Jan 10th !⃝

The song is about the prophecies and testimonies surrounding Jesus; both those fulfilled and those to come.

"...He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth and slay the wicked with the breath of His lips" — Isaiah 11:4, a prophecy of Jesus' first coming.

Which of course, he did.

"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword." Matthew 10:34, this quote from Jesus himself describes not a literal sword, but one that represents the division of those belonging to the kingdom of Jesus, and those who do not.

"...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." — Revelation 19:15, a prophecy of Christ's second coming.

"And twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” — Matthew 27:29, an account of Jesus right before his crucifixion.

"And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, Long live king Solomon." 1 Kings 1:39, an account of King Solomon, 'David's boy' being anointed king.

Anointing was the practicing of the pouring or smearing of oil on the 'Anointed One', or 'Messiah', or 'Christ' — all synonyms.

"Mary therefore took a pound of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said, “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it. Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of my burial. For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.” — John 12:3-8, an account of the anointing of Jesus in obscurity. Though he was from the line of David, and an actual heir to the throne, his kingdom was of course that of heaven.

Its a great song!
