Meditation

Heaven opens to make way for the rider called Faithful and True (Revelation 19:11) Scripture depicts the rider as the messiah, with many royal diadems. He is also called the Word of God, also King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 19:13,16). The Second Coming describes a time when Messiah purges evil in order to set up the kingdom of heaven on earth.
