Host: Pastor Kendall LankfordText: Revelation 1:12–20🔥 EPISODE SUMMARYIn this episode, Pastor Kendall Lankford brings our study of Revelation 1 to a close by unveiling Christ as both High Priest and Warrior-King. Far from a distant riddle, John’s first vision reveals a risen Christ who tends His Church with priestly care and tramples His enemies with kingly judgment.From His blazing eyes to His bronze feet, from His thundering voice to the sword of His mouth, this is no sentimental portrait—it is the glory of the Warrior-Priest-King who reigns now and forever. And for John’s hearers in the first century, this vision meant hope amid persecution. For us, it means courage, dominion, and joy in the unshakable Kingdom Christ has already inaugurated.🧨 WHAT YOU’LL HEARWhy Revelation was meant for John’s generation—and what that means for usHow Christ appears as the true High Priest, tending His lampstandsWhy His eyes, feet, voice, sword, and face are drawn from Old Testament imageryHow AD 70 fulfilled Jesus’ warnings and launched the new covenant eraWhy the vision is comfort for the Church and terror for her enemiesHow this Warrior-Priest-King still steadies His people today📚 KEY SCRIPTURESRevelation 1:12–20 – The vision of the risen ChristDaniel 7:9–14 – The Ancient of Days and the Son of ManHebrews 9:11–12 – Christ as the eternal High PriestMatthew 23 – Covenant curses on apostate IsraelLeviticus 26; Deuteronomy 28 – The covenant curses fulfilled📣 BEST QUOTE FROM THE SHOW“The same Christ who felled John to the ground also touched him with tender strength.
