"Now I saw heaven opened"

Text: Revelation 19:11

THE VISION OF THE LORD ON A WHITE HORSE

When the Lord Jesus was on earth, He walked throughout the land of Israel. On one special occasion, He rode into Jerusalem on the foal of an ass. In this special vision given to John, the Lord Jesus sat on a white horse!

“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse.
And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True,
and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
His eyes were like a flame of fire,
and on His head were many crowns.
He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.
He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood,
and His name is called The Word of God.”
