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)
Deuteronomy
10:17 For the LORD your God is God of
gods and Lord of lords, the great God, might and awesome, who shows no
partiality nor takes a bribe.
Psalm
2:9 You shall break them with a rod of
iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.
