King of Swords
Authority and action of the air: planning, strategy, sound thinking, sharp reason. This figure is clothed in sky blue hues and surrounded by blue skies, the very picture of a clear conscience. Beneath his purple mantle of majesty, he wears a red cloak like the major arcana card of justice. His robe is solid and pure with white like the clouds and throne.
Like David serving as general, this king might say, "Blessed be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle." David always inquired of the LORD before going into battle, sometimes directly facing the enemy and sometimes in secret ambush, with strategies still studied today.
However, our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers of the air, to take captive every thought to the obedience of Christ.
He holds the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
We have not been given a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of sound mind.
With clear-mindedness we should rightly divide the word of truth with discernment, clarity, insight, justice, and judgement.
