The Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God

He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.  Revelation 1:16

“To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things: Revelation 2:12

Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.  Revelation 2:16

REPENT

He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.  Revelation 13:14

Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. Revelation 19:15

The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh.  Revelation 19:21

His delight will be in the fear of Yahweh. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears; but with righteousness he will judge the poor, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.  Isaiah 11:3,4

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;  Ephesians 6:17

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.  There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account. Hebrews 4:12,13

Armor

He has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.  Isaiah 49:2

Therefore I have cut them to pieces with the prophets; I killed them with the words of my mouth. Your judgments are like a flash of lightning.  For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.  Hosea 6:5,6
