One-Year Bible Notes and Daily Bible Reading
December 28
At the front of heaven’s army, in his proper place, is the leader of that army. This leader does not need to hide among the other soldiers for fear of his enemies. All attention is upon him as he rides forward.
In the description, John gives a series of names to this great champion. The first of these names is Loyal and True. That describes his perfect character. He is the judge and he is making war; but he does these things in perfect goodness. Nobody can persuade him to do anything that is not completely right. His judgements are absolutely correct. He will not stop his war until he has defeated every wicked enemy. That is the real purpose of a judge, and that is the only proper reason for war: to defeat what is evil.
Zechariah 12:1-13:9
Revelation 19:1-21
Psalm 147:1-20
Proverbs 31:1-7

New Testament: Revelation 19:1-21
On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. ~ Revelation 19:16
It is necessary to approach a great ruler in a humble manner. At the time of the Bible, people expressed their humble attitudes by humble actions. For example, they knelt down to give honour to a great ruler (Philippians 2:10).
Perhaps that is why Christ’s great title of honour is on his thigh (his upper leg). It is in a low position, so that people in a low position can read it. Perhaps the title appears on the clothes that cover his thigh. That part of his clothes would hang down by his side, as he rode his horse. Then everyone would see this declaration of his royal authority.
The title itself astonishes us. There are many rulers in this world, and many masters. Many people claim authority over other people. The same is true in the spirit world. There are many spirits that claim to have great authority (Luke 4:5-6; Ephesians 6:12). However, Christ’s authority is greater than them all. His title declares him to be ‘King of kings and Lord (master) of lords’. As King of kings, he has authority over every other king and ruler. As Lord of lords, he has authority over every master and every lord. Nobody can claim equal rank to him; nobody can stand against him.
God the Father has given this great authority to Christ. Philippians 2:6-11 explains the reason. It is because Christ, God’s Son, was so humble. Christ obeyed God the Father so completely that he (Christ) accepted death upon the cross, a shameful death. Christ did it so that God could forgive his people’s evil deeds. As Christ accepted the greatest shame, so God the Father is giving Christ the greatest honour. That will bring the greatest honour to God the Father, as 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 and Philippians 2:11 explain. ~ From: usefulbible.com

You Need to Know the Bible for Yourself
Everybody needs to know what the Bible really says: what it says about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, salvation and eternity, etc. Don’t depend on what a church or some famous preacher tells you. If you depend on Hollywood, the History Channel, or a magazine for the most important information you will ever need to know. You may end up lost forever not knowing what God has written down for you. He wants you to spend eternity with Him.
You need to know Jesus before you can be saved. The bible is all about who Jesus is and what He has done for you. He has a gift for you and it is completely free. But if you don’t know Him, you will not be in the Kingdom of God with Jesus who gave His very life for you.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ ~ Matthew 7:21-23
There is an absurd amount of very bad information out in the world today about the Bible. You will only know the truth if you study the bible for yourself. And if you study the bible and ask The Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the truth He will and it will change your life forever.
