Jesus the Warrior King: Victory at His Second Coming

Why does Jesus ride the white horse of victory before he even goes to battle? Because his garment is blood stained. He has already fought the battle. He has already won the victory. What all this is is formality. This is playing it all out. He's already done that. Why did he do that? He did that when he rode a different animal. If we go back to the the gospels, Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey, on the colt of a donkey. [00:57:18] (29 seconds)  #VictoryAlreadyWon

There's a real place called hell, and it is a place of eternal punishment. There is no annihilation. We don't come to the end and just cease to be. You don't get to live your life and say, well, I'll just do the best I can. And at the end, if I made a mistake, oh, well, I just die, and it's over. It's not over. Your soul lives forever in one or two places. Your soul lives in the presence of God or in a place of punishment. [01:05:23] (39 seconds)  #HellIsReal

Jesus came, rode a donkey into Jerusalem, endured all the agony of the cross to pay the price for our sin. He shed his blood, and he fought the battle that had to be fought for us to win spiritual victory. He rose from the dead and said, I'm greater than hell and the grave. And one day, I'll come back, and I'll prove it to everyone. But to those who believe in me, they already know who I am. They follow me. They live for me, and they will be in my army.

So this robe that he wears is to identify It is something to say this identifies something about who Jesus is, and it is dipped in blood. Here's what that means. That the warrior has come. He has fought the battle, and he has waited through the battlefield. And along the way, the blood that is in that battlefield has stained the hem of his garment. He has walked through it and shed all the blood. But because he is coming and because he is walking, he is victorious. [00:50:43] (32 seconds)  #BloodstainedRobe

There are people that think, well, we've been talking about this for years. We've been saying this is gonna happen, and and it hasn't happened, and it's probably just preacher talk, and it's all that kind of stuff. And we shoot all kinds of holes into it because we think Jesus is weak. Peter knew that. Here's what Peter says. Second Peter chapter three. The Lord is not slow to fill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient towards you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

So when we come to Jesus being true, I want us to think about him as the false, and Jesus is the true. And when we compare these two, at times they look right alike, but there's something vastly different because the first horseman is here to deceive. And the second horseman or the second guy who shows up, the second coming of Jesus is about claiming what is rightfully his, and they are starkly different.

We had in chapter six the beginning of four horsemen that showed up, and the first horseman came on a white horse. He he came with a crown. He came on a white horse, and he came with a bow, and he came conquering and to conquer. And in many ways, he was presenting himself like Jesus, except he wasn't Jesus. He was the antichrist. He was the deceiver. He was the one who was supposed to make us think like that, but that wasn't him. [00:47:04] (28 seconds)  #FalseMessiahWarning

Meekness is power under control. Weakness is not the power. You don't have the authority or the power, or you don't have the character to use the power. You're cowardly. You're afraid. You're you're not able to do it. Too many times, we've looked at Jesus as weak, but he is never weak. He is always meek. Who he is is exactly who we see here. Just the first time he came, he came to die for the sins of the world. [00:58:37] (33 seconds)  #MeekNotWeak
