which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
C. Swords.  In Revelation, the great King is portrayed with a sharp sword proceeding out of his mouth  (Revelation 19:15), the sword being the word of God. During his earthly ministry, Jesus once asked for a sword, but never carried one.  His true sword is spiritual, namely, his word.  This is the "sword of the Spirit  (Ephesians 6:17).  Christ needs only to speak, and it is done.  By his word, he created the worlds; he came from heaven to bring the word of salvation to men; his word shall raise the dead and assemble the men of all ages to the assize of the Great Day; his word shall enter the righteous into glory and banish the wicked forever.  Wherever was there a sword to be compared to the sword of Christ?
