![]() I think sometimes we think we're going to march up and say, 'Well, you know Jesus, do you know how many years I served you, and how many souls I won for you, and how many sermons I preached for you?' Oh, no, no, no, no, no. The picture of Jesus here is not the picture of a pathetic individual pushed around by anybody who want to push Him around. He was in the Spirit when this enormous revelation was given to him. 'Where then are you?' He says, 'I'm in the Spirit'. And if you had gone to him that morning and had seen him sitting on a rock contemplating, you might have said to him, 'Well, John, I didn't expect to find you in this hell-hole, with all these demon possessed men. When you see Jesus you'll be almost paralyzed with fear, unless you have a glorified body and a glorified mind! Who is writing the book? This is a revelation to a man on an island-on a devil's island-the worst place, the gathering of the scum of the Earth. Or the new song that's out, 'shake hands with Jesus'-listen, when you see Jesus you're not going up and say, 'Hey, buddy, I'm glad you died for me'. And when I hear people singing, you know, 'put your hand in the hand of him that walks on the water'-forget it. In the final tribunal-there is no tribunal after this-this is finish. He's the Judge of judges in the Court of courts. So, we're going to see the King of Kings. The Apostle Paul got a picture of Jesus not with a lamb in His arms, not like the stained glass windows in our so-called cathedrals, where Jesus looks pathetically feminine! He sees Jesus and he says, here He is, He is the King immortal, invisible, the only wise God, to whom be praise and glory forever. Two people at least have said to me this week 'There is no justice in the earth today!'-maybe there isn't, but I hang on a word that says "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" (Gen. I believe the Church of Jesus Christ needs a new revelation of the majesty of God! This is what? This is the King of kings and He's the Judge of judges and He's the Tribunal of tribunals! And there's no court of appeal after it the verdict is final. And they've given us pictures of Jesus, but I'll tell you what: it's a very different picture in the word of God. And there are some dreadful pictures I think, that have been given by the "great masters" so-called. And the Chinese have an interpretation of Christ through their artists. Well, I don't think that was a picture of Jesus. He's got lovely blond hair and bright blue eyes and a lovely flaxen beard. Beachcroft or somebody painted a picture of Christ in Australia. What will He be like? In Australia they show me the picture that they have. At the voice of the Son of God they're all going to rise and face the eternal Judge. But there's a picture I've only ever seen once and it was so grotesque I didn't look a second time. You see him, sometimes, on the back of an animal riding into Jerusalem. I do not have any pictures of Christ in my home, because I don't think you should make any likeness, any graven image.
