What CHILD+ is THIS ? ~ # 8 Advent Meditation 2021 ~ SWORD OF LIGHT ! ~ Revelation 12:5

 Revelation 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars ...

 

What CHILD+ is This ?

2021 ADVENT MEDITATION #8

 

Revelation 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. 

~

What kind of a sword  will it be that comes flying out of His+ Mouth ? A sword of earthly materials ? One made of unbreakable iron, like HIS+ unbendable ROD ?

The BIRTH-RIGHT of HIS+ INCARNATION ....

Revelation 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.


+  +  +

This Royal ROD, this scepter, is used in Psalm 23 ... 
 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for THOU+ art with me; THY+ rod and THY+ staff they comfort me... 

... and in Isaiah 11:4.  
But with righteousness shall HE+ judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and HE+ shall smite the earth: with the rod of His+ mouth, and with the breath of His+ lips shall HE+ slay the wicked.

+ + +

This Special SCEPTER like the world has NEVER SEEN BEFORE ~ His+ Royal Rod ~  is  unyielding.  

It is the birth-right
of HIS+ INCARNATION: 

JESUS, LORD at Thy+ Birth. 

His+ Royal Rod will come against all those who are UNYIELDING towards the LORDSHIP+ of the HOLY ONE+ of Israel. 

+  +  +

     Harken, , does not MY+ Word say, "... and with the froward, I+ will show Myself+ froward ? "   Does not My+ Word say, "... if ye walk contrary to ME+, then I+ will walk contrary unto you ? "

BEHOLD, I+ AM The LORD;  I+ change not. 
Turn ye, turn ye, ....  
O, why will ye die ... ? 

BEHOLD,  I+,
I have the keys of Hell and death!

+ + + 

The Rod of Iron in the Hand of The RISEN CHRIST will sift all nations. It will sift all religious organizations. It will sift each person carrying the name of CHRIST in his mouth. 

This Royal Rod will sift each nation by the TRUTH+ : What have you done to MY People, the ancient race who has brought forth The MESSIAH+ ? 

What have you done to MY People, MY+ little ones who have believed on ME+ and followed ME+ according to My+ Ways ? 

I granted you authority for a short time over MY+ People. How have you used that authority, O Egypt? O Sidonia ? O Tyre ? O current "city of baal" sitting on the Potomac? 

IT WILL BE REQUIRED OF YOU. 

+  +  +

This Royal Rod will also sift every religious organization. 

What have YOU done to MY+ People, the ancient race whom I+ called forth to bring forth The MESSIAH ? 

What have you done to MY+ People, MY+ little ones who have believed on ME+ and followed ME+ according to MY+ Ways ?  

I+ placed you in authority over them to feed their souls and guide them away from the satan, to protect their lives. Have you done this ? 

IT WILL BE REQUIRED OF YOU.  

+  +  +

O, WHOLE House of Israel, you call me "LORD, LORD" ... yet you do not do the things I+ say.  Is it merely the structure that I+ will be judging ?  Or will individuals be weighed in the balances, also ? 

What has each one of YOU who carry My+ Name, done with ME+, the promised CHRIST, The LIGHT+ of the World ? 

You have MY+ Word; did you give it freely to the world? 

You have MY+ Love; did you share it freely with the world? 

Alas... you have MY+ wrath... 
if you gave yourself more 
than you gave to ME+, in obedience.

+  +  + 

O Long-Suffering LORD Who+ became INCARNATE that we might become Holy, help me to turn my life around to the Living Light+, emptying myself to be filled with THEE+.  

I yield myself to THEE+, O HOLY ONE+, Who+ came once in humility but Who+ is returning in unquestionable KINGSHIP+ to this earth, to find a people prepared for THEE+. 

O, how I want to be among that number! 

This I pray, O LORD, in Thy+ Name and for Thy+ Sake. Amen

The ROD of IRON...

ADVENT MEDITATIONS for 2014

Revelation 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. ...

+  +  +

Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a BRANCH+ shall grow out of his roots: 

And the SPIRIT of the LORD shall rest upon Him+, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the  LORD

And shall make Him+ of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and HE+ shall not judge after the sight of His+ eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of His+ ears:

But with righteousness shall HE+ judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and HE+ shall smite the earth: with the rod of His+ Mouth, and with the breath of His+ lips shall HE+ slay the wicked.

+  +  +

A Rod of Iron ?  An unbreakable Sceptre is the picture.   All nations will stand in fear of this Unbendable Rodand the ONE+ wielding it. 

The demons ruling Herod knew this; Herod could sense their agitating out-rage. 

“Kill that Babe!  Kill that Babe!”  they cried, whipping up Herod to order the slaughter of the little innocents of Bethlehem by his demonized men of war.

The marvel is 
that The LORD JEHOVAH 
refrained 
from slaughtering them !

How great and unfathomable is The FATHER’S love for mankind, for while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us . 

+  +  +
      
O CHRIST, THOU+ Who+ wast born to give men life, consecrate me to Thy+ use, for Thy+ purpose.  

Help me not to grieve nor hurt Thy+ long-suffering heart anymore.  

I thank THEE+ for Thy+ great mercy to terrible sinners, of whom I am the chiefest.  

Help me not to sin in thought, word, or deed anymore, for there is nothing hid from Thy+ eyes.

I consecrate my heart to THEE+, O dear Long-suffering SAVIOR, because I love THEE.+ 

Help me to love THEE+ to the utmost. 

In The Holy Name of JESUS, I pray. 
Amen

JESUS 2nd Coming With Angels in Glory

Revelation 12
Courtesy of BibleGateway.com

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: 

And she being with CHILD+ cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

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. 

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 ) HE+ was born.

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. 

~  ~  ~

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

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.

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. 
~  ~  ~

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.

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the MAN CHILD+.

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which 
  • keep the commandments of GOD, and 
  • have the testimony of JESUS CHRIST.

Meditation ~ ~ ~ 

O THOU+ Who+ came to rule all nations with Thy+ Rod of Iron, strengthen my feeble knees. 

Help me to kneel to THEE+ alone, in this world which demands my allegiance to promote its deceptions. 

Help me to bend the knee only to THEE+ when tempted to discount Thy+ Word and yield my thoughts to the values and philosophies of this world.  

O LAMB+ Who+ came to rule with Thy+ Rod of Iron, strengthen my knees to hold firm without fear... when faced with the worries engendered by the fallen lying angels which appear to control this world ... for a short space.

Rule me, O LAMB+, with Thy+ Rod and Staff which comforts, not with that terrifying Rod of Iron.

O LAMB+ of GOD Who+ came to take away the sin of the world, have mercy upon me.

LORD JESUS CHRIST, LAMB+ of GOD, bearer of my sins, have mercy upon me. 

LORD JESUS CHRIST, LAMB+ of GOD, my SAVIOR+ ,  grant me Thy+ peace.

Amen

The WORD+ Incarnate....the 7th Day of Christmastide

EMMANUEL
Faithful and True,
Judging in righteousness,
Ruling all nations
With a Rod of Iron...

O Come, Let us Adore HIM+ !



Meditation

And I heard a great voice out of Heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of GOD is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and GOD Himself shall be with them and be their GOD.
Rev. 21

O EMMANUEL+ , SON +  of the Living GOD, we thank THEE+ for donning the robe of flesh to live among us. 

We thank THEE+ for meeting satan as the Second Adam, and defeating him, so that mankind could escape the father of lies.

Help us, O EMMANUEL+ , to cling to THEE+ , Faithful and True ONE+, Who+ cannot lie.  

Blessed be GOD:
FATHER, SON+, and HOLY SPIRIT.

And, blessed be HIS Kingdom,
both now and forever,
world without end.
Amen.

Where is HE+... that we might worship HIM+?

ADVENT MEDITATIONS 2012
~ ~ ~ The All-Encompassing GOD ~ ~ ~
Luke 1:26-55

Meditation 6


 HE+
shall be great,
and shall be called
the SON+ of the HIGHEST:
and the LORD GOD shall give
unto HIM+ 
the throne of His+ father David:
Verse 32

JESUS will be called  SON+ of the HIGHEST.

The LORD [ YHWH] hath said unto ME+, THOU+ art My SON+ ; this day have I begotten THEE+. Psalm 2:7

This great, only-BEGOTTEN, unique SON+ of GOD will receive the nations as His+ Inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth as His+ Possession. Psalm 2:8

Now note this well: satan offered Our LORD JESUS the same thing...  in the temptations... to be acquired unlawfully. 

However, HE+ will inherit it ALL lawfully because HE+ obeyed the Will of His+ FATHER.

Furthermore, , what will Our LORD JESUS CHRIST  do with those nations and possessions of the uttermost parts of the earth when HE+ inherits them ALL?

Scripture plainly tells us what HE+ will do:

HE+ is going to break them
with a Rod of Iron!

HE+ is going to dash them
in pieces like a potter's vessel !

HE+ does not require all the wealth and splendor of all the nations on planet earth to make HIM+ great !

NO !

His+ Heavenly FATHER was well-pleased with the obedience of His SON+, who learned that obedience through the things that HE+ suffered.  

Amen.
Maranatha...

Come, LORD JESUS, Come !


Meditation


Almighty GOD our Heavenly FATHER, Who alone through Thy Greatness is able to bestow greatness upon the most humble, create in me a Divine desire for lowliness. 

Remove from me my desire for loftiness, for it is Thy realm alone. 

Keep Thy Greatness ever before my eyes, O LORD, to the end that my glory may sing praise to THEE, and not be silent, O LORD my GOD. 

These things I pray in the Name of JESUS CHRIST,  the SON+ of The HIGHEST.
