The War of the Lamb

The final triumph of Christ over beastly empire and its ways and means of death is described in the Book of Revelation as the war of the Lamb. Jesus doesn't become a righteous beast to conquer evil beasts -- Jesus conquers the beasts of empire as a slain and risen Lamb. This is the kind of war that is depicted in Revelation 19 with the white horse rider called the Word of God who wears a robe drenched in his own blood and wages a righteous war with a sword in his mouth. This is the way of the Lamb. This is the war of the Lamb.
