Exodus is in the Old Testament. Jesus' message supersedes any conflicting law in the Old Testament. In the Garden of Gethsemane, when Jesus was being arrested, he told his disciples who had swords not to use them.

Jesus, even when faced with his own arrest, refused to allow his disciples to use swords to defend him.

As the video in the OP points out, Jesus' return in a robe covered in blood is a reminds that, according to the account in the New Testament, Jesus was tortured, humiliated and bled to death on the cross. That is why he is described as returning with a robe covered in blood.

That was meant to say that the living Jesus would return as the physical being of Jesus.

How political can this preacher be? He is a fraud. I will call him out on that. This preacher is a fraud. He does not preach the New Testament or the teachings of Jesus.

Yeah, Bryan? Would Jesus have tortured Caithars? Would he have made a saint of Torquemada or Cyril of Alexandria?

Actually, I love Jesus. It's some leading Christians, past and present, that give me a problem.
