Ever been to the Weta Workshop in Wellington? It is an amazing place where physical effects are created to make a movie come to life. Most of the "props" are make believe. However, there are some items that are made to scale and with the real stuff. One of them are some of the swords. They have a great collection of swords that are made by a master swordsman. Beautiful to look at, but need care in handling. It is hard to believe how in ancient times swords were used widely, but they were.
Ezekiel 21:14
You therefore, son of man, prophesy, And strike your hands together. The third time let the sword do double damage. It is the sword that slays, The sword that slays the great men, That enters their private chambers.
The sword is mentioned throughout this chapter and its referred to in relation to the judgement that is coming on Jerusalem and the Ammonites. Great wrath through the hands of the Babylonians. They also do not follow God and will fall. The sword used is nothing compared to the Sword of the Lord. The sword is only worth for executing judgement ordained by the Lord. But there is a higher sword.
It is spiritual and able to open hearts and and provide a weapon to fight spiritual battles. It is the perfect sword compared to the sword of the Babylonians. Do you have the Sword of the Lord? The Sword of the Spirit? It is part of the spiritual armor. Wear it for His glory and victory.
Father, I am wearing it.
