December 13

Introduction

Today’s reading depicts two visions; the first is Christ’s return as a military leader; the second is a scene of victory in which God’s enemies are destroyed.

Scripture Reading 

Revelation 19:11-21

Today’s Key Verse: Revelation 19:16

On his robe and on his thigh was written the name: “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Reflect

Reread verses 11-16. What is the name of the rider? Why is he so named? How is he described?

What is the significance of the other names that appear in these verses? Verses 17-21 depict the end of a battle in which “the beast” and “the false prophet” and their followers are defeated. How do you interpret what is described here?

Pray

Sovereign God, you are victorious and universal is your reign. You are King of kings and Lord of lords. Help me to pursue justice and to serve you faithfully. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those serving in the armed forces
