JESUS WILL RETURN

Revelation 19:11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice, He judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on Him that no one knows but He Himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood and His name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following Him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Coming out of His mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”15 Psalm 2:9 He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16On His robe and on His thigh He has this name written:
king of kings and Lord of lords.

The Lord Jesus Christ comes out of Heaven as the leader of an army that goes to fight the nations of the world at the battle of Armageddon. He rides on a horse to indicate that He comes to fight a war. He is clothed with a vesture dipped in blood to indicate that He has finished one battle already. It was the battle at the cross where He fought for us, rebellious sinners, but elect of God, and our blood has stained His vesture. And when He comes again He shall bring all the souls of all the saints with Him, as we have read in 1 Thessalonians 3:13 and 4:14, and God will raise up the bodies of all those who have died, “some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt

Father, we have been sinning for over two thousand years, and some may feel we have gotten away with our iniquity; but the Word tells us Jesus will return and we must be ready when our name is called.  So Lord, prepare us for Your return, open our hearts and minds and fill us with the Holy Spirit so we will have the same love for You and Your Word as Jesus.  Father, when You raise the bodies of all those who have died, please receive our loved one's souls to everlasting life.  Lord, help us overcome the trials of our faith so we may be given the right to rule with You on Your throne.  Father, give us Your strength and courage, to stand on Your Word without wavering; so we can be faithful because faithfulness will end in victory, in Jesus name Amen
