Two Edged Sword
"And out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword:
and His countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength." Rev. 1:16
While praying in tongues this morning as
Service was beginning, the Holy Spirit clearly
directed me to a dark blue paint to prepare…
then yellow. I knew at that moment that I
would be painting water, but did not see
this image as yet. The picture simply flowed
out as I painted it: the sun, shining in
brilliance, out of which proceeded a two-edged
sword. Next came the waters being parted
by the sword of light. I knew when to stop
and was astounded by the picture I saw,
recognizing it as a depiction of a verse in the
Book of Revelation. When I looked it up, I
realized that the image was in the same vision
as last week’s painting, “Eyes of Fire”:
Jesus Christ, “the Alpha and the Omega,
the First and the Last” that John saw and
wrote about in the Book of Revelation
Chapter 1. Here Jesus appears with a sharp
two-edged sword coming out of His mouth,
dividing…separating, opening. It looks
like He is splitting the waters here:
dividing soul from spirit…separating His
own, making a way. Notice that where the
sword has been that the way is dry, just
like when God divided the Red Sea, His
people crossed over on dry ground.
