PART TWO These
proclamations of Jacob refer to not only Christ’s presentation to the Jews in
the early first century but to the end of human history when Christ returns to
rule from Jerusalem seizing the kingdoms of the earth, including what is left
of America, from Satan, who rules them now through the lowest sort of
individual. Shiloh, here meaning, according to Strong’s, “He whose it is or
tranquility,” a reference to the Messiah’s coming to rule the earth.
Isaiah 63:1 ¶
Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this
that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I
that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 2
Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that
treadeth in the winefat? 3 I have
trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I
will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood
shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. 4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart,
and the year of my redeemed is come. 5
And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was
none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury,
it upheld me. 6 And I will tread down
the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down
their strength to the earth.
Daniel 4:17
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word
of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High
ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth
up over it the basest of men.
Luke 4:5 And
the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the
kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6
And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the
glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give
it. 7 If thou therefore wilt worship me,
all shall be thine. 8 And Jesus answered
and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt
worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
2Corinthians 4:4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which
believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image
of God, should shine unto them.
Revelation 11:15
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven,
saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of
his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 19:13
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is
called The Word of God.
You cannot
separate the return of Christ to the earth from His rule on earth and the
destruction of the world system.
Verse 12 is a
short description of Christ’s frightening appearance as He returns to take
control. Eyes that are red like wine and teeth white as milk. Here is another
description.
Ezekiel 1: 26
¶ And above the firmament that was over
their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire
stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance
of a man above upon it. 27 And I saw as
the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the
appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even
downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round
about.
…and another.
Revelation 1:13
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man,
clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden
girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were
white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as
if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and
out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the
sun shineth in his strength.
…and yet another.
Revelation 19:11 ¶
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon
him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make
war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of
fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man
knew, but he himself. 13 And he was
clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Verse 12, according to
some commentators like Gill, refers to abundance and fruitfulness, the
blessings of joy and plenty.
