THE MESSIAH AND THE KING
Minister Lisa Kane
December 11, 2022
Objective:
To reveal the prophetic fulfillment of Jesus Christ as both Messiah and King, showing how His birth, life, crucifixion, resurrection, and promised return all align with Scripture. The message seeks to help believers understand the dual role of Christ—first as the humble Redeemer born in the flesh, and later as the victorious King returning in glory. It calls listeners to recognize the good news of salvation and to prepare their hearts for His return.
Synopsis:
In this message, Lisa Kane presents a rich teaching on the prophetic foundations of Christ’s coming, beginning with Balaam’s prophecy in Numbers 24:17 that foretells a star rising out of Jacob and a scepter out of Israel. This imagery points to both the human birth of the Messiah and His divine kingship. The fulfillment is traced through the appearance of the star of Bethlehem, the wise men’s search, and prophecies from Daniel, Jacob’s blessings over his sons, and Micah’s foretelling of the Messiah’s birth in Bethlehem.
Lisa explains that Israel largely missed the Messiah because they expected a ruling king, not a suffering Redeemer. Yet Christ willingly laid down His authority as the Lion of Judah, went to the cross, and fulfilled the law through His sacrificial death. His crucifixion tore the temple veil, giving direct access to God, and His blood fulfilled the priestly requirement on the mercy seat, redeeming humanity by grace alone.
The message then turns to the hope of Christ’s return. Prophecies in Revelation describe His coming on a white horse as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, accompanied by the armies of heaven. While believers now live under grace, Lisa warns of the coming seven-year tribulation reserved for Israel and unbelievers, urging listeners to repent and receive salvation today.
The teaching closes with the reminder that Christmas is not merely about exchanging gifts, but about celebrating the birth of the Savior who came to redeem the world. It points to the joy of His resurrection and the certainty of His return as the reigning King.
Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above:
Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Sunday, December 11th, 2022. And this message is called the Messiah and the King. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing. We thank you for the good news of the birth of Christ and the good news of his crucifixion. As sad as it it may be, it is what was needed and the excellent news of his return on a white horse. Oh, Father God, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for sending your son to redeem us. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. This is a good message. We are going to be talking about the good news, the gospel right here, right in two weeks before Christmas. This is awesome. Here we go. Let's go to our opening scripture here. We're going to be starting in Numbers of all places. Numbers 24:17. I see him, but not now. I behold him, but not near. A star shall come out of Jacob. A scepter shall rise out of Israel and batter the brow of Moab and destroy all the sons of Tamalt. Okay, let me lay a little bit of groundwork here. The guy who's speaking this prophecy is a guy named Balam. He's hired by the king of Moab called Balak. Now, Balak's scared and he's like, "Here comes the nation of Israel. They're encamping basically around him, but they're at peace." You know, the Israelites have been coming more and more into the prom uh the promised land. They came out of the wilderness, but they've been conquering. And so this guy, they had a reputation that was preceding them. So this king gets scared. So he hires this guy, this prophet Balam, to place a curse on the Israelites. And he's like, I can't do it. I have to do what the Holy Spirit tell the word of God tells me. God tells me. He's a prophet. He's hearing the word from God. And he's speaking prophecy. So this is his fourth prophecy. And because there's scripture in there that tells you because he was following the word of God at this moment in his life and you can go check him out. He's an interesting prophet, but uh he's had his ups and downs. I'll put it that way. But anyways, here he is following the Lord gives him this prophecy. Now, I want you to see something here. Look at this prophet. It's powerful. And and this is perfect right here for Christmas. Okay? I want you to see this. A star shall come out of Jacob. Now notice it uses Jacob's name, his original born name. Now remember Jacob's name changed to Israel. He is the father of the 12 sons who become the 12 tribes of Israel. So he is the father. His name was Jacob and it changed to Israel. So now as a man before becoming a nation. So you see the difference here. He says a star shall come out of Jacob. meaning a star. It's going to come out of the man, the the the the worldly man, human man lineage. So now a male child is going to come out and he's going to have a star that is going to come out of him. Now that star, we know the wise men of the east found it. We're going to get into that a little bit more. Watch this. A scepter shall rise out of Israel. So now you also know that he's going to be king. So you've got two roles from the same person. But notice the name is now Israel, the nation of Israel, and it is now a spiritual thing because it is of God. So now you've got a clue here where you've got the king coming as a spiritual being and the son, a male child being born as a human being, male. Now, isn't that just cool? So, this is tucked in there. And and you got to read into it to get it. Now, did the wise men know this? I don't know. But what I do know is that they did find him. Let's go look at Matthew real quick. Let's discuss this. Matthew 2 1-2. Now, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east and have come to worship him. So, lots of questions here. Where do these wise men come from? So, I'm going to I I need to lay some groundwork here, okay? And I need you to to have an open mind here. It is possible that these guys come through Daniel and Daniel was placed head over the wise men of Babylon who were are the wise men from the east. So it is potentially because Daniel had such prophecies given to him for the future of the nation of Israel and the the return of Messiah when he'd be cut off and all that kind of good stuff. You will see that it is highly potential that he started the school and it just passed down because then all of a sudden these wise men find it. Now, you also know that there are heavenly signs that the scripture tells us to look for that tells us about the gospel and the good news. They're throughout scripture. Now, if I went into all of them, we'd be here forever. So, I cannot do that. Again, I encourage this is the time you're about to celebrate Christmas, the birth of our Messiah. Now, whether he was born on this day, when he was born, he was born, okay? And that's what counts. And this is the time where you're going to celebrate and you're going to exchange gifts. Well, this is the time to remember the good news of why he was born. He came as a man to redeem us. That is the most important thing. And he came with heavenly signs and all kinds of prophecies. So, to let you know a little bit more about these heavenly signs, let me give you a little background. And I'm going to go back to an older one that's not mentioned in the Bible, but it's mentioned in the book of Jasher. Now, the book of Joshua parallels Genesis quite a bit. It wasn't put in the Bible for whatever reason. Maybe because it it it it almost repeats itself. Maybe. I don't know. Don't know the reasoning behind it. Again, what we have in the physical Bible right now is the spiritual connotation of our spiritual growth. But these extra books here do provide um some historical context. And I like this particular one. And I it's been validated. This is a legitimate book. This is not a that's another thing is you have to be very careful if these things are um when they're written and the timing. You got to really look into this. But I do trust the book a jasher uh enough to know that when you look at the birth of Abram who becomes the father of many and nations, Abraham, you find that he had a very interesting birthday and there was a huge heavenly sign at his time. Now he was born when Nimrod was king and his father Tran or Terra he had been he was chief over the armies of Nimrod. So they the wise men came over to Tron's house and I I think I'm butchering his name but anyways they come over they're celebrating. He had a male child. His name is Abram. And as soon as they're done with the celebration, they walk out. They see like a shooting star or um a comet or an asteroid meteorite, something real fast. Eat at four stars is how they look at it. So some sort of celestial event that takes place. You can go look that up. Look it up in the book of Jasher. Just do search. I I did search the word star and that's how I found it. But you want to read about the birth of Abram. That is very interesting. So they knew as soon as they saw that that he would be the father of many nations and that a king would come out of his line. You want to talk about how upset Nimrod was? He ordered to because now his wise men went to him and says listen if we don't tell Nimrod this and he finds out he's going to kill us. We have to tell him because we want to live here. So they tell him. So they you know there there's a whole story there. You can see what Nimrod does in it. And Tron ends up getting um another child that was born the same day as Abram from one of his maid servants. And he gives that child and Iran kills that child. So Abram takes his the mother and Abram the son and they end up living in a cave for 10 years. And by the way, Abram was raised by Noah and Shem. And so now you understand how come Abram starts looking for God and then God takes him out of the land of the Calaldanss out of and brings him into what would end up being the the holy land for the nation of Israel. So a land filling flowing with milk and honey. So you can see this was all prophesied that was done there for them. So the same principle applies today for the star of Bethlehem. Now, I I'm not an astronomer and I'm not very good at that kind of stuff. So, I'm going to give you a reference point to check out. Check this out. There's a documentary called The Star Bethlehem. It was written uh pres uh I guess published in 2007. And uh here's the website for it. It's presented by a guy named Rick Larson. I highly recommend you watch it. You can uh buy it, rent it. Um and it's on YouTube if you search it. Anyways, get in there and check it out. He explains what Jupiter does coming in with Regulus, the star, coming in with Venus, brightens up and shows itself a lot lighter, and then goes into retrograde, which makes it looks like it stopped and made it look like it went backwards. And so, the men of the east saw this and and he explains how they could see it. By the way, when they go to talk to Herod and they set off a whole set of events here, Herod gets he feels threatened. So, he goes he he wants the wise men to come back and tell him where the child was born. He they never do the the either I don't remember it's an angel or um a dream, but they were told to get out of there and they did. So, they did not go back to Herod. But Herod went in, sent his men again like what Nimrod did. He wanted to kill the baby. Herod tried to kill every child, every male child under the age of two under at that time. So now they set off these series of events which means also the nation of see these wise men figured the king who is king of that land which meant he was king of Israel at that time because Israel was living there. He should have known about the star and he didn't. and these wise men are trying to figure out. So they set off this event and the nation of Israel missed it. And and and the worst part of all of this is that the nation of Israel didn't and even the wise men, did you see what the wise men said when they showed up? Look at this. Matthew 2 1-2. It says, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews?" Now, you saw my opening scripture where he was going to become a man and then come back spiritually as a king. They missed it. They didn't realize. So, he had two roles to fulfill here and they put him all into one thinking he's going to be king. The nation of Israel, you know why they rejected uh Jesus Christ as the son of God, as their Messiah? Because they didn't fit the profile they thought of him. He should have been king and he wasn't because he couldn't be king yet. Now he will come back as king but he's not king yet. So this is very interesting. So I want you to see now another prophecy of old that is in the past and uh over the birth of Christ here and what he's coming because now it's not just this one prophecy by Balam that did this. There's a whole lot of prophecies here but I want to show you this one. This is now Jacob blessing his sons. So let's put it in context first. So we're going to look at Genesis 49:es 1-2. And Jacob called his sons and said, "Gather together that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days." So now he's prophesying. And notice he says, "Gather together and hear you sons of Jacob and listen to Israel your father." He's talking as the man and he's talking as God. So he's prophesying. So now what we're going to do is we're going to skip to verse eight because we're going to just talk about Judah here. Not all the prophecies of all the sons. Again, you can go read that. It's very fascinating. So verse eight, Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise. The term Judah means praise. And we do praise our Lord Jesus. Amen. And Jesus comes out of Judah. Says, your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies. Your father's children shall bow down before you. Judah is a lion's welp. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He bows down. He lies down as a lion. And as a lion, who shall rouse him? Before I continue on, I want you to understand something here. See that Jesus, a lion's welp, he has the authority of a lion. He can be the And by the way, he's he was 33 years old when he did this. So he was very young. Lion's well, very young. And as he go, he went and lied his life dead. laid his life down at the cross with every authority that he could have walked away from it if he wanted to, but he didn't. Hallelujah. This is our Messiah. He laid down his authority, his life. He says, "No, I got Lisa in the future. I'm going to be seeing her. She's going to be praising and worship me. I got to go save her." You see how what Jesus did as a man born a male child and then crucified as a man to redeem us as the son of God because he fulfilled the law. Let's continue on with the prophecy here. Now he says the scepter shall not depart from Judah. So even though he laid his authority down, it wasn't leaving him. So you see, Israel should have known. They should have seen that he was going to come as a man first and then as king because now you're seeing him lay down the authority. But now they're saying, you know, he's not going to lose it. He ain't let it go. Uh nor lawgiver from between his feet until Shiloh comes, and to him shall be the obedience of the people, binding his donkey to the vine, and his donkeyy's cold to the choice wine. He washed his garments in wine and his clothes in the blood of grapes. His eyes are darker than wine and his teeth whiter than milk. He came in on a cult. Remember Palm Sunday? And they got the palms that they're laying down and he's walk riding on a a cult. You can see the prophecy here. Him as a man laying down his authority to go get crucified. This the nation of Israel should have known. So here I've been talking about when Daniel had taught them when they would know when Messiah would be cut off, but they didn't fit the image because they only saw one part of the prophecy. They were only seeing him as a king and not as the redeemer, as the Messiah, as the son of God. Oh, let's go on. Look here in Matthew 25-6. they said to him. And now when this is going back to the wise men talking to King Herod because now they're going to try to find out where he came from. So again, this goes back to the knowledge that they had. Remember the wise men are approaching the king because they think he should know everything. So and the Israelites are there. His wise men are there. Watch this. They're having this conversation about finding the male child. Watch this says, "So they said to him, so the question had come up was, well, where is he? Where, you know, they want to know. Obviously, Herod had a motive for wanting to know, but the wise men wanted to know because and so the the Israelites, the Pharisees and Sadducees, the wise men of that area are now answering. They said, "Well, this is uh" he says, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written by the prophet, but you Bethlehem in the land of Judah are not the least among the rulers of Judah. for out of you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people. Again, they went to the kingship. And notice they find this specific uh prophecy by Micah. Let's go to Micah because I want you to see the the scripture here. Micah 5:2 says, "But you Bethlehem Ephere tha though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to me the one to be ruler in Israel whose goings forth are from of old from everlasting." So they just targeted him in Bethlehem and they told Herod Bethlehem. They they knew that he would be coming. He would be born in Bethlehem. And he was he was born in Bethlehem. They did. The wise men found him, but they found them already in their home. They did. You know, I mistaught in the last couple of messages that I taught because I said he found him lying uh wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in manger. Something you're taught by Christmas pageantss. You got to be careful with Christmas. Go to the scripture. don't get caught up in the stories that fit the scene because they want to fit the wise men in with the the shepherds and the angels singing. You got to go back to the scriptures and see it. And I fell for that hook, line, and sinker. And I humbly apologize. So now going back to scripture, you find that they found him in his home. So anywhere between 3 months old to two years old, they find him and they give him gold, frankincense, and myrr and they worship him. But they found him because of the star doing what it was doing in that time frame. Go read that or watch that documentary. He explains all that. It's fascinating. But that is how they found the Messiah, the son of God, born as a man, born as a male child. That is awesome. And that is very good news. This is why we celebrate Christmas. Amen. Now though, he had a purpose. He lived for 33 years. And the last three years of life his life he was in ministry and he you saw the prophecies he laid down his authority as a lion of the tribe of Judah and he went and got crucified. Now let's go look at the crucifixion real quick. So I want you to see something here. It's very powerful. Matthew 24:50-54. And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. Then behold the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. Pause. You got to see this. The veil is like a thick piece of carpet and it kept the Holy of Holies. It kept people from going in there because God was in there and man, flesh, woman, we cannot get into the Holy of Holies as this. We can't. So they had to put this veil up and they made it thick. So thick. So when Jesus now see they rejected Jesus as the son of God when they rejected him because they were expecting a ruler. This guy wasn't a ruler. In fact he was being crucified and it was embarrassing because it was like being a worm on the cross in his loin cloth. Embarrassing. This cannot be our Messiah. This can't be the son of God. So they rejected him. And the moment he gave up his spirit, that veil was torn into
allowing now he tore the representation that the nation of Israel had of God. He tore it out of their hands and said, "Here, I put it on myself, Jesus Christ, because I am the son of God. And now I take it on myself and I will represent myself to the world and let the world know you can come direct to me. You don't have to go through the Holy of Holies. Oh, can you imagine the priest who saw that and discovered it? Or even if there were priests working around that area and heard it fall, the idea of looking in there, seeing that fall, and thinking you're about to die because now the Holy of Holies just came out. You could just imagine the look on their face, the fear turning pale white. Oh my goodness gracious, what an event. You have to look at that and see for what it is. But there's more. I want you to see this. This is awesome. Says, "And the earthquake and the rocks were split." Okay? Jesus had a purpose because he's redeeming us with his blood. And I want you so let's I'm going to come back to this part here. Let's finish reading the scriptures. And the graves were open and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. and coming out of the graves after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. So when the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared God greatly, saying, "Truly, this was the son of God." There's a lot that happened there. Okay, so it come out of the graves, by the way.
And you got to understand this pe this is peacemeal into a moment but it it happens over the three days because Jesus is in the grave for three days and then he comes out of it. But these events so they see it. So this centurion by the way uh so he he acknowledges that he's the son of god and he realizes he just crucified the son of god. Do you even hear about a centurion going and committing suicide? No. You know why? Because he heard the teachings of what happened. He heard from Peter and the disciples of that time telling him this had to happen. He warned us this would happen. And now he is our Messiah. He's the redeemer. His blood redeemed us. But that centurion saw that blood go down and he got the whole thing put together and he believed. Now I want you to see what happened here. He says the earthquake and the rock split. Well, what took place here? Go to Ron Wyatt's ministry. Go check out his website. He found the ark of the covenant. Now he's gone on to be with the Lord. He's rested in peace with the heavenly father right now. But he finds this cave down there. He actually faints when he finds it. You can go read about his story. He's got video. Um but he he finds it and the angels help him and he gets blood off the mercy seat. But it's right under the cross. So when the rock split, the blood that came out from what the centurion stabbed him with, blood and water, it flowed and hit the ground, shaking it, splitting the rocks. and the blood lands right on the mercy seat. He fulfilled the law. He didn't He didn't rebuke it. He didn't stop it. He didn't end it. He fulfilled it. And then he said, "I give you grace. Just ask me. You don't have to do anything to be redeemed. You are saved by grace and grace alone because I forgive you of your sins." And that is what the blood on the mercy seat did. And Ron White had that blood tested. And these people, different agencies said, "Where did you get this blood? It was missing the male part." And it was perfect and it was still alive. Oh, and if you guys don't believe that, even if you don't believe that, you can believe that maybe an angel was there and he poured it on there, but that blood had to go on the mercy seat of the ark of the covenant. And it did. Hallelujah. And you could see even the centurion realize this is the son of god. So now you see him uh fulfill the priestly duty as the son of god as a male as a man a human man who went to the cross. He completed everything. And here's the best part. Remember Jesus is the embodiment of the words let there be light. He's the power of the new. He had wrote the scriptures from the beginning, working with Daniel, working with Jeremiah, working with Isaiah. He's been there from the beginning, giving them the right words to say, how to put it down, how to write it. He gave that to them. So when he was there, he knew, I got to fulfill what I had written here. I got to do this. I got He fulfilled prophecy. He fulfilled first being the man. And he did it as the son of God, holy, perfect, no sin on him. But he took the sin from each and every one of us. Took it on him and he took it with grace and he went to the cross and gave up his spirit. Laid down his authority. Remember how the devil tempted him. I can give you all. First of all, Jesus already had all that authority. But he laid it down at the cross. Says, I'll come back to get you. And we're going to talk about him returning as king. But he says, I'll come back to get you. I got to go save Lisa. I got to go save you. Put your name there. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You see why you celebrate now? His birth. Now look at this. Psalm 45:6 and Hebrews 18 says the same thing. Your throne, oh God, is forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness is a scepter of your kingdom. Whoever wrote Hebrews, a lot of people think it's Paul. He he quoted it also and says, "But to the son, he says, your throne," and he's talking to the son of God there. This is your throne, oh God, is forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom. So even though he laid down his authority, he had his kingdom forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness.
So what did Jesus do then? He laid this down. And look, because he didn't come to condemn us. Look at this. Look at what he did on the cross. He says John 3:15 through18 that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved. He who believes in him is not condemned, but he who does not believe in him is condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the holy begotten son of God. This is what Jesus had to do as the son of God as a man. And he did it flawlessly. We can be saved today. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. But he's coming back because he laid his scepter down, his kingship down, his authority down. He picked it back up. So, by the way, he leaves. He He hands the representation to the bride of Christ now. He says, "You tell them I'm coming back. You tell them they can get grace. Get as many as you can." And that's what we've been doing from generation to generation. But he says, "I come back." Which means this grace period comes to an end. So, we can celebrate his birth and we can celebrate his death, but it it will end. Mercy and grace is here and now, but it is not in the seven-year tribulation. So, let's go look at that because we need to understand what's going on here because he's got to now put the he, you know, in Daniel, and I've been teaching on this, so I'm not going to go deeply into this because I've already taught on it. And Daniel says the nation of Israel has 490 years of punishment they got to give to God. Well, they only gave 483 years. They got seven years left. So now the nation of Israel has to come back into the picture. So God Jesus has to give them back their authority during that time to minister to the people at that time which is what the role of the 144,000 will be and the two witnesses which means it has to be taken away from the bride of Christ. Now he violently tore it away from the nation of Israel. What is he going to do for the bride of Christ? Well, there's two options. Let's go read first what's going on in Revelation here. 5:5 But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the line of the tribe of Judah, the root of David has prepared to pre prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals." So that was the fulfillment of Jesus on the cross as a man. So now you're going to see in Revelation 19 him come back. Now, what I want you to see and understand here is that seven-year tribulation is a whole new set of rules. You see, we celebrate the birth of Christ and we celebrate his death right now because you can get grace right now and be saved now. Don't pass this opportunity up because there are two options here. You have the option to go up in the rapture, which will happen on the day of the Lord. And this is the day that starts day one of the seven-year tribulation. God pours his wrath out on that day. It's a huge earthquake. So, if you survive that day, you have the option. Now, if you're a believer in Christ, you've you ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. You call him the son of God, you will be saved, and you get to avoid the seven-year tribulation. But I'm going to tell you right now, the invitation to attend the seven-year tribulation has been placed for the nation of Israel. And they've accepted because they rejected Jesus on the cross as the son of God. They they uh they crucified him. So they accepted their invitation to the seven-year tribulation. That seven-year tribulation is for them. But anyone else alive on that day of the Lord who has not called Jesus the son of God, they now accept the invitation to attend that seven-year tribulation as well. Now, people will die through that time. A lot of people, in fact, by the time the seven years come to an end, it says men will be finer than gold. So, you can imagine how few people are going to be on the planet at that time. It's going to be nuts. Okay. I do not wish that on even an enemy. Okay? I don't wish it on anyone. Do not go through this time period. Now is the time to accept grace. But I will tell you at the end of that seven-year tribulation, we have the victory. Watch what Jesus does because now he's got to come back as king. Because the prophecy say he's going to come back as king. We know he came as son as the son of God as a male child here born on the earth. Now we can know he came he's going to come as king. Watch this. Revelation 19. We're going to read verses 11 through 16. Now I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse. And he who sat on him was called faithful and true and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire and on his head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except himself. He was clothed with the robe dipped in blood and his name is called the word of God. Remember I said he's the embodiment of let there be light. He is the word of God. He's been there the entire time and you can see that name is on him as he comes back. That name is on him. He is the son but he's the word of God. Now look and here it is what John now you got to realize something here. I want you to see this. Revelation is written by John as an old man and he's on the island of Patmos. He's writing this. But John as a younger version of himself already knew that he was the word of God. So now you can go back to John 1:1. Look at what he says. He says, "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God." He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him and without him nothing was made that was made. In him was life and the life was the light of men. So he's been here the entire time. This is all his his events. This is all about Jesus. Everything's about Jesus. You got to put him first and then you can have everything else. Oh, look at this though. And by the way, you won't want anything else. You know what? When you die to yourself and you die to sin, you want to spend time with the Lord. You know, I was in this this week studying the scripture. Really, this message has been one of the toughest ones I've had to teach in a while because the devil doesn't want the gospel, the good news to be shared. But you know, as buffeted as I was, I still got up here and I spent all day yesterday working on this message and all the interruption. It was like, wow. But the good news is that he was born and he died a man fulfilling the law, redeeming us, and he's coming back as king. And he is the word of God. And he's been here this whole time. And you know this, by the way, you know this in your spirit. You know, even an unbeliever knows this. They know this. They they could feel it. They sense it. Now watch this. Look at this. So, and the armies in heaven clothed him. Look, I'm finishing up Revelation here. And the armies in heaven clothed him fine linen, white and clean, followed him on white horses. That's us. Those of us who say Jesus is the son of God, we're going to be there with him because rapture already happened. We're coming back now. And and so many people have died up to this point. So, these are the people who have claimed Jesus as the son of God and put him in as their lordship. We're on the white horses behind him coming in to fight. Well, there is no fight, by the way. Yeah.

This is how much Jesus loves us. Look at this now. Says, "Now out of his mouth goes a sharp sword that with it he should strike the nations." Remember his mouth, let there be light, started this whole thing. So his word comes out and this is what defeats it all. This is he doesn't have to lift up a a real sword. He's got it coming out of his mouth. Let there be light and there was light and here we are today. Now out of his mouth goes a sharp sword that with it he should strike the nations and he himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He himself treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. He is putting an end to it all there. He is even ending the wrath of God. He's pressing it down. This is it. Now, now I want you to see what he is to fulfill all this. Look at this. And he has on his robe and on his thigh a name written, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Oh, hallelujah. And he comes back as our King. That is what the nation of Israel was looking for. They're going to finally see it. Oh, they're going to finally see it and they're going to be like, "There's our Messiah. There's our God." And we're all going to be there. What an awesome message. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
