Gen 1:1 In
the beginning God made the heavens and the earth.
This word God was translated
from 'elohiym which means gods (plural). I.e. The Father, the Son
(Jesus) and the Holy Ghost were all part of this creation act. This is
confirmed by Joh 1:10.
Joh 1:1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in
the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were
made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life;
and the life was the light of men.
In God was the light of man - the place where man originated from.
The light that was within God was then breathed into the lifeless
form and the existence of man started on earth.
Rev 12:1 And there
appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and
the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Rev 12:2 And she being
with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Rev 12:3 And there
appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon,
having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Rev 12:4 And his tail
drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the
earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be
delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Rev 12:5 And she brought
forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron:
and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
The woman is Israel out of which Jesus (the Man Child) would be born.
If the woman is Israel, then the 12 stars seems to show towards the 12
tribes of Israel.
Seven heads with Crowns are kingdoms:
- Egypt
- Assyria
- Babylon
- Medes and the Persia
- Greek
- Romans
- 10 Countries of which 3 will become one and dish out the mark of
the beast
Then came Satan who did everything in his power to stop the birth
from taking place.
Rev 12:7 And there
was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon;
and the dragon fought and his angels,
Rev 12:8 And prevailed
not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Rev 12:9 And the great
dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and
his angels were cast out with him.
Rev 12:10 And I heard a
loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength,
and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the
accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our
God day and night.
Rev 12:11 And they
overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their
testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
We overcome Satan by:
- The word of our testimony
- The Blood of the Lamb

Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is
given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name
shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The
everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
I sa 53:5 But
he was wounded for our transgressions, he was
bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was
upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Zec 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O
daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King
cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and
riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Zec 9:10 And I will cut off the
chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle
bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and
his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even
to the ends of the earth.
Mat 2:1 Now when Jesus was
born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold,
there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Mat 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is
born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and
are come to worship him. Mat 2:3 When Herod the king had heard these
things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Through Jesus Christ came:
- Peace
- Forgiveness
- Healing (Mentally, spiritually and physically)
JOH 1:13 Which were born,
not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but
of God.
Jesus was fathered by the Holy Spirit,
completing the curse that was put on Jehoiakim, I.e. that none of his
seed will ever sit on the throne of David again.
JER 36:30 Therefore thus
saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit
upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day
to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
Although He is a descendant of David through
Mary, His Father is God Himself. Before He came to earth, He could not lie
or commit any other sin. It was only during His birth that He obtained
the ability to sin (born in sin).
, and He has
the capability of carrying all the sins and sicknesses we are supposed
to.
Mat 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son
of David, the son of Abraham.
According to Mathew 1:1 He is a descendant
of David and Abraham. This means that He was 100% human, had all the
temptations we have, all the difficulties we have He has seen and He
knows exactly how we feel.
He went through the same things we are going
through. In the garden of Gethsemane, He asked the Father to let the cup
pass Him by. In the desert He started to wonder whether He was actually
the Son of God. The devil did not appear to Him in his real form as some
would believe. That would have been too easy. I can easily withstand
Satan if he stands in front of me. It is when the thought comes: "If you
are the Son of Man", "If the Lord is really your Healer", "If the Lord
is really your supplier" etc., it is then that it becomes difficult.
Jesus was tempted in all ways just like we
are, but the difference is that He never sinned. He was a man, just like
us. He had no special privileges. That is why He could take our place on
the cross.
Visiting Hagar
Gen 16:7 And the angel of the
LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the
fountain in the way to Shur.
Gen 16:8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's
maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I
flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
Gen 16:9 And the angel of the LORD
said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her
hands.
Gen 16:10 And the angel of the LORD
said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall
not be numbered for multitude.
Gen 16:11 And the angel of the LORD
said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son,
and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy
affliction.
How do we know it was Jesus?
- It was not the Father because it was His angel (messenger)
- It was not a normal angel because he said: "I will
multiply thee exceedingly..."
- It could therefore only be Jesus
Jesus blesses her with a promise for a huge family. Why? Not because
Jesus needs her to have a big family, but in those days it was important
to them. He knows what is important to us and does not
mind that we put emphasis on earthly things - as long as they do not
take precedence over Him.
We must therefore not feel that we are wrong in measuring our success
in earthly things (like a family, position etc.). We just have to guard
our hearts that these things do not take the place of God.
Visiting Abraham and Isaac
Gen 22:11 And the angel of the
LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and
he said, Here am I.
Gen 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine
hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I
know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son,
thine only son from me.
How do we know it was Jesus?
- "... seeing that you did not withhold your only son from
Me"
The Father asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, then Jesus explained
that Abraham had passed the test. A couple of thousand years later Jesus
would pay the ultimate sacrifice for us.
Gen 22:15 And the angel of the
LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
Gen 22:16 And said, By myself have I
sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and
hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
Gen 22:17 That in blessing I will
bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars
of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy
seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Gen 22:18 And in thy seed shall all
the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my
voice.
We can expect God to pay us back with earthly things when we obey
Him.
- He gives us an instruction,
- Then He gives us the power of the Holy Spirit so that we
can do the work
- Then He rewards us with things that are important to us!
Who said life is fair? Life is incredibly unfair - in our favour!
Visiting Balaam
Num 22:32 And the angel of the
LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these
three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way
is perverse before me:
Num 22:33 And the ass saw me, and
turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me,
surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
Num 22:34 And Balaam said unto the
angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest
in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will
get me back again.
Num 22:35 And the angel of the LORD
said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall
speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the
princes of Balak.
Do you really think that you can miss God? The Lord told me one day:
"If you think you can miss Me, you better go and look for a greater
God". Balaam (and Jonah) tried to miss God. He does not allow Himself to
be missed.
Relax and enjoy God. He has the ways and the means to get you to go
in the right direction as long as your heart is pure before God.
Visiting Israel
Jdg 2:1 And an angel of the LORD came
up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of
Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I swore unto your
fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
Jdg 2:2 And ye shall make no league
with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars:
but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
Jdg 2:3 Wherefore I also said, I will
not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in
your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
This time Jesus has bad news for Israel: They have not listened to
Him and therefore Israel would always have problems with the people of
the Promised Land. Sometimes we have to carry the consequences of our
decisions, but still then the Lord never leaves or forsakes us.
Visiting Gideon
Jdg 6:11 And there came an
angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that
pertained unto Joash the Abi-ezrite: and his son Gideon threshed
wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
Jdg 6:12 And the angel of the LORD
appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou
mighty man of valor.
Jdg 6:13 And Gideon said unto him, Oh
my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us?
and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying,
Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath
forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
Jdg 6:14 And the LORD looked upon
him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from
the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
Gideon is hiding away but the Lord know what He created when He
planned the existence of Gideon - a mighty man of valour! Jesus also
know what He created when He created you. You are not a riddle to him
(even if you are female!). He is the only man who can claim that
He understands women. He sees in you what He placed in you - and Jesus
don't make no junk!
Visiting Sampson's Parents
Jdg 13:18 And the angel of the
LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is
secret?
Here is not specific evidence like in the previous cases where the
angel makes statements that only God can make, but one thing that is
strange is that the Angel of the Lord says that His Name is secret!
All the other angels had no problems in giving their names, only this
one. Chances are that this was Jesus because I do not think that Jesus
wanted to tell them: "I am Jesus, the Christ, the One that will be born
in a few years time".

ISA 53:1 Who hath
believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root
out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we
shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He
is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted
with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was
despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our
griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our
transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement
of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
- He grew up as a normal child, having no special qualities or
beauty - just like any other boy.
- Look at Him from the outside and you will not know He is
part of the God-head.
- He had no feature that you would desire
- Girls did not stick His poster on their walls
- Men despised Him. When He was raised on the cross, people saw
Him as:
- A looser, losing His life without any purpose
- A man full of sorrows, beaten to an unrecognizable pulp
- A man who knew what it meant to have grief - grief that the
people who He came to serve rejected Him, people who He had
helped design and build turning their backs on Him like a child
turning his back on his father / brother
- Somebody in whose shoes they would not like to follow
- They did not think He was anything special
- BUT
- The wounds that He received was to pay for our
transgressions
- He was bruised to pay for our iniquities (great injustices
and extreme immorality)
- He took everything on Him so that we could have peace
- We are healed by His stripes
The real temple would be the place where the Holy Spirit would live
and move - inside the born-again, Spirit-filled children of the living
God
Jesus would be a priest while sitting on the throne and thereby
ending the separate king / priest dispensation
This would then also bring final peace between the kings and priests,
because they would now be one.
Heb 7:11 If therefore
perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the
people received the law,) what further need was there
that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek, and
not be called after the order of Aaron?
Heb 7:12 For the
priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also
of the law.
Jesus came to break the role of the old testament priesthood. He
changed the Levitical priesthood for the Melchizedek priesthood.
Let us have a look at the Levitical priesthood that God set up and we
will see how this was supposed to work:
Exo 4:14 And the anger of the
LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite
thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he
cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad
in his heart.
Exo 4:15 And thou shalt speak unto
him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and
with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
Exo 4:16 And he shall be thy
spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee
instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.
Look at this: Aaron was not allowed to say anything to Israel out of
his own free will. He needed to hear what Moses said and then repeat
that to the Israelites.
Aaron would be between the people and Moses, and Moses would be
between Aaron and God. It is this same priesthood that church leaders of
today are clinging to claiming that they can intercede for you to God
because you as a lay-man does not have knowledge about the Bible!
Jesus came to overthrow this priesthood and make it null and void. He
came to establish a new covenant based on better promises, replacing the
Aaron priesthood with the Melchizedek priesthood
Who was Melchizedek?
Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek king
of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the
most high God.
Melchizedek was a king and a priest - like God wanted Moses to be.
Aaron was only appointed as a priest after God got angry with Moses for
not trusting in him - see Exo 4:14.
We are now of that order - a king and a priest. You no longer need
somebody to intercede on your behalf because Jesus is already doing
that. What we need are people that walk the road with us and not
somebody to lead us. We are kings and queens, we are lead by the Holy
Spirit and not by somebody trying to play the role of the Holy Ghost.
But this now means that Christians are not only allowed to be in
politics, business and full-time ministry, they are appointed in that
role already when when they became born again.
Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to
kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that
they might have it more abundantly.
The Word of God is trying to communicate that Jesus came to bring us
everything we need to live a healthy and happy life, just like He
intended to do for all the people in the old testament who followed Him,
I.e. Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Solomon and others. While they
followed Him, even their enemies were at peace with them. The new
covenant is even better than the old one.
MAT 16:16 And Simon
Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
He is the one that everybody expected, the One that would set the
whole world free. But once again people misunderstood the purpose of the
whole Bible and the prophesies by thinking this was all about the Jews.
It was not, it was all about Jesus Christ and those who would be washed
clean by the blood of the Lamb, called the sons of God.
The Jews never recognized what was happening. They were looking for
somebody to set them free from the Roman rulers, they thought the
Messiah was coming for them.
Go to top
JOH 1:12 But as many as
received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to
them that believe on his name:
Therefore each one of us can, by accepting
Jesus as our Personal Saviour, immediately become children of God,
knowing above everything else that we will meet with Him in heaven one
day. Even if we sin, He is faithful to forgive our sins and wash us
clean through His blood, just as He paid the price for our prosperity,
peace and everything else to make us 100% whole again.
1JO 5:13 These things have I
written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may
know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of
the Son of God.
It states here that we might KNOW that we
have eternal life. It is not something that we hope for, work for or
deserve. We get it as a gift because of what Jesus did for us. As a
gift, we do not have to pay anything for it - but it does not mean that
it came cheaply. Do yourself a favour and go and see "The
Passion of the Christ"
He was impatient to heal. He never told somebody to come back
the next day because the pastors, teachers etc. would be cross if He
healed on a Sabbath - He healed them immediately. Many of these people
have been sick for a long while, some even from birth. Still He did not
wait another second but healed them straight away. There is no truth in
the rumour that Jesus will delay the healing to teach you something. The
only reason we are having to wait, is because of our unbelief.
Mar 3:5 And when he had
looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the
hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine
hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored
whole as the other
That is why we are perishing: A lack of knowledge and a lack of
faith.
He was impatient with religious leaders
He could not stand people using His Father's name to make money for
themselves or misusing the facilities for their own selfish purposes. He
could not stand their attitude towards His flock, lording it over them
and preventing them from getting to know the real truth.
Mat 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil,
speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh
Impatient with unimportant arguments and pride
When the Pharisees started to compare Jesus with John to see who
baptized the most people, He just left Judea and went to another
district. It is so easy for us to start comparing our success in the
ministry to others. Guess what? The moment you do that, you are alone in
that ministry - Jesus will not support you.
JOH 4:1 When
therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made
and baptized more disciples than John,
2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
We were a part of the body of Christ where the church grew to the
extent that everybody talked about it with great respect. But the
leaders grew proud, comparing "their" ministry to the others in the
area, scattering the sheep. Even when God warned them, they thought to
themselves that God would speak to them and their leadership team - who
were these mere church attendees to give such warnings?
The church still exists today, but it no longer has the prominence
and respect it once had.
He had compassion with people
When people did not have enough to eat, He did not send them back
home on an empty stomach, but took what He could find and simply
multiplied it. The people would have made it if they had to walk back
and get food, but that was not how Jesus operated.
He did not know the words "just enough"
When He multiplied the food, there were baskets full left. He did not
just make enough for that meal. It was not because He did not know how
much the people would eat, it was just because He likes to give.
He does not want to give us "just enough", but enough to be able to
share with others as well, I.e. the fatherless, widows etc. He does not
want us to have so little money that we steal from artists by stealing
their music. He wants to bless us enough so that we can go out and
purchase it, thereby supplying them with the means to bless others.
Nobody could kill Him
JOH 10:18 No man
taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it
down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I
received of my Father.
Jesus received the command from the Father: "Lay down your life so
that you may pay for the sins of the people. Then take it up again and
take up Your place next to Me".
MAT 4:3 And when
the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God,
command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by
bread
alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Note that He never said: "The prophet Isaiah said" or "the prophet
Ezekiel said" - He just said that the prophet said. You do not need to
quote verse and Scripture, as long as you can interpret God's feeling
for man in a situation.
Lev 8:6 And Moses brought
Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
Before the priests could start their work, Moses had to cleanse them
by washing them with water. In the same way Jesus had to be washed in
order to be cleansed for His duty as our High Priest.
Remember, it was only after being born on earth that Jesus took on
the infirmities of man. Jesus could never lie or sin, but now He was
able to. Therefore He had to go through the same washing process as the
priests before Him.
Mat 3:13 Then cometh Jesus
from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
Mat 3:14 But John forbade him,
saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
Mat 3:15 And Jesus answering said
unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill
all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
Now Jesus was ready according to the rules of the old testament.
Mat 12:39 But he
answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation
seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but
the sign of the prophet Jonah:
Mat 12:40 For as Jonah
was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the
Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Jesus was crucified on Wednesday and rose again on Saturday evening.
This fulfilled what Jesus said that He would be in the grave for three
days and three nights.
14 Nisan = Passover
15 Nisan = Feast of the Unleavened bread and no work is allowed
regardless of what day this falls on.
Some people believe that Jesus died on the Friday (hence calling it
Good Friday) because it was the day before the Sabbath, but this was a
special Sabbath - the Feast of the Unleavened Bred and not the normal
Sabbath day.
Time table:
10 - 13 Nisan The sheep was checked by the priests to see if they
were worthy of being sacrificed
14 Nisan = Jesus died and had to be buried before sunset
(Wednesday) - Passover
15 Nisan = Jesus is in the grave for day 1 and night 2 (Thursday)
- Feast of Unleavened Bread, also a Sabbath
16 Nisan = Jesus is in the grave for day 2 and night 3 (Friday)
17 Nisan = Jesus is in the grave for day 3 and rose at sunset
(Saturday - Sabbath)
18 Nisan = first day of the week and Jesus is risen
C.6 Five-Fold Ministry Gift
Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles;
and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and
teachers;
Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the
saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body
of Christ:
We can see more about this in the
Five-Fold Ministry
C.7 The Prayer of Jesus Christ
Joh 17:20 Neither
pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me
through their word;
Joh 17:21 That they all
may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that
they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou
hast sent me.
Joh 17:22 And the glory
which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even
as we are one:
Joh 17:23 I in them, and
thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world
may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast
loved me.
The prayer of Jesus Christ can be summarized as follows:
- Jesus prayed for us as well
- That we be one with Them as They are in One Another
- We received the glory Jesus received when He came to earth
- That we become perfect as They are perfect
- That the world know that the Father sent the Son, that the
Father loves us and that the Father loved Jesus
1Jo 2:1 My little
children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any
man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the
righteous:
Satan cannot accuse us with the Father because Jesus is our Advocate.
He will also be our Advocate when we appear before the judgement seat of
Christ. Yes, our Judge is also our Advocate - what chance is there that
you will be found guilty?
Rev 5:1 And I saw in the right
hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the
backside, sealed with seven seals.
Rev 5:2 And I saw a strong angel
proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and
to loose the seals thereof?
Rev 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in
earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither
to look thereon.
By opening this book, the last of the happenings occur before Jesus
comes again. Each of these seals open another major event before the end
finally comes.
Rev 5:5 And one of the elders
saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the
Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the
seven seals thereof.
Jesus is called the Lamb, He is also called the Lion of Judah. Here
He is in all His splendour, organizing the last major events on earth as
we know it.
And then, His final glorious battle:
Rev 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.
Rev 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.
Rev 19:13 And he was
clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The
Word of God.
Rev 19:14 And the armies
which were in heaven followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Rev 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.
Rev 19:16 And he hath on
his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS,
AND LORD OF LORDS.
Rev 19:17 And I saw an
angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to
all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather
yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Rev 19:18 That ye may eat
the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of
mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them,
and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both
small and great.
Rev 19:19 And I saw the
beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered
together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against
his army.
Rev 19:20 And the beast
was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles
before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark
of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were
cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 19:21 And the remnant
were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which
sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled
with their flesh.
Now Jesus is no longer the Lamb that was slain - He is the War Lord.
If Jesus said that if you saw Him, you also saw the Father - that
they were the same, He meant that They have the same characters. Just
like He did not judge everybody, so the Father does not want to judge
us. They want to bless us.
