horse,  as  the  faithful  and  true,  judging  and  making  war  in
righteousness,  with  eyes  as  a  flame  of  fire,  and  many  crowns
upon  His  head,  and  a  vesture  dipped  in  blood,  followed  by
the  armies  of  heaven,  and  with  the  sharp  two-edged  sword
of  His  written  revelations  going  out  of  His  mouth,  that
with  it  He  may  smite  the  nations,  and  rule  them  with  a
rod  of  iron,  and  tread  them  in  the  wine-press  of  the  fierce-
ness and  wrath  of  Almighty  God.  And  in  this  still  pending
conflict,  in  which  the  enemies  of  His  kingdom  shall  look  so
formidable  because  of  their  numbers,  rank,  resources,  and
power,  and  because  of  the  earthly  wisdom,  the  superstition,
the  spiritual  delusions,  the  craft  and  the  malignity,  that  are
combined  against  Him,  the  name  by  which  He  is  called
and  known  in  the  army  of  the  faithful  who  follow  Him  is
that  of  "  THE  Word  of  God."  In  that  name  He  shall  by
His  crushing  victories  justify  the  additional  name  that  is
seen  written  on  His  vesture  and  thigh,  "  King  of  kings,
and  Lord  of  lords."  ^

II.  The  divinity  of  Christ  and  His  relations  within  the
Godhead  are  set  forth  in  His  title  of  the  Son  of  God,  and
in  the  characteristics  of  His  Sonship  as  the  only-legotte.n  Son;
the  only-begotten  Son,  who  is  in  the  bosom  of  the  Father ;
His  "  beloved  Son ; "  and  His  "  dear  Son."

I.  He  is  "the  Son  of  God,"  and  the  most  impressive
manifestations  and  evidences  of  His  divine  perfections  and
glory  are  associated  with  His  name  as  the  Son  of  God.
