From Revelation 19- (This is one of my favorite pictures of Jesus Christ in the Bible. It's so clear that the Bible is saying that Jesus is, in fact, God Almighty.)
11Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 13He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 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. 16On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
.....20These two [satan and the false prophet] were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.
Today in the car, Calvin, Ike and I were talking about Jesus and what he looked like. I told them that when Jesus comes back to earth to defeat Satan, he will be on a horse and have a sword coming out of his mouth. I couldn't really remember the passage, so I told them that I think his eyes will be blazing and his hair will be shining. I told them I would look it up when we got home.
Cal asked how Jesus would defeat Satan and I answered that he would be thrown into a lake of fire.
As soon as we got to our friends' house, Ike started crying. I ran into the room and found out that Cal hit Ike with a sword. I asked Cal why and he responded, "Because I was pretending that Ike was Satan."
Then tonight while I was praying, Cal interrupted and said he wanted to pray: "Dear Lord, Why do you have a sword coming out of your mouth? What are you doing up there, Lord? Thank you that all my friends are alive and that they are not dying. And thank you that Isaac would stop messing with my face [I looked up then and saw that Ike was repeatedly slapping Cal in the face]. Amen."
