 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. ….King of Kings and Lord of Lords. ` (Rev. 19: 11, 12 & 16)
`And the armies in heaven clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.` (Rev. 19: 14)
The Lord Himself tells us who this army is.
When the Son of Man comes in His glory, & all the HOLY ANGELS with Him...` (Matt. 25: 31)
`the Son of Man .....comes in His own glory, & in His Father`s glory & in the glory of the Holy ANGELS.` (Luke 9: 26)
`when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with HIS MIGHTY ANGELS.` (2 Thess. 1: 7)
Thus, throughout God`s word He has given us the details of how He is bringing the nations to His Son`s feet for judgment. Even the picture of the Lord coming in power and great glory with His angelic army is shown as riding horses. It gives us the sense of power and fast movement, the Lord coming forth to bring judgment upon the rebellious nations.
Let our confidence be in God, that He is well able to complete that which He has said. Let us rejoice that the `Chariots of God` are bringing about His righteous judgments.
