2. Jesus rides in judgement
Reminder of who it is who has come to earth
He is the Logos of God – John 1 v 14
He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords: 1 Tim 6 v 15, Revelation 1 v 5, revelation 17 v 14, Deuteronomy 10 v 17 & Psalm 136 v 3
His nature
In righteousness He judges and makes war
Ch 15 v 3 He is just, righteous and true
Ch 19 v 2 He is true and righteous
Psalms 7 v 8, 9 v 8, 34 v 24, 50 v 6, 67 v 4, 72 v 2 and:
Psalm 96 in particular refers to Him being worshipped for Hid righteous judgement.

3. Jesus rides in judgement
His omniscience – awareness of all things
Heb 4 v 13 – all things are naked and open before Him
Rev 1 v 14 & 2 v 13 & 23 – eyes like a flame of fire – piercing and all seeing.
Jer 17 v 9 & 10 He knows the human heart and renders just judgement
His Authority
V 12 diadem crowns – many of them
Here He is not informal and friendly: He is angry
He is the head of the body, the Church – how do we show our submission and subjection to our King?

4. Jesus rides in judgement
Authority continued
He commands armies in heaven
The armies (bride) was granted to wear white linen (the righteousnesses of the Saints)
Rev 7 v 14 – washed white in the blood of the lamb – so saved people (the church)
And we are already in heaven with Him
1 Thess 4 v 17 describes His coming for us – His church
Dan 12 v 1 and following – the Old Testament Saints are raised at the end, described in Matt 25 v 31 and following, so these cannot be OT saints.

5. Jesus rides in judgement
Anger
Vesture dipped in blood
Isaiah 63 describes this time in more detail
Mount of Olives – a victory ascent as with many battles over the years
Mediterranean to Dead Sea all downhill for 200 miles, hence the bloodbath
He battles alone!!
“Trodden in my anger”
Such finality in judgement
Heb 4 v 12 ‘two edged sword’ is ‘machaira’ – short for close combat
Here it is ‘romphaia’ – the large sword for striking the final blow of execution

6. Jesus rides in judgement
Rod of iron
As in psalm 2 v 9 broken like smashed pottery
Also in Revelation 2 v 27 and 12 v 5
Rev 14 v 19 – cast into the winepress of God’s wrath
So! He comes in conquest.
The outcome is described graphically in the last 5 verses
Total destruction
V 17 – the birds come and eat
Angel in the sun calling them – a planned outcome
Loud voice and commanding all to obedience – even the birds
Ezekiel 39 v 17 a similar event – many think the same event – but cannot be
Matt 24 v 27 hints that there are two bird feedings

7. Jesus rides in judgement
It is the Beast that makes war, not the northern nations
They set out to make war with the lamb not Israel
Chapter 16 v 14 & 17 v 14
Ch 19 v 20, 17 v 14 fulfilled as the Beast and false prophet are taken – seemingly publicly – and cast alive into the lake of fire
Ch 20 v 10 – these two are already in the lake of fire: punished for deception
Possibly a dramatic example to all unbelievers
If so, utterly terrifying
