The Book of the Revelation
CHAPTER 19
Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Revelation 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
Revelation 19:3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
The judgment of the great whore is complete and in heaven the saints are praising God. The word Alleluia is Hebrew, which means Praise ye Jehovah. The word has not been translated, so the language in heaven could be Hebrew.
The reason why the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever is because they are cast into the lake of fire when hell is delivered up and judged.
Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Revelation 19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. They are giving God the glory for bring judgment on those that had slain the saints for the Word of God. This is like the same scene that John saw when he was first caught up to see the throne room of God.
Revelation 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
When we see the phrase "our God" in the scripture, it is always referring to the Nation of Israel.
Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
"All his servants" refers to the servants that had their heads cut off for a testimony of Jesus Christ during the tribulation period.
Revelation 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Revelation 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
He is God Almighty. Omnipotent means all powerful, omniscient means all knowing, and omnipresent means He is everywhere.
Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Revelation 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.His bride is now ready for the marriage and those that are blessed and called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. There is only one time in scripture where we see who the bride will be. It is the Holy City.
Revelation 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Revelation 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
The ones that are in the Holy City are the overcomers. They are arrayed in fine linen, clean and white for this is the righteousness of the saints. Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Revelation 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
All the OT saints will be friends of the bride and they will be married to the land for God has promised it to them. To be married is to become one and that is what will happen when God makes a new covenant with the Nation of Israel.
John 3:29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
Isaiah 62:4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Angels are not to be worshiped and they are only to worship the Lord Jesus Christ. The Spirit of prophecy is the testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ. The goal of prophecy is the God of heaven shall set up His kingdom on the earth.
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
This the third time we see heaven open. The first time is when John goes up and the second time is when then the two witnesses go up. This is the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. He comes to earth and he is on a white horse. Compare this white horse rider with the one we saw at the beginning of the tribulation period in Revelation Chapter 6.
Revelation 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
He has five names that are given Him. He is called Faithful and True, the Word of God and the King of kings and His name no man knew. Also the people going into the kingdom will be given a new name. Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
His vesture is dipped in blood because when He get to the earth He fights the Battle of Armageddon.
Revelation 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Note that there is more than one army that follows him out of heaven. One army is the Nation of Israel that will be resurrected and born again when they reach earth. The other army is all His Holy angels.Ezekiel 37:10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
Ezekiel 37:11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
The sharp sword that goes out of His mouth is the Word of God. He is coming to rule and reign. The first time He came on a colt with palm leaves but the second time He will be riding a white horse to judge and make war and rule with a rod of iron.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Revelation 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
Jesus Christ is God Almighty. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lord. (Psm 72:11)
The bodies of those killed at the Battle of Armageddon are the one that will be eaten by the fowls of the air. Luke 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
This is the Battle of Armageddon that the Lord Jesus Christ will fight with His armies from heaven on white horse. It will be like a winepress. The blood will run up to the horses bridle.
Revelation 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
The antichrist and the false prophecy both are cast into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. This is eternal punishment because a 1000 years later they are still there when Satan is also cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever.Revelation 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
The armies of the antichrist were killed by the Words out of His mouth and He will trample them under His feet.
Proverb 12:18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword:
Zechariah 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
