“Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth (*who is truly “seeing” or “perceiving”). [*Romans 10: 1-4 (KJV)]”
“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. [*Revelation 6: 1, 2 (KJV)]”
“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. [*Romans 8: 37-39 (KJV)]”
See, how intrinsically linked these scriptures are! To submit oneself unto the righteousness of God implies that we have first had a revelation of the righteousness of God; a revelation of the true image and likeness of our heavenly Father, as He is only seen in… and by… and through… and because of The Lamb. What does one do, how does one respond, when once they find themselves completely overcome, and conquered by the very love of Love Himself? Unless they are suffering from “sklerotes” or a thoroughly callous, and willfully hardening of their heart; they submit themselves unto the righteousness of God, the very love of Love Himself… as He is only seen in, and by, and through, and because of The Lamb! They surrender their crown… any and all rights that they have previously maintained to themselves, as well as their vain attempts at ruling and reigning over their own lives, and over the lives of others… unto the Very Love who has broken them of their pride, and proud look; who has revealed unto them the free gift of His righteousness, the free gift of His love unto all men and women, and especially (notedly) upon them who are truly seeing, believing. Believing is seeing, perceiving, in the realm of our spirits. “Bow” signifies “ribbon,” on a gift!
