He is unsearchable, there's so much to be known about Him. Not only that, He is also known as the word of God, because everything He does is in harmony with the word of God. He never departs from the word of God. That's why it says: in the beginning was the word, the word was with God, the word was God. His life shows what it means to live out the written word of God. His name is the word of God. What else is He called? The king of kings. He's the sovereign ruler over everyone. You met a king? He's the king over them. You think someone's important? He's over them. You think someone's got some power? He's over them and more powerful. He's the king of kings, and like to repeat it, the Lord of Lords, so He's over the whole deal. You've got understand, this is the One that we are working with. This is the One we are connected. This is the One who loves us.

It says here about His army. Oh, look at His armies - armies, more than one. There's an army in heaven, angelic army. There's an army on earth, saints of the living God, His armies. Oh I love that, and His armies. Let's see if I can find it, I'm getting excited here. The armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. So it tells how they're clothed. It says first of all, they're in heaven, in other words they have learnt these are people who are mobilised to flow together for a military purpose of conquest, to advance a kingdom in the earth. They are in heaven. That means that they are connected by the Holy Ghost. You are already connected to heaven, and all you have to do is learn how to enter and stay in that realm of the spirit, and you are part of the army of God in heaven, following this conquering king, who wants to advance His kingdom through the world. It's an absolutely amazing picture - and they're clothed in fine linen, which the Bible tells us is the righteous acts.

It is the right doing of the saints. White speaks of the glory of God, the life and nature of God, clean and white, white and clean. Clean means purity, so now we see very clearly that Jesus is not just coming alone, He's coming, and He has mobilised people with a certain purpose, and this is what the purpose is: take over the earth. Take over the earth. We're not to get out of it, and abandon it, we're to transform it, but at this stage we're transforming it by the proclaiming of the gospel. When He comes, it'll be with the raw power of God as well as the gospel, and oh my, when the raw power of God comes, you want to read your Bible and find out what happens to people who stand in the way - not good. You know the God of the Old Testament is still our God and when people stood in His way, there's some horrible things happen. Angel Lord come on one army, and a couple of hundred thousand died overnight; came on another couple of guys, and fire came from heaven on them. You see God is not limited in His power. Just because He doesn't use it, doesn't mean He doesn't have it, and it doesn't mean He won't hold back forever. This is exciting.

You don't have to look at the world and say oh, it's so bad, it's getting worse. Oh my, read the Book of Revelation, who we are following and what He is like and what He will do. Look at what it says. It says His clothes, His robe. His robe was dipped in blood. He was clothed in a robe dipped in blood. Now I'm not too sure, didn't say whether it's His blood or not, so probably it's like this. If you are a - I guess - you're writing there to a group of people who are used to military combat, where soldiers carried shields and swords, and they got into face to face, close quarter combat. Now if you ever see someone come back from that kind of battle, they are covered in blood, someone else's blood, so to me it just seems to speak very, very clearly that He engages at close quarters. He's not going to do this from a distance. He will engage in close quarters in addressing issues in the earth. He will be engaged, personally. He'll also be engaged through His body.
