Revelation 2:16 NIV
Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
The sword of His mouth has two edges. It can cut in two directions. His breath can give life or give power to words of judgment. From His mouth come words of comfort and rest for those who repent. Refusing to listen will bring its own consequence.
Numbers 31:16
Behold, these caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, so the plague was among the congregation of the Lord.
2 Thessalonians 2:8-10
Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; 9 that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, 10 and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.
We are reminded again we are in the last days, for "soon" He is coming. God's time is different from our own sense of time, for our time is part of creation and is outside creation. There is a day that is "fixed", just as there was a day for Christ to be born. Just as He was predestined for resurrection.
Revelation 1:16
In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two- edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength.
Revelation 22:7
“And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book.”
Acts 17:30-s31
The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, 31 because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.”
Isaiah 11:4
but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
Ephesians 6:17
and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
Revelation 19:15
From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
