Lift Up Your Eyes!

Lift up your eyes to see the full picture. Open your ears to hear the end of the story. It is His story!

See the Son of Man riding on a donkey and the foal of a donkey.

Lift up your eyes to behold the Rider of the white horse, with the armies of heaven following Him on white horses!

See the Savior on the cross, wounded and bruised, without form or comeliness.

Lift up your eyes and behold the judge, seated on the right hand of the throne of God!

See the sacrificial Lamb, rejected, despised and mocked by men.

Lift up your eyes to behold the Lamb that was slain, exalted, honored and worshiped by the hosts of heaven!

See the One Whose side was pierced.

Lift up your eyes to see the glorious bride of the Lamb, taken from His bosom, His side that was pierced!

See His life-blood flowing down Calvary Mountain.

Lift up your eyes to behold the red carpet rolled out to the nations in preparation of the arrival of the great King!

See the sign over the cross 'The 'King of the Jews'

Lift up your eyes and behold the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.Revelation 19:11-16 (NKJV)

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11 (NKJV)

Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.” Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”Revelation 5:8-12 (NKJV)

Lift up your heads to the coming KingBow before Him, and adore Him, singTo His majesty, let your praises bePure and holy, giving gloryTo the King of Kings!
