The Antichrist—"War I Give unto You" 137

And the Antichrist will regard this as his chance to finish
them off. Another tyrant with another solution to the
Jewish problem!
The Antichrist will gather a tremendous army, such as
the world has never imagined. Revelation 16:13-14,16
chronicles the mobilization of a virtual world army. The
Antichrist may possibly realize that he is embarking on a
traditionally hazardous project in making holy war on the
Jews. In any case, he assembles the vast might of "the
kings ... of the world," and he gathers them together in
that quiet, level plain called Armageddon.
Among the personalities attending that great battle is
Jesus Christ.
But not the meek and mild Jesus as he is so often
characterized. This time the Lord comes for battle:
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. 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. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped
in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And
the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white
horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean (Rev 19:11-
14).
Compare the following description with the Man who
wore a crown of thorns and bore His own cross under the
whip to Calvary:

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with
it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with
a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierce-
ness and wrath of the Almighty God (Rev 19:15).
