Revelation 1:16 Out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword!

Revelation l:16 Out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword.

The two-edged sword represents the word of God. (Ephesians 6:l7) When Jesus speaks it releases the power of God. This verse speaks of the coming judgments that are coming upon the whole world. (2 Thessalonians 2:8.) Isaiah ll:4 says,"He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth. This judgment will come upon the world that has rejected God's plan of salvation. Jesus wants to hold us in the palm of His hand and protect us from the coming judgments described in Revelation. (Isaiah 49:l6. )

Revelation l:l6 and His countenance was like the sun shinning in its strength.

John was present during the transfiguration of Jesus. His face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. (Matthew l7:2 )John recognized Jesus at once.

Revelation l:l7 and when I say Him I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last,

This also happened in Ezekiel l:28, 3:23, 43:3. There can be nothing but reverence in the presence of the holiness and glory of the Risen Savior. Jesus repeats again "I am the First and the Last."
