Revelation 19:11

HE'S COMING BACK!

"The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name."  (Exodus 15:3)  "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."  (Revelation 19:11)  It's not over until Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings says it's over  ...   He's Coming Back!

 After this I looked, and there before me was a door

standing open in heaven.  And the voice I had first

heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up

here, and I will show you what must take place after this."

(Revelation 4:1)

The white horse is pawing the ground, ready to ride, "but first," the Rapture of the Church takes place at Revelation 4:1.  The earth groans in anticipation of this event, and Jesus Christ is preparing His steed!  The Church, the bride of Christ, will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, (I Corinthians 15:51-52 and I Thessalonians 4:16-17) and this is our "escape" from the 7 years of judgment coming upon the earth and for those who have rejected the Lord Jesus Christ, either by sin or rebellion, or both.  How do we know we will be spared from the horrors of the 7 years of tribulation?  "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."  (Luke 21:36)  

 "They will sing before the LORD, for he comes,

he comes to judge the earth.  He will judge the

world in righteousness and the peoples in his truth."

(Psalm 96:13)

We say Maranatha, which means "Come Lord," or "the Lord is Coming."  When Jesus Christ rides the white horse, He comes in victory, in proclamation that He is Faithful and True to His Church; He will subdue all of our enemies and fulfill all of His promises to those who were led in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake, the children of the King, the blood-washed, heart-cleansed, faith-talking, God-walking, Holy Ghost speaking, baptized in Jesus' name, saints of the living eternal Almighty God!

We're talking about "Power" here!  Isaiah 11:4 states, "But with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth.  He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked."  He's Coming Back!

Jesus Christ, our Lord, comes to make war!  It is a war to save the righteous and punish the evil.  His wars are Holy; they are borne of the blood He shed for all mankind; He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending; He triumphs over evil with undying love for the creation He molded from the dust of the earth, and He IS the Victor over death, hell and the grave!

We may have different mind images of the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; but the fact remains, He's on His way!  Prepare Ye the way of the Lord!

He's Coming Back!
