Sorry for the belated post - I was horrifically sick yesterday and did nothing but lay in bed. Feeling slightly better today, so here's the post meant for yesterday.
The Rider on the White Horse
"When the heavens open, John sees Christ, accompanied by the armies in heaven (v. 14), coming in victory and judgment to establish his millennial kingdom on earth. Certainty about the identity of the rider on the white horse (v. 11) is established beyond question by the threefold manner in which He is named. First, He is called Faithful and True (v. 11). Second, He has a name that no one knew except Himself (v. 12), indicating that “no human name can express what He is in Himself”. Third, His name is called The Word of God (v. 13), which is the most unmistakable title of all, harking back to the opening verses of John’s Gospel." [1]
There's a great song by Josh Garrels that I've been saving for a while, called "Revelator". I think today's a good day for it - enjoy!
