In the Book of Revelation
Jesus will be revealed from heaven in blazing fire with an angelic army
In the Book of Maccabees
And angelic army charges across the sky for 40 days and 40 nights
In Vedic Texts
Visions of a heavenly cavalry with gold armor set themselves in battle array
Riders are armed with spears and swords are drawn
In 1 Chronicles 21:16
An angel stood in heaven with a drawn sword
Josephus recounts that a star hung over Jerusalem like a sword
In Babylon hymns and prayers were addressed to the god Nergal
Prince of battle who shines with terror
Whose face is fire
Great sword god and raging flame god
Bring us victory
Oh king of battle
The Roman god Mars was pictured with a sword
Isaiah says that Jehovah will war in heaven with his sword
The Shakinah of Jehovah is the Messiah in all his glory
He dwelt in the holy of holies in the temple
Then alighted on the Mount of Olives
The god Ares was symbolized with a scimitar of iron
It was the outstretched arm of the Lord
There fell with darting flame and blinding flash
A thunderbolt with an agonizing crash
Lightning in the far heavens from on high
Brought fear and shuddering to a cloudless sky
The Saxon Chronicles describe a mighty beam with the likeness of fire
A star with a train of light
Jesus took the identity of Mars
Of the star with a beam of light!
