Revelation 19:11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
Faithful and true, the Word of God, and King of kings and Lord of lords, all describe Jesus Christ at His return to earth. Heaven opens and Christ is seen bringing armies of heaven. The battle that is about to take place will cast judgment on nations, (all of those who rejected God). They will experience the fury of the wrath of God. We know and experience God’s grace, mercy, and love. It is hard for us to understand the fury of His wrath. We can read stories of some of His judgments on nations and individuals but nothing like this has happened before. Wars, famine, disease, earthquakes, hail stones, fire, drought, etc….. all lead up to the fury of God’s wrath but are in no way to be considered other than judgments on man and nations with witnesses present and proclaiming salvation through Jesus Christ. Now these witnesses are gone. All that remains are those who reject and deny and blaspheme God. They did not repent and will now see His fury. All the times they have rejected Christ will flash before their eyes and in a moment they will realize He is Lord of lords and King of kings. They have all said in their heart that they will not acknowledge Him or bow to Him and will suffer eternity in hell because of this. In the end they will kneel and bow before Him. The sad thing is that all of these people have intentionally chosen to reject Him. They have chosen confusion, unrest, fear, hate, and war in hopes it will satisfy their soul some way. They have rejected peace, love, grace, mercy, joy, happiness, and rest in Jesus Christ in exchange for what the world has to offer. They chose to believe a lie and will suffer eternity for the choice they have made in this life, this side of eternity. There is still time to repent and come to Jesus Christ. There is still time to repent and be forgiven. There is still time today. Do not wait until it is too late.
