Revelation 1:16

Rev1:16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went sharp two-edged sword and his countenance was as the sunshineth in his strength. (KJV)


The seven stars:
The seven stars in Christ right hand are representive of the seven angels of he seven churches.  Angels in the greek are translated as "messengers".  Some believe this is a direct representation of the ministers God appointed to lead the local congregations.  A different view is that it is actuially an angel sent to look over that church.  Meaning all churches have guardian angels?   Matt. 18:10 Christ indicates that the little children have guardian angels so.....why not?


Out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword:
We find in Hebrews 4:12 that the Word of God is "sharper than any two-edged sword."  As the words of Christ are spoken on judgement day, there will be NO defense.  2 Thess. 2:8 "The Lord will slay the wicked with the breath of his mouth."


Countenance was as the sunshineth in his strength:
This is referring to the divine nature of Christ.   See Matt. 17:2, this passage reminds us of the description of Christ when on the Mount of Transfiguration.  Judges 5:31 tells us that, "...his friends shall be like the sun as he rises in his might."  The verse starts with the fact that the enemies of God shall parish!  His strength causes the shining!  Oh what a day it will be.  If your not right with God......I am begging you, get right now.  (Write me on my e-mail and we can talk!)  


Blessings on all till next time,

  1. Keep it going, it is a very needful and large project. I have studied Revelation and Daniel a lot and what I have found is that most of the stuff written is wrong and had been understood from the natural mind.

    Good night Mrs. Calabash where ever you are.
