Now out of His mouth goes a sharp
sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of
iron. He Himself treads the winepress of
the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

The weapons of His warfare: a sharp sword (MH)

The idea isn’t that Jesus holds a sword in his
mouth like a buccaneer, or that He is “spitting swords.” This is a dramatic way
of referring to the power of His Word. “Christ conquers by the power of His
Word” (Johnson). Five times in the Book Revelation, John emphasizes that Jesus’
sword comes out of His mouth. (DG)
