RETURN OF JESUS BIBLE

The Return

by Jo Jean

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
