Revelations 12:12-16
I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man," dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
I must admit, I have become enamored with this image. In my mind I can see Jesus looking exactly as the passage describes, in all magnificence and glory. The thought gives me chills! My savior was hung on a cross while on this earth looking so helpless, but will return in all power and all brilliance as described in the passage and every knee will bow; every eye will see Him as I see Him! One day I will see the beauty and grandeur of Jesus, the one that redeemed me and as scary as he sounds in the passage, I know He will also come to show perfect love as this world has never seen or understood! Glory to Him FOREVER!

We will see Jesus like that one day. I myself have been taking a couple peeks into revelations. One of my favorite parts is when Jesus leads all the faithful into the final battle. Sometimes we forget that Jesus is not only a leader but a warrior with a purpose and strategy already in place. How awesome.
It's a beautiful image. it's awesome to think that in real life it'll be even better :)
