Notes
-
° Jesus retuns in power on a white horse, we as the church are with Him on our white horses, the armies of the earth are surrounding Jerusalem to war with The Messiah,
Jesus wipes them all out with His WORD, the blood fills the valley of Jehoshaphat up to the horses bridle...
° Thus turning Jesus' white horse red, some of our white horses red speckled, and some of our horses stay white because they are outside the valley
° After the war (not much of a war really)...some of us, or maybe all of us are dispatched to walk "to and fro through the earth" and we come back to report that "all the
earth sitteth still, and is at rest."
° Finally, after thousands of years, constant war, the church being persecuted, the continual attempt to wipe out the Jews, to take God's land of Israel, to subdue the Word
of God...the earth will sit still and be at rest...
° Then, Jesus goes to embrace the remnant of Israel who fled according to Jesus' instructions in Matthew 24 at the mid-point of the tribulation
° Those in Israel that listen to Jesus will flee into the wilderness
° This is prophesied in Revelation 12
