FireSpeaks Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Q3. (Matthew 26:53) Why did Jesus not call on the heavenly host in the Garden of Gethsemane? What happens when does he does call on the heavenly hosts? (Revelation 19:11-16) Had our savior called the host of heaven into battle there would have been no salvation. We are saved by the blood of the lamb, and it was this most holy sacrifice that was needed to for our redemption and reconciliation back to the Father. It was not an issue of military might, nor strategic planning, but and issue of obedience to the will of God. The bible tell that Jesus Christ was obedient even unto death. When he does call the host of Heaven we are told that he will in righteousness he will judge the world and wage war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Q3. (Matthew 26:53) Why did Jesus not call on the heavenly host in the Garden of Gethsemane? What happens when does he does call on the heavenly hosts? (Revelation 19:11-16) Jesus didn't call on the heavenly hosts in the garden of Gethsemane because He had to and wanted to go through the crucifixion because His blood would save us. If He had called for help we would be lost forever. When He does call on the heavenly hosts, they are all there following Him into battle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha'RD Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Q3. (Matthew 26:53) Why did Jesus not call on the heavenly host in the Garden of Gethsemane? What happens when does he does call on the heavenly hosts? (Revelation 19:11-16) Jesus didn't pray to the Father to send the heavenly host in the Garden of Gethsemane, because He knew that He had to fulfill scripture, which was to go to calvary where he would bare the sins of the world, and drink the cup of God's wrath which was intended for us for we all have sinned and come short and God is Sovereign and Just and only our Lord and Savior who was perfect could redeem us from the wrath and destruction of the Father, because of our sinful state that He could not look upon. Thank you Jesus!!! When Jesus does call the heavenly hosts as we see in the book of Revelation on the Lord's Day, we know that the nations shall be destroyed and that the Word of God shall smite all those against the Father's will, for He comes Victorious to reign with the fierceness and wrath of the Almighty God which can not be quenched...

Dolla Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Jesus did not call on the heavenly host in the garden because the Scriptures had to be fulfilled and He had to go to the cross for the salvation of the world. Jesus will call on the heavenly hosts when He will come as the judge and they will follow Him proclaiming He is the King of kings and Lord of lords.

Robyn Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Jesus didn't call on the heavenly hosts because he had to fight this one alone. He had to give His righteousness for our unrighteousness, to bring us to God. When Jesus calls on the heavenly host sin will be destroyed forever and satan will be defeated. All will see the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. Clearly Jesus Christ the Commander will be victorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinderella Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Jesus knew that all this was part of the plan for His death. He knew that the course of action had to take place. Jesus knew that there was a plan that had been put into action from the beginning of time. He could not stop what was happening and if He did then we would not be redeemed on the cross. The angels would have come and taken Him down from the cross and tended to His wounds. They would have stopped the course of action that His Father had sent Him down to accomplish this great and final step that He was taking. we would not have been set free and raised in death with Jesus.

Marloes Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Q3. (Matthew 26:53) Why did Jesus not call on the heavenly host in the Garden of Gethsemane? What happens when does he does call on the heavenly hosts? (Revelation 19:11-16) Jesus did not call for the angels because He wanted to die. He had to die to prove the scriptures (vs. 54) and to secure His promise, He had to die in order to rise and conquer death. When Christ will say so, all the angels will follow Him because He is their king and marshal. In these verses from Revelation, they will follow Him like a cavalry on white horses.

humblesinner Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Names of God: Lesson 2 Q3. (Matthew 26:53) Why did Jesus not call on the heavenly host in the Garden of Gethsemane? What happens when he does call on the heavenly hosts? (Revelation 19:11-16) In answer to the first question, so as not to confuse with words of my own, I would simply state that Jesus did not call upon the heavenly host in Gethsemane because He knew that He had to fulfill the Scripture! Our Messiah knew that He had to die for our sins on the cross and He fulfilled the Prophesy in every way. The only possible way for us to know God Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trusting God Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Jesus had to fight this battle alone. As the Righteous Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, Jesus had to die for our sin to bring us to God. According to Revelation 19:11-16, when Jesus does call on the heavenly hosts, Jesus as the Commander, is Jesus Christ the Victor. He leads the army into victory.

Guest Windy Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Q3. (Matthew 26:53) Why did Jesus not call on the heavenly host in the Garden of Gethsemane? What happens when does he does call on the heavenly hosts? (Revelation 19:11-16) Jesus knew, what would have to take place, for Him to have victory. He knew what God the Father had planned. And He knew, He had to carry those plans out. If He called down the heavenly host, in Gethsemane, it would change things. It had to be done the Father's way. How else would we have salvation? Revelation 19:11-16 The heavens opened and Jesus appeared. Only this time not as the Lamb but as the Warrior. On His robe is written the title, King of all kings and Lord of all lords. Jesus came the first time as a lamb to be sacrifice for sin, when He returns He will be a conqueror and King to execute judgment, and to set up His Kingdom. He is our Advocate, He is Almighty God, Wonderful Counselor, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He will defeat the enemy and cast Satan into hell for eternity. He will be the Supreme Ruler, forever and ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens when does he does call on the heavenly hosts? (Revelation 19:11-16) [/quote If Jesus had called on the heavenly host in the garden of Gethsemane, he would have escaped the cross, but because of His great Love for us, he chose not to. In His obedience to His Father, he died and innocent death so that we can have a right standing before God. In that he disarmed the enemy and made a public display of them. When He comes back as the Commander of the Heavenly hosts, it will be as the King of king and the Lord of Lords. He will coma as the concurer to reign in justice and power. To Him be the glory and power forever and ever. Amen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy45 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Jesus knew very well his purpose of coming to earth as the savior for all mankind. In order for that purpose to be fulfilled, he had to be the perfect sacrificial lamb. If he had called upon the host of heaven, his purpose would have been short-circuited and we would have no way out of our spiritual death. I am incredibly thankful that he did not call upon the heavenly host and stood in my place on the cross so I now have access to the Father and a place in heaven. When Jesus took his place on the throne and all authority was passed to him, he called on the heavenly host to ride with him as he alone is now qualified to pass judgment on all the earth and make war with his enemies.

What happens when does he does call on the heavenly hosts? (Revelation 19:11-16) Jesus did not call on the heavenly host in the Garden of Gethsmane because Jesus realized it was not of concern to the Heavenly Host.....Jesus realized that Mankind has its own path to learning and the Heavenly Host is there to advise and help when asked and not to change its course ... That is to be a decision for Mankind alone.... It would be utterly fruitless to force upon the Human Race a Vision of Peace and Harmony when it cannot find it in the very bathos of its subconscious existence....Jesus had chosen the path of knowledge and awareness of the heavenly host relinquishing the realm in which mankind wallows in ignorance and suffering for the sake of predomination.....When Jesus was released from his human materiality Heaven was there to welcome him and place him where he remains to this day, one of mankind's finest representatives of the Vision Mankind has yet to fulfill.

mc'el4life Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Q3. (Matthew 26:53) Why did Jesus not call on the heavenly host in the Garden of Gethsemane? What happens when does he does call on the heavenly hosts? (Revelation 19:11-16) [/quo The Host of Heavens are always present working with Gods children. Jesus battle is a battle that is won already but must be fought by Him in the physical though His flesh tried to resist the battle but thank God for His Spirit In His Son which made Him to surrender to His Fathers will to be done. His not calling upon the Heavenly Host to work means He was ready to fulfill His purpose in life not resisting death but laid His life down for mankind by His death on the Cross so that salvation can come to every man. He rose again on the third day, having victory over death. When He does call on the heavenly Host they follow Him with full force coming out victorious and because He is Faithful and True He judge the nations righteous and unrighteous and finally reign as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

What happens when does he does call on the heavenly hosts? (Revelation 19:11-16) Mat 26:53 Don't you know that I could ask my Father, and right away he would send me more than twelve armies of angels? Rev 19:11 I looked and saw that heaven was open, and a white horse was there. Its rider was called Faithful and True, and he is always fair when he judges or goes to war. Rev 19:12 He had eyes like flames of fire, and he was wearing a lot of crowns. His name was written on him, but he was the only one who knew what the name meant. Rev 19:13 The rider wore a robe that was covered with blood, and he was known as "The Word of God." Rev 19:14 He was followed by armies from heaven that rode on horses and were dressed in pure white linen. Rev 19:15 From his mouth a sharp sword went out to attack the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod and will show the fierce anger of God All-Powerful by trampling the grapes in the pit where wine is made. Rev 19:16 On the part of the robe that covered his thigh was written, "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Garden if Gethsemane, Jesus didn't call out his angels because he has to die and face death alone. At Revelation 19:11-16; "Then 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. 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. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 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. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords If Jesus DID call out his angels, they've always be on his side and faces death together.

What happens when does he does call on the heavenly hosts? (Revelation 19:11-16) Mat 26:53 Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? Jesus came to earth for one reason alone and that reason was to die for us. At that time He knew that His time was nearly at an end. That is why though we did murder Christ he could have stopped it at any time but it was his choosing not to. Rev 19:11 Then 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. Rev 19:12 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.

Rev 19:16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. The day that Christ returns will be quite different. He will not be returning as the Lamb but as the Lion...the Mighty Warrior...carrying with Him the Wrath of God. The first time the Lord was here he came not to judge but to save...His return will be the time for Judgement...Christ is returning and at that time He is coming to make war and with Him will be all the Heavenly Hosts...all the armies of the Lord and they are returning to strike down the nations...He will rule then as King of Kings and Lord of Lords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta Cog Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Although he could, Jesus did not call on the heavenly host in the Garden of Gethsemane to save himself because He had to complete the prophecies surrounding Him. He had to go through the crucifixion as the sacrificial lamb for our sin and ultimately be resurrected. He knew the result would be: 1) He fulfilled Bible prophecy surround Christ as the Messiah. 2) By being our substitute as the willing sacrificial lamb, He achieved our salvation by the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
