The Deliverer
The Lord Jesus Christ, Israel`s deliverer, is now seen coming from heaven in power and great glory. He comes in full array of His majesty and authority. We are given a wonderful description of Him revealing His Holy character and great authority over all principalities and powers in the unseen and upon earth.
`Then I saw heaven opened, & 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.
He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.
He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called the Word of God.`
(Rev. 19: 11 – 13)
White horse – `white,` is from Gk. word `leukos,` meaning light, glory.
`horse,` is a symbol for power and strength. (Ps. 147: 10)
Faithful and True – Faithful is the first description of our Lord. (Rev. 1: 5)
True, truthful. He is to be trusted.
In Righteousness He judges and makes war – justice in character and action. (Rev. 15: 3 & 4)
His eyes like a flame – penetrating vision, seeing people`s motives. (Rev. 2: 23)
His head with many crowns – great authority and rulership in many realms. (Eph. 1: 20 & 21)
His name, the Word of God – the expression of God made manifest. (John 1: 1 & 14)
`Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword,
that with it He should strike the nations.
And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.
He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: King of kings and Lord of lords.
(Rev. 19: 15 & 16)
A sharp sword – the word of God in judgment. (Heb. 4: 12 & 13)
Rod of iron – immediate consequences for actions. (Ps. 2: 9 Zech. 14: 17 & 18)
Winepress of wrath of God – the valley of decision, the valley of Jehoshaphat. (Joel 3: 12 – 14)
Robe – symbol of authority. (Ex. 28: 4)
Name, King of kings & Lord of lords – the ultimate in power and authority over every rule in every dominion. (Eph. 1: 20 & 21)
