9/14/07 - Life Journal - Glory Revealed

And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called he Word of God.
Revelation 19:11-13

In verses 7-10 we witness the marriage of the Lamb with His bride, the church. Imagine the awe that John felt on this glorious occasion! Prophecy revealed; The Church redeemed for eternity. In the middle of this breathtaking event the doors of Heaven open up and we are introduced to the conquering King of Kings, Jesus the Christ in His full glory. The sacrificial lamb's work is done and it's time to deliver His followers from the evil of this world once and for all!

That is the Jesus we have to look forward to, all our thanks go to the Lamb for our salvation but our hope should be in the warrior King with King of Kings and Lord of Lords tattooed on his thigh, with a sword for a tongue and a rod to rule the nations. We have to inject some of this Jesus into our lives along with the compassionate lamb. There are times for sensitivity and times for some serious butt kickin action and right about now we need more of the latter.

Lord strengthen us, your soldiers. Make us more like your glorified Son of Revelation. We need your wisdom to build our spiritual muscles for this is a spiritual war, not a carnal war.
