Then suddenly upon a ridge appeared a rider, clad in white, shinning in the rising sun. Over the low hills the horns were sounding. Behind him, hastening down the long slopes, were a thousand men on foot; their swords were in their hands... The White Rider was upon them, and the terror of his coming filled the enemy with madness. The wild men fell on their faces before him. The Orcs reeled and screamed and cast aside both sword and spear. Like a black smoke driven by a mounting wind they fled. Wailing they passed under the waiting shadow of the trees; and from that shadow none ever came again.
Once again another great example of the literary magic of Tolkien. This is a almost perfect picture to what happens in Revelation 19:11-20, if you want to read it, and what will happen at the end of the world. When Jesus, the White Rider rides and defeats all his enemies.
I like how Tolkien describes the orcs' reaction, they were terrified, because they knew it was over. Just like how our enemy will react when God comes up and says, "Party's over! Your time is up, it's my turn now!" And they will all go into the shadow that awaits them, and never return. I can not wait to see it. It'll be AWESOME!!!
