The Return of Christ to the earth itself. The Return of Christ to the earth itself. But now has struck the appointed hour of retribution. Let us sit down before it and study it in detail.
Every word here calls for close attention.
In Scripture, colors are used emblematically. Everything in the passage we are now examining is in marked contrast to our Lord's first Advent. Then He was seen, meek and lowly, seated upon the back of an ass. But now He is coming back to the earth for a different work from that which He performed when He was here before. He returns now for the purpose of subduing wickedness, to destroy evil doers, to overthrow Anti-christ and to remove Satan from these scenes.
