19:11 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 doth judge and make war. 19:12 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. 19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 19:14 And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 19:16 And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
This is one of my most favorite Bible passages. The picture so often presented of the Lord Jesus Christ, is the gentle Savior...and so He is for those who receive the salvation He offers..
However, after His triumph, and ascent to Heaven, his disciples did not call Him Jesus...but Lord Jesus. How often it is forgotten that the last picture we have of the Lord Jesus Christ is in Revelation 19. I never forgot...He is my Savior...but to His enemies, His robe is dipped in blood.
He is NOT the coming King...but the King who will come again.
Regards!
