Notice the second thing, they tell us about His character; He is faithful and true and righteous. In other words, He's faithful, He fulfils what He says He'll do. Not only that, He is true to His word. He's true to his character. He never ever goes outside what He says He'll do. He's true and His righteousness, the decisions He makes are right. Now you think about why is Jesus going to do all these things. Very, very simple, you'll see it in a moment - notice the thing about His eyes. His eyes are a flaming fire. Now of course you look at it, you've got to think about this spiritually. When you see someone whose eyes are blazing, what do you know is going on inside them? There is passion! Ever seen an angry person? Whoa! Nostrils flaring, and of course they've probably got devils flaring out their eyes, but He's got something else inside. He's got this passionate, zealous love for His people, and He's about to enter and do something to make the world a different place with them, and through them, and for them.

So when His eyes are ablaze, it's because there's passion inside. Have you ever seen a person whose lost all their fire in life? Their eyes are dull, and what it's really saying is He is full of life, and passion that flows out of the heart, that's ignited with love and fire and holiness! Isn't that something else aye? Glory, that's what He's like - and not only that. They see right through you into where you are, and every little thing going on inside you. You can't hide. You get one look from Jesus and you're undone. [Laughter] It's like He took off all your clothes and there you are, and everything is there. You can see everything. You cannot hide from His gaze! His eyes go right through to the core of your soul. Today we all dress up and look pretty, but before Jesus, He looks straight through who we are.

The second thing, the next thing you notice is His head. On His head are many crowns. The word crown is that of a victor, someone who's fought a battle and triumphed - and on His head are many crowns. What you've got to realise is that is a picture that He has fought many, many battles and in every one, He has triumphed and won the victory! You want to follow someone, follow someone who won, not someone who lost. He's won the victory! He's won the victory in battles. He's skilful at war, and winning battles. You got a financial battle? He's won that. Got a marriage battle? He knows how to handle that, He's having them all the time with His bride. [Laughter] Think about that. Come on. He's having them all the time. You got a battle with people? He had many of them. He knows how to conquer battles with people. You got people rejecting you? Oh, He knows how to conquer that battle too. You're feeling depressed and down and rejected, oh oh! He knows how to deal with that.

You have some devils getting on you, like a monkey clawing into your ears? He knows how to conquer that one. I would want to follow someone who's won the battles, and so He's portrayed, oh oh! many crowns! Halleluiah, and that's why it says: when you come before Him - here's the protocol of heaven - when you come into His presence you know what you do? You take your crowns, and throw them at His feet, in other words acknowledge you got the victory, and He gets the honour. See, the picture language is to help us engage with heaven, engage with God. So this is this wonderful king, man oh man, and His clothes - notice this, His names. No one knew His name except Him. You think well what does that mean? I know His name. His name's Jesus. No, no, no. Listen. What it says, no man knew His name, this is what it's meaning. The name speaks of the nature, what a person is like. So when it says: no man knew His name, this is what it's saying: there are things about Jesus you can't even find in the Bible. Only He knows them, and He's going to make them known in the end times. You will be surprised.
