I saw the Lord, and with Him were two angels.
And the Lord took a sword.
And He chopped the heads off three cartel leaders.
And another sat on the floor and said to the Lord, “You don’t realize the war you just started.”
The Message
Hear now, you who have ears that were purchased by fire, and eyes that were opened by grief.
For there are words meant for the crowd— and there are words meant for the called.
I speak now in the manner of a riddle, so that the goats will pass it by, but the sheep will feel the Shepherd’s shadow in the sentence.
Riddle of the Coming One
Who is He that walks with thunder for sandals, and silence for His robe?
Who is He that carries a sword, yet does not sharpen it with man’s hands?
Who is He that speaks peace to the broken, but speaks war to the proud?
Who is He that heals with one hand, and judges with the other?
Who is He that does not consult nations, but causes nations to tremble?
The Sword That Is Not Made of Iron
It is not a sword of metal, but a sword of truth.
It does not cut skin first— it cuts lies.
It does not seek the throat first— it seeks the heart.
It enters kingdoms through the mouth of God, and topples thrones built on blood.
Reference: Deuteronomy 32 (Song of Moses)
The Coming That Many Do Not Understand
Do you still believe the Christ comes only as gentle rain? Yes—He comes as rain.
But do you not know also: He comes as lightning.
For He is not divided. Mercy is in Him— and Judgment is in Him.
“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.”
Reference:
Matthew 10:34
The War They Think They Started
And the wicked will say: “You don’t realize the war you started.”
But the Lord answers not with panic. He answers with purpose.
The war did not start when God lifted His sword— the war started when evil lifted its hands against the innocent.
When blood became currency. When women became merchandise. When children became shipments. When fear became law.
And now the Lord rises.
A Word for the Servants
We do not seek vengeance ourselves. We do not sharpen our own sword against flesh. We warn, we pray, we preach, we endure— and we let the Judge be Judge.
Reference: Romans 12:19
The Hidden Meaning
Three heads fell in the vision— not because God loves violence, but because God hates wickedness.
And the one who sat on the floor still breathing— was a sign.
A sign that evil will always boast before it collapses. A sign that devils speak proud before they are chained. A sign that rebellion mocks— until it meets the God it cannot intimidate.
The Closing Riddle
If the Lord is sharpening His sword, why do you still pretend your sin is safe?
If the Lord is stepping toward the wicked, why do you still shake hands with darkness?
If the Lord is coming, why do you still love the world that crucified Him?
Who can stand when holiness walks in? Who can hide when light arrives?
Blessed is the one who repents before the trumpet, and bows before the blade.
Final Charge
I was commanded to teach: He is coming. Not with a vote. Not with a debate. Not with permission.
To heal the lovers of truth. To gather the lost that hear His voice. To break the proud. To repay the wicked. To cleanse the land. To make atonement for His people.
