Chapter Five/John Beholds the Glorified Jesus - In the Lord's Day - Continue

 Indeed, as a perfect human, Jesus had a radiance that was apparent to angels and men. (John 1:14) His glorious feet also remind us that he is treading holy ground in Jehovah's organization, in which he is High Priest. (Compare Exodus 3:5.) Further, his voice resounds thunderously like a huge cascading waterfall. It is impressive, awe-inspiring as is fitting for the one officially called the Word of God, the one who has come "to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness. - ACTS 17:31; JOHN 1:4. 

"And he had in his right hand seven stars and out of his mouth, a sharp, long two-edged sword was protruding and out of his countenance was as the sun when it shines in its power. And when I saw him, I fell as dead at his feet." (Revelation 1:16, 17a) Jesus himself explains the meaning of the seven stars a little later. But notice what is coming out of his mouth. "a sharp two-edged sword." What a fitting feature! For Jesus is the one appointed to pronounce Jehovah's final judgments against His enemies. Decisive utterances from his mouth result in the execution of all wicked ones. - REVELATION 19:13, 15.
