THIS IS WHAT THE LORD SAYS. A strong. positive statement made by Jehovah Concerning His Israel. He is their King, therefore anticipating that they will acknowledge Him as such. Not only with the words of their mouths but in their deeds as well, the giving of honor, obedience and acquiescence to His will and desire toward them. The guidance of a King is to be accepted and followed, especially this King. Not only is He their King but He is also their redeemer. He is that very special man who according to the Law must buy back those who have been caught up in slavery. He was known as the near kinsman and was required to marry a relatives widow to sustain her livelihood and to continue the name of his dead brother. Deut. 25:5-10 Such was the case between Boaz and Ruth. Ruth 3:9 . Christ Jesus is our near kinsman and has fully redeemed those who believe in Him from all their sin. He has paid the ultimate price for full and complete salvation.
HE IS JEHOVAH ALMIGHTY. There will be a group of people who have gone through the tribulation and faced the antichristal forces and been triumphant over them. These are brave, hardy souls who will gather before the throne with harps and will sing a very special song. It is a song of victory. They are Law keepers for they sing the song of Moses and of the Lamb, the Lord Jesus. They are converts who receive Jesus as their Messiah under the witness and testimony of the two witnesses, which indicates that there will be believers in the tribulation. The witnesses are Moses and Elijah, the Law and the prophets. Compare the display of power by these two witnesses and it is identical to the miracles accomplished by Moses and Elijah in their first ministry on earth. Rev. 11:3-6 Their song is one of exaltation and glorifying the Lord God Almighty. He is recognized for His greatness and His superiority. There is none like Him. His method and manner of all that He does is right and true. There is no fault to be found in Him. He is the perfection of truth and justice. The one by whom came grace and truth will then be recognized as the Kings of Saints or King of the nation. That new nation built by the Lord. Rev. 15:3 He introduced Himself to John on the isle of Patmos as the Lord God the Almighty. Not a position or an entitlement that may be denied Him. He is the beloved Son in whom the Father is well pleased. Also as the Alpha and the Omega, the Greek alphabet but more so, the WORD of the Lord. Likewise He made manifest His eternal being in the statement, who is, who was and is to come. Eternal, everlasting, preexisting the whole of creation. Making Him to be equal with the Jehovah who revealed Himself as I AM. Rev. 1:8 The Lord Jesus is the chosen of His Father. Jesus is the Fathers beloved Son. Emotions that are far beyond any human feelings in intensity, for Jesus is the very heart throb of His Father. In manifesting that tremendous pleasure and joy that He had in His Son He filled Him with the fullness of His Spirit. Mt. 12:18 Without measure, the completeness of the Spirit dwelt within Him. Please the Father and He will do the same for you.END***.
