Revelation 19:16
On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords.
On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords.
That depends.
What you might do is fall down like your dead.
That depends on what He does, as He has all authority in heaven and earth
John fell at His feet as though dead. Likely due to the overwhelming appearance Christ shows to him.
I suppose John fainted!
Rev 1
12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying [i]to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of [j]Hades and of Death. 19 [k]Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this. 20 The [l]mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the [m]angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands [n]which you saw are the seven churches.
Jesus revealed His divinity for a moment as He spoke the word and look how they reacted.
Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane
18 When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered. 2 And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with His disciples. 3 Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”5 They answered Him, “Jesus [a]of Nazareth.”
Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. 6 Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Then He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?”
And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,” 9 that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, “Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.”
10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?”

I noticed that before! When Jesus said, I am He...they felt something! Something...powerful, and scary and they were compelled backwards. Whoa.
I know, that is really awesome there, and you can feel it just reading it, I love it!

He is our brother and our friend but i don't think he's a spouse. God said in Jeremiah 3:14 “Return, faithless people,” declares the Lord, “for I am your husband. addressing His people who had gone astray. If Jesus said he was our husband/spouse please will you provide bible backup.
There are kings of the Gentiles though
Luke 22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
And of the LORD its said,

O ye kings be now instructed
Psalm 2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
And even as Jesus has received of his Father he says
Rev 2:26-27 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
The King of kings, and on his heads were many crowns

Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Luke 22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

You really need to listen to Ronald on this... when Jesus returns, then His literal Kingdom will manifest over ALL nations upon this earth, and He will reign over them ALL. But maybe you've been wrongly taught to treat the 'kingdom of Israel' as something separate from Christianity, which is what pre-trib rapture dispensationalist churches wrongly teach.
There's not going to be a separate kingdom of Israel and a separate Church when Jesus returns. Both believing Israelites and believing Gentiles, together, will make up His future Kingdom. And... there will be Gentile priests and kings also under Lord Jesus's Kingdom of the future. God originally established the nations, and they will still exist, making up His future Kingdom on earth. Restored Israel will simply be the center of it.
This might be a bit embarrassing to you, but that you didn't know (or forgot) this verse is in the Bible is an indictment on fast food theology students. I will quote the verses just in Rev 19 to provide your bible backup.
7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.
8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)
9 Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”
By the way, the Jeremiah 3.14 is a reference to the Father as the husband of the nation of Israel.
Wife is here
Ephes 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Ephes 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Husband here
2 Cr 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband,
that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

I'm not at all embarrassed. And I didn't forget that verse. But it is the Church who is the bride not individuals and even men are included in that. What do men think about being a bride?
That's what I said.

I was resisting asking the OP how he looked in a bridal gown. I now officially give in to temptation.

Thinking back on all those threads (by men, of course) concerning those verses requiring wives to be (and complaining about them not being) submissive to their husbands...
It's now us who are called to be submissive to Christ, and now it's Christ who loves us and was willing to lay down His life for us.
