In a beautiful depiction of the King and his Bride (Christ and His Church) King Jesus is described as ruling with a sword and arrows. The arrows pierce the hearts of the King’s enemies for the protection of the people He rules. The sword is girded as He majestically rides into battle for His Church. He rides prosperously, successfully, for the cause of truth, meekness and righteousness. He overcomes the enemies with great victories.
Our Lord crushes with the Word of God; Jesus simply but powerfully speaks with the words from His gracious lips. First, he speaks Truth to handily dispense the Lie and the daily lies coming from the darts of the Evil One. The Truth: Jesus loves you and forever forgives.
Second, he rules in Meekness and humble, suffering service to smash Pride and Self spawned by crouching Sin, as it attempts to elevate self over God and others to exert control. The Meekness: Jesus died for all on the cross.
Third, he reigns in Righteousness establishing order and security in the daily affairs of life in place of Chaos and Confusion, with which the Evil One has been destroying souls since the Fall. The Righteousness: Jesus is risen and ascended and sits.
