REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/John Beholds the Glorified Jesus

 In the Lord's Day

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." - ACTS17:31; JOHN 1:1.

"And he had in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword was protruding, and his countenance was as the  sun when it shines 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, long 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.
