The Mighty Of The First Born-Tolkien’s Christian Trilogy

THEY HAVE GREAT POWER

Ideogram AI by the Author

The black riders, the servants of the dark lord, are closing in on Merry, Pippin, Frodo, and their companion Strider. Fortunately they are close to the Elvin Kingdom of Rivendell, and one of the Elf Lords has ridden out to help them. He is one of the few who can confront the nine black riders and drive them back. He tells the little band that he came across two of the riders on a bridge a few days back and when they fled from him, he pursued them. Later he met two more and they turned away as soon as they saw him.

Later when they are safe Frodo asks Gandalf about Glorfindel, the Elf Lord. Gandalf’s answer is one of my favorite portions of the book, and confirms that Tolkien wrote from a deep understanding of true Christianity.
