Sword of the Lord! | |
This is a KJV Bible study guide. Revelation 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. (You can find out what the seven stars represent in Revelation 1:20. The sharp twoedged sword represents the Word of God. The Word can cut deep into our soul revealing our sin, or it can bring out the good and build us up; it can cut both ways. Can you see the symbolism? See Matthew 17:1-2 below for more on Christ’s transfiguration). Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (The Word of God is like a double edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit. It will expose our innermost thoughts and desires; good, bad or otherwise). Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (You will need the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, the two edged sword of Christ, which is the Word of God. The Word cuts both ways; it can build you up, or it can tear you down; see proverbs 5:3-4 next). Proverbs 5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: (There are two Hebrew words used for "strange", and "stranger". The first, "Strange" is the Hebrew word "zur", "an apostate Israelite man or woman [one of our own people] gone over to the idolatrous impurities of an heathen religion." The other Hebrew word for "Stranger" is "naker", and "she is a foreign woman [or man], not of Israel with a similar character to the "zur". The zur is someone [man or woman] that is a Christian, that knows God's Word, but in time starts listening to strange doctrine and traditions of men, and heathen religious forms that will lead him or her to worship Satan, the false messiah). Proverbs 5:4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. ("Wormwood" from the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary is # 3939; "La`anah, from an unused root word, curse; (regarded as poisonous, therefore accursed)." The words of one of these apostates or churches is poisonous to your spiritual life. We know that at our Lord Jesus Christ's return, out of Christ's mouth went "a sharp twoedged sword", as we read from Revelation 1:16. However wormwood's twoedged sword is a sword of spiritual destruction. This wormwood is also mentioned in Revelation 8:10, 11; "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;" When Satan this "great star" falls from heaven onto the earth, there will appear to be a lamp burning with the truth. The light from that lamp will set the entire world up to accept Satan as the Messiah, when in fact his deception will fall on all those that accept his lies, and worship him. Rivers are peoples and nations and the "fountains of waters" are the source of their spiritual knowledge; that source will be contaminated with lies and deception. People will gladly believe a lie. Matthew 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, Matthew 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. The sharp twoedged sword represents the Word of God. Which way do you let it affect you? The right way or the wrong way? Your choice. | |
