Election Relief

These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” Revelation 17:14

Paul wrote again to the Thessalonian church to tell them that the man of lawlessness or man of sin must first be revealed before the day of our Lord would come. Reading a little social media would lead anyone to believe that the man of lawlessness is pretty much any and all of our current politicians and office holders. And we know that sort of talk will likely ramp up in the next couple of weeks. So, by way of some election relief, let's talk about the true power coming to take the throne. 

We usually go with the title written on Him in Revelation 19, but here in chapter 17 He is known as the Lord of lords and King of kings. He is also the Lamb. We know that anyone who makes war on a lamb, the regular sheep kind that is, cannot be much of a warrior. However, the Lamb was the one pointed out by John the Baptist as the One who would take away the sin of the world. This Lamb was also the only one in all of Heaven found worthy to open the 7-sealed scroll that is the Revelation of what must shortly take place. And this Lamb is who the haters army of the world will attack in the end. He wins. This is evidently not the regular sheep sort of lamb, but the Lord of lords and King of kings. Which does not go without saying, for it is written in the word and bears repeating. 

Be with Him; be called, chosen, and faithful!
