King of Kings and Lord of Lords

Rev. Andrew Preus, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in New Haven, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Revelation 19:11-21. John sees heaven opened and Jesus riding on a white horse. He brings judgment in the righteousness that He has won through His atoning sacrifice. He is Faithful and True, the very Word of God. His robe bears the stains of His own blood by which He has atoned for the sins of the whole world. As His final victory approaches, the enemies of God are gathered for a feast—the birds of the air will devour them after their defeat. The beast and the false prophet are cast into the lake of fire, for the Lord Jesus will have no enemies threaten His people ever again. “Come Lord Jesus!” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the Revelation given to St. John. Although some look at Revelation with fear, it is a book of supreme hope in our crucified, risen, and ascended Lord. The book of Revelation gives a heavenly perspective on our earthly circumstances so that the Church in every generation is challenged, comforted, and assured of final victory through Jesus Christ.
