Exegesis and Exposition of Zephaniah 3 1
Revelation 19:13 He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. (NASB95)
The sixth description of Christ is that “He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood,” which anticipates the defeat of His enemies (See Isaiah 63:1-6).
The seventh description of our Lord is that “His name is called the Word of God,” which refers to the fact that He is the Word of God incarnate.
Revelation 19:14 And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. (NASB95)
This verse presents the eighth description of Christ at His Second Advent.
The armies following Christ are composed of two groups: (1) Elect angels (Matthew 13:41; 16:27; 24:30-31; Mark 8:38; Luke 9:26; 2 Thessalonians 1:7) (2) Overcomers from the church age (Revelation 19:1-8, 14). These “overcomers” from the church age are “clothed in fine linen,” which Revelation 19:8 describes as “the righteous acts of the saints.”
Revelation 19:15 From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. (NASB95)
The ninth description of Christ when He comes back at His Second Advent is that “from His mouth comes a sharp sword so that with it He may strike down the nations,” which speaks of the fact that Christ will remove all His enemies from the earth.
The tenth description “He will rule them with a rod of iron” refers to Christ wielding absolute governmental authority over the entire earth during His millennial reign and will require all men to conform to His righteous and just standards and that He will not tolerate lawlessness or injustices. This description speaks of Christ acting the part of a shepherd by destroying the enemies of the sheep.
The eleventh description of Christ at His Second Advent is that “He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty,” which speak of a harvest of judgment that is deliberate and continuous until it is complete and demonstrates how much God hates sin and is an expression of God’s holiness.
