His reign shall therefore be ushered in with judgments on the apostates ( Psalms 2:9-12 ; Luke 18:8 ; Revelation 2:27 ). rod of . . . mouth —condemning sentences which proceed from His mouth against the wicked ( Revelation 1:16 ; Revelation 2:16 ; Revelation 19:15 ; Revelation 19:21 ). breath of . . . lips —his judicial decisions ( Isaiah 30:28 ; Job 15:30 ; Revelation 19:20 ; Revelation 20:9-12 ). He as the Word of God ( Revelation 19:13-15 ) comes to strike that blow which shall decide His claim to the kingdom, previously usurped by Satan, and "the beast" to whom Satan delegates his power.
