III . JESUS CHRIST WILL APPEAR AND END THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON .
r ; y
Only Jesus Christ will be able to end the Battle of Armageddon . If He did not come back to end the war , then everyone would be annihilated ( Matthew 24:21-22 ). The Bible says that just as Christ prepares to return , the world will shudder again under the weight of God ' s incredible judgments ( Revelation 16:17-21 ). But at just the right moment Christ will return to this earth ( Acts 3:19-21 ) just as He predicted in Matthew 24:30 . The prophet John also saw a vision of the Second Coming of Christ . He describes for us this truly incredible moment in history . He said :

11 ) 1 saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse , whose rider is called Faithful and True . With justice he judges and makes war . 12 ) His eyes are like blazing fire , and on his head are many crowns . He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself . 13 ) He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood , and his name is the Word of God . 14 ) The armies of heaven were following him , riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen , white and clean . 15 ) Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations . `He will rule them with an iron scepter . ' He treads the winepress of
the fury of the wrath of God Almighty .
