Revelation 19:11-16

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called ^sFaithful and ^tTrue, 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. ¹⁴ And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. ¹⁵ 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 ^ghe treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. ¹⁶ And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Judges 5

Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,

²  Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel,

When the people willingly offered themselves.

³  Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes;

I, even I, will sing unto the Lord;

I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.

⁴  Lord, When thou wentest out of Seir,

When thou marchedst out of the field of Edom,

The earth trembled, and the heavens dropped,

The clouds also dropped water.

⁵  The mountains melted from before the Lord,

Even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel.

⁶  In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath,

In the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied,

And the travellers walked through byways.

⁷  The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel,

Until that I Deborah arose,

That I arose a mother in Israel.

⁸  They chose new gods;

Then was war in the gates:

Was there a shield or spear seen

Among forty thousand in Israel?

⁹  My heart is toward the governors of Israel,

That offered themselves willingly among the people.

Bless ye the Lord.

¹⁰  Speak, ye that ride on white asses,

Ye that sit in judgment,

And walk by the way.

¹¹  They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water,

There shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord,

Even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel:

Then shall the people of the Lord go down to the gates.

¹²  Awake, awake, Deborah:

Awake, awake, utter a song:

Arise, Barak,

And lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.

¹³  Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people:

The Lord made me have dominion over the mighty.

¹⁴  Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek;

After thee, Benjamin, among thy people;

Out of Machir came down governors,

And out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.

¹⁵  And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah;

Even Issachar, and also Barak:

He was sent on foot into the valley.

For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.

¹⁶  Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds,

To hear the bleatings of the flocks?

For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

¹⁷  Gilead abode beyond Jordan:

And why did Dan remain in ships?

Asher continued on the sea shore,

And abode in his breaches.

¹⁸  Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death

In the high places of the field.

¹⁹  The kings came and fought,

Then fought the kings of Canaan

In Taanach by the waters of Megiddo;

They took no gain of money.

²⁰  They fought from heaven;

The stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

²¹  The river of Kishon swept them away,

That ancient river, the river Kishon.

O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.

²²  Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings,

The pransings of their mighty ones.

²³  Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord,

Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof;

Because they came not to the help of the Lord,

To the help of the Lord against the mighty.

²⁴  Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be,

Blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

²⁵  He asked water, and she gave him milk;

She brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

²⁶  She put her hand to the nail,

And her right hand to the workmen’s hammer;

And with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head,

When she had pierced and stricken through his temples.

²⁷  At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down:

At her feet he bowed, he fell:

Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.

²⁸  The mother of Sisera looked out at a window,

And cried through the lattice,

Why is his chariot so long in coming?

Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?

²⁹  Her wise ladies answered her,

Yea, she returned answer to herself,

³⁰  Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey;

To every man a damsel or two;

To Sisera a prey of divers colours,

A prey of divers colours of needlework,

Of divers colours of needlework on both sides,

Meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?

³¹  So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord:

But let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might.

And the land had rest forty years.

And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.

2 Samuel 22:2-14

And he said,

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

³  The God of my rock; in him will I trust:

He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge,

My saviour; thou savest me from violence.

⁴  I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised:

So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

⁵  When the waves of death compassed me,

The floods of ungodly men made me afraid;

⁶  The sorrows of hell compassed me about;

The snares of death prevented me;

⁷  In my distress I called upon the Lord,

And cried to my God:

And he did hear my voice out of his temple,

And my cry did enter into his ears.

⁸  Then the earth shook and trembled;

The foundations of heaven moved

And shook, because he was wroth.

⁹  There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,

And fire out of his mouth devoured:

Coals were kindled by it.

¹⁰  He bowed the heavens also, and came down;

And darkness was under his feet.

¹¹  And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly:

And he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

¹²  And he made darkness pavilions round about him,

Dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

¹³  Through the brightness before him

Were coals of fire kindled.

¹⁴  The Lord thundered from heaven,

And the most High uttered his voice.

Ezekiel 1-2

Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. ² In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity, ³ The word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel ^fthe priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.

⁴ And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof ^las the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. ⁵ Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. ⁶ And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. ⁷ And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. ⁸ And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. ^9 tTheir wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. ¹⁰ As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. ¹¹ Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. ¹² And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went. ¹³ As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. ¹⁴ And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

¹⁵ Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. ¹⁶ The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. ¹⁷ When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. ¹⁸ As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. ¹⁹ And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. ²⁰ Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. ²¹ When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. ²² And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. ²³ And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. ²⁴ And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as ^vthe voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. ²⁵ And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.

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. ²⁸ As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.

2 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. ² And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and ^cset me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. ³ And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day. ⁴ For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God. ⁵ And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for ^gthey are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. ⁶ And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though ^kbriers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. ⁷ And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. ⁸ But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.

⁹ And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein; ¹⁰ And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

Daniel 7:13-14

I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like ^rthe Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. ¹⁴ And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
