White light

Sorry for delay on presidential analysis. will update tonight

Revelation 6: [9] And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

[10] And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
[11] And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Obviously if white robes are given to the souls of the people who’ve been killed, there’s things you can learn about the state of the dead, reasons Richard Jordan. No. 1, you learn that when a person’s body dies their soul doesn’t.

Here’s some people whose bodies have been physically killed but their souls are alive and are conversing and praying to God and white robes are given to their souls. So, the idea that when you die your soul ceases to exist won’t get it.

You know you better be careful when you come to that Bible. The heart attitude with which you approach that Book determines what you get out of it. It’s been that way in every age.

You come to that Book and you want to prove your church is right and you’re right and everybody else is wrong, or you come to it with what you want and you want to prove your mind and intellect and that you’re superior to everything, you can prove it.

There are people who are going to stand at the Great White Throne Judgment and be bound hand and foot and cast out into the lake of fire quoting Scripture back to God, and if you don’t believe that you haven’t been around many people of a religious nature.

In Revelation 6 you come to this man on a white horse and the idea that God wouldn’t send him is just the opposite of what God said He’s going to do. He’s going to send the Antichrist.

That is, men don’t want Him, He’s going to allow the Antichrist free reign; He’s going to quit restraining him and He’s going to allow him to do what he wants to do.

God’s going to take the hedge away in this tribulation period, in this 70^th Week, and what you’re going to find is the devil was right about a whole lot of humanity. What you’re going to have is a paring away, a dividing, a purging out  and an identifying of who’s who.

How come Christ is on the white horse in Revelation 19 and it’s not Christ on the white horse in chapter six? Well, compare the two.

Revelation 6:2: [2] And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

Revelation 19: [11] And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
[12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
[13] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
[14] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

Is there a difference between a crown and many crowns? So it’s not a match. You go to verse 15: [15] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

What kind of weapon did the guy back in Revelation 6:2 have? You see a sword back in chapter 6? No, he’s got a bow. You know the difference between fighting with a bow and with a sword? They are two different pieces of armor. One’s a piece of artillery and one’s a piece of hand-to-hand combat.

In Revelation19:14, it says the armies which were in heaven followed Him. You go back to Revelation 6 down to verses 7 and 8 and you see what followed this guy? Death and hell. The armies of heaven aren’t following this guy in Revelation 6. Just because they both are sitting on white horses doesn’t mean they are the same.

You say, “Well, why would the guy be sitting on a white horse?” Because the guy over there in Revelation 19 is sitting on one.

Folks, you know, the greatest imitator the universe has ever seen of the Lord Jesus Christ is who? The devil. Why didn’t you know the devil’s going to try to trick you into thinking he’s God anyway?

Isn’t that what he said in Isaiah 14:14? He said, “I got all this wise plan and the goal is that I might be like the most High God.”

I mean, he’s such a good imitator that if he stood up on this platform tonight, and Jesus Christ stood there, you’d pick the wrong one.

Based on everything you know from your own wisdom and your own training and your instincts and all, if you didn’t go strictly, literally by the Book and nothing but the Book, you’d pick the wrong one. And if you went by the wrong book, you’d pick the wrong one too.
