And Darkness cannot over Come it

Psalm 110:1-2

“The Lord says to my Lord:  “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.”   The Lord sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter.   Rule in the midst of your enemies!”

God the Father allowed us the privilege of listening to a conversation between the Father and His only Son, Jesus the Christ. Have you wondered why God the Father let us know about it in Psalm 110 conversation.  Turn with me to Hebrews 1:2-5, but in these last days, he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.  He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”?   The message from the Father is giving us understanding not to put our trust in anyone, but Jesus, not angels or man, both are created beings.  If your religion has taught unwise things about angels look at Revelation 19:9-10, and verse 10 is key to recall, “Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

When Jesus returns to earth, the Scripture states clearly, the following; “Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness, he judges and makes war.  His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself.  He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God.  And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses.  From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.  On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Jesus has been given many names in the Scriptures; I want to focus on { The Word of God}.  In the Gospel, according to John in chapter one and verses 1-5, we find the following; “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God.  All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
