The Return
|

Uriel never
tired of watching his Master’s horses. He considered them to be the
most majestic of all creatures and thought no other beast could
surpass them in grace, beauty, strength and courage.
As Uriel headed for the pasture, he
felt a thrill of excitement. His Master had finally made His
selection. Uriel was not surprised at His choice. The chosen horse
was one of Uriel’s favorites. His Master told him he had chosen her
because although she was as fearless as a lioness, her heart was
pure and she was loyal, trusting and obedient.
Uriel knew the horse’s former owner
had been a cruel man. The little horse had been mistreated and had
worked long hours with little rest. In the summer, she often stood
in the heat, thirsty and tired and in the wintertime she was left in
the cold. But the little horse never tried to kick or bite. She
always obeyed her cruel owner and even when he whipped her and
cursed her, she never tried to retaliate or run away.
When the drab,
little horse first arrived at the Master’s barn, she was covered
with dirt and grime and her mane and tail were matted and tangled.
But her transformation was incredible! After the dirt and grime had
been washed away and her mane and tail had been tenderly combed, the
little horse was found to be a white, mare. Soon she was trotting
around the pasture, eating all the sweet, new, grass she wanted and
drinking from the crystal clear water in the pond, and getting
bigger and stronger with each passing moment. She loved the other
horses and every time a new, scared little foal or colt appeared,
she was the first to welcome them and let them follow her around.
She would lead them to the apple trees and gently nudge them towards
the ripe, juicy, apples lying on the ground and then rest with them
in the soft grass, while they napped.
Uriel stopped at the edge of the
pasture. As soon as the white horse spotted him, she trotted up and
pressed her soft nose into his hand. Her large, dark eyes reflected
the love, loyalty and courage that were the basis of her character.
"Ah, my precious," Uriel crooned as he rubbed her velvety
nose, "Among all of the horses, He has chosen you." The
magnificent white horse pawed and whinnied and Uriel knew she
understood and was eager to prove her Master had made the right
choice.
Uriel continued stroking her
forehead and neck. "Yes, Master has been very patient towards
those who will not obey His laws and wish to over throw His rule.
They would not listen when He sent His Son. And even though they
killed Him, the Master continued to send emissaries and ambassadors
to appeal to them. He has been faithful in providing food and other
good things to them but they will not change. Now he has no choice
except to send His armies against them. They and the evil they have
wrought must be destroyed."
Uriel led the horse to the barn
where he began grooming her. She stood tall and proud with head and
ears erect. He was amazed and pleased with how large she had
become. Her former owner would never recognize her, even if it were
possible for him to now see her. As he brushed her gleaming coat,
he thought of how thousands of other horses were also being prepared
to carry His Master’s soldiers to battle; but only he had the honor
of grooming the one His Master’s son would ride!
A special saddle had been created
and Uriel carried it over to the waiting horse. One of his helpers
flew over to assist him and soon the snow-white mare was resplendent
in her scarlet, silver and golden trappings. The saddle was made of
soft, white leather, trimmed in gold and silver. The reins, plaited
from three cords of white leather, connected to her halter, for she
was trained to respond to her rider’s voice, so there was no need
for a bit. Uriel carefully smoothed out the edges of the scarlet
cloth beneath the saddle and wrapped the reins around its horn. He
let down the silver stirrups and lovingly patted the horse on her
rump.
"Go and tell our Master the horse is ready," Uriel told the
helper, as he took hold of her halter and began leading her to the
compound where the Master’s armies would soon be amassing.
The horse stood still as a statue
and her appearance was breath taking. Her flowing mane and tail
gleamed and sparkles of brilliant light reflected and bounced from
the ornate saddle and trappings. Uriel thought, "She is indeed a
steed fit for the Prince."
Soon, Uriel heard the thundering
echoes of thousands of hoofs as the armies of His Master headed
towards the compound. Blasts from trumpets could be heard and the
white mare began to stamp her feet in readiness, eager to begin the
long journey to battle. She was created for battle and her great
heart throbbed with excitement!
The Master’s son approached. Uriel
could tell he was ready to meet the enemy and there was no doubt
that he would be victorious. He was dressed in armor of gold and on
His head His father had placed many crowns. His eyes blazed with
fire and His snow-white hair fluttered in the breeze. Across His
forehead was a name, known only to Himself. The pure linen of His
vesture had been dipped in blood and His title was THE WORD OF
GOD and on His thigh was written KING OF KINGS, AND
LORD OF LORDS!
He was Yeshua HaMashiach, the only
begotten Son of Yahweh and now He was returning to smite the wicked
and bring vengeance upon the enemies of Almighty God. A voice cried
out, "He is Faithful and True and in righteousness he will
judge and make war."
Prince Yeshua reached out and patted
the horse’s forehead. She rubbed her head gently against His
shoulder and bowed to Him. Her devotion was obvious and it brought
to His remembrance the little donkey that carried Him, while he was
yet in His mother’s womb, and then carried Him again on His family’s
flight to Egypt. He also remembered the faithful little colt that
carried Him through the streets of Jerusalem as crowds waved palm
fronds and shouted "Hosanna." But now it was time to deal
with the wicked and set up His Father’s Kingdom on Earth. Prince
Yeshua grasped the reins and mounted the horse. She shook her head
up and down and whinnied, as if to say, "Yes, it’s time!"
Gabriel blew a mighty blast on his
trumpet and Michael raised his awesome sword and flew into place
behind his Lord, leading the awesome angelic army of Yahweh.
Michael’s armor glistened and his blood red cape billowed
majestically below his mighty wings. Behind the warrior angels,
thousands of saints, dressed in fine, clean, linen and mounted on
white horses, followed. Their arms were raised in praise and their
voices joined in with those of the angels singing, "Holy, Holy,
Holy is Yahweh and His Son, Yeshua!" Prince Yeshua rocked
forward in the saddle, raised His right arm and shouted, "Come!"
and His faithful army headed towards earth, following The Lord of
Hosts!
A large, bright, star rose in the
heavens, and just as it had once signaled His arrival, as a tiny
infant, it now proclaimed His return as The Lion of Judah!
The "earth-dwellers" looked up in amazement, as they beheld Him
coming from the East and circling the globe for all to see.
Demonic, frog-like spirits were dispatched to the leaders of earth
to deceive them into coming and joining Antichrist in fighting the
True Messiah. Millions of soldiers were dispatched to the plains
of Megiddo, the site of so many past battles among Earth’s peoples.
The Battle of Armageddon was about to commence!
Antichrist and his minions had
conquered half of Jerusalem and the city was being plundered, looted
and destroyed. The Israeli soldiers had fought with valor but now
as the weary army retreated, all seemed lost. BUT then the descent,
of the armies of God, towards Jerusalem began. The incredible
brightness, of the Lord, pierced the gray skies and the Fear of God
shot into the hearts of those watching Him galloping across the
heavens in all His glory! He was encompassed with flames of fire,
advancing through the clouds, with His tens of thousands of angels
and saints!
The time of judgment had come.
Those enemy nations, surrounding Jerusalem had seemed invincible
until the Prince of Peace appeared, riding upon His gleaming, white
horse. His glorious voice issued forth as a sharp sword, which
thundered in anger against His enemies. He galloped above the
terrified soldiers and just as he once spoke creation into being He
now shouted utter destruction to the wicked. His eyes flashed
flames as a plague overcame and filled both men and beasts with
terror. They went blind, staggering like rotting corpses as their
flesh, eyes and tongues were consumed and their remains fell to the
ground, silenced forever.
Michael and his warrior angels flew
above the fleeing armies, smiting them with their mighty swords. The
saints thundered behind the angel warriors slaying those who had
managed to escape the angelic swords. The Israeli soldiers rejoiced
and with renewed strength, joined in the fray. Now it was their
enemies who were retreating.
Flaming fire and brimstone fell upon
other parts of the enemy armies and huge hailstones crashed down
onto the followers of Antichrist, throwing all into a panic of fear
and terror. The Lion of Judah was treading the grapes of wrath in
the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God and
soon the blood from his enemies was flowing as high as the bridles
of the horses for nearly 200 miles.
An angel, standing in the sunshine,
cried out with a loud voice to all fowls, "Come, and gather
yourselves together unto the supper of the great God… that you may
eat the flesh of kings, and captains and mighty men and horses and
their riders. Come and feast upon the flesh of all the wicked, both
great and small."
The day exhibited an unusual
phenomenon. At nighttime, when it should have been dark, there was
a time of twilight, from the radiant presence of the
Lord. Christ galloped His horse to the top of Mount Olivet and
dismounted. As His feet touched the earth and He stood tall and
victorious, the mountain split in half, causing the most powerful
earthquake the world had ever known. The earthquake created a great
valley which provided a way of escape for those fleeing just as the
parting of the Red Sea had provided a way of escape for the Hebrews
fleeing from Pharaoh’s Chariots. They rushed in their flight just
as those, who ran from the great earthquake in the days of King
Uziah, had done.
Prince Yeshua watched with
satisfaction as Antichrist and the False Prophet were thrown alive
into the Lake of Fire. Then an angel came down from Heaven and
grabbed hold of that Old Serpent, the devil, Satan and bound him in
chains. The angel had the key to the bottomless pit, the hollow
void in the center of the earth, and threw the bound, fallen-angel
into the pit and locked it. Satan would stay there for 1000 years,
so that he could no longer deceive those on earth during Messiah’s
Reign. *
Living waters
began to flow forth symbolizing that Yeshua was now King over all
the Earth. The land began to be renewed and no more would there be
destruction from violence or warfare. Those left alive and admitted
into the Millennial Kingdom would
now keep the Feast of Tabernacles; that has symbolized this
Millennial Time throughout the history of God’s people. Any who do
not come to this feast will be punished with plague and drought
until they learn obedience. King Yeshua will rule with a rod of
iron until all learn of His goodness and obey Him willingly.
King Yeshua was seated on the throne
of His Father, David. But before He had taken His rightful place He
had ordered one of the angels to take His faithful horse and remove
her saddle and tack. He handed the angel a garland, of silver
bells, that was engraved with the words "Holiness to the Lord"
and told the angel to put them around her neck. No more will it be
necessary to discern between the clean and the profane. All will be
equally holy.
Even horses, which were created for
battle, will now wear bells that proclaim "Holiness to The
Lord" showing that even things formerly used for violence will
now be pure.
HOLINESS WILL PREVAIL!

Today, because of all the false
religions and doctrines taught by so many false teachers and
prophets, there is just enough religion in the world to make men
hate one another, but not enough true faith to help them love one
another.
But when our King returns, He will
remedy this sinful situation and will bring the only true peace this
world will ever know.
Until that time, those of us who
know Him have the joy and comfort of His words ringing in our
hearts: "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you;
Not as the World giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27
Even so, Come, Lord Jesus!

*At
the end of the 1000 years, Satan will be released for a short time
to serve the purpose of Yahweh. For those whose hearts do not truly
love God, nor desire to obey Him, will be attracted to the devices
and deceptions of Satan, much as iron filings are attracted to a
magnet.
Once again Satan will deceive the
nations and gather them together, along with Gog and Magog for
battle. But when their armies surround Jerusalem, fire from Yahweh
will flash down and consume them. This is the final removal of all
"leaven" from the Kingdom.
Satan will then be thrown into the
Lake of Fire, where he and Antichrist and the False Prophet will be
tormented forever.
Now, eternity will resume with all
in one accord in the will of Yahweh as it was meant to be from the
very beginning. 1 Corinthians 15:28
