Verse by Verse Study of Revelation Chapter 19
This is a VERSE-by-VERSE study of chapter 19 in the Book of Revelation.
This verse-by-verse study on the Book of Revelation is from or with a Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
In other words, verses like Revelation 1:8 are interpreted in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God and NOT in the TRADITIONAL church interpretation.
To say this another way, it is NOT Jesus who is the one speaking in Revelation 1:8.
But rather, it is Almighty God the Father speaking in Revelation 1:8.

Revelation Chapter 19.
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb is the Great Supper!
Revelation 19:1. “And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Revelation 19:2. For true and righteous are his judgments: for he has judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

Revelation 19:4. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshiped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

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.
Revelation 19:10. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See you do it not: I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
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.
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.
Revelation 19:14. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Revelation 19:15. And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Revelation 19:16. And he has 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 you 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.
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.
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 worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
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.”
As I have said many times, the book of Revelation keeps jumping around.
And here in chapter 19, we see this yet again. This chapter begins with the first five verses giving praise to God for judging the great whore Babylon.
Then the scene changes back to the SECOND coming of Jesus in verse 6.
Let us begin with verse 1 and I will show you what I mean.
Revelation 19:1. “And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in HEAVEN, (Or before the throne) SAYING, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God:”
So, clearly, we see many PEOPLE in heaven, which we would assume are the SAINTS.
For you see, this verse says, and AFTER THESE things, speaking of what we just read in chapter 18 about the second coming of Jesus, the rapture of the church, and the wrath of God, then we see in heaven or before the throne a great multitude of PEOPLE.
Revelation 19:2. “For true and righteous are his judgments: for He (Almighty God by or through His Son Jesus) HAS judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and HAS avenged the blood of His servants at her hand.”
Again, we see the past tense, as in, this WRATH of God has ALREADY been executed.
Revelation 19:3. “And again they (The great multitude of PEOPLE) said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.”
Again, showing past tense. But I also want to point out that the wording of HER SMOKE rose up for ever and ever.
In other words, it does NOT say that the CRIES of her being TORTURED in the flames of fire of hell ascended up for all eternity as some falsely teach.
I believe people should have ALL the evidence so that they can decide for themselves as to what the WHOLE word of God teaches.
I can see how the man-made doctrine of hell fire frightens people to follow the Lord.
But I can ALSO see how this doctrine of eternal TORTURE pushes people AWAY from God as well.
To learn what the Bible itself teaches concerning eternal punishment, please read the study called Does Revelation 20:10 teach Eternal Torment?
Also, please read the study called Is the Doctrine of Hell Biblical?
But for now, let us continue with Revelation chapter 19.
Revelation 19:4. “And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshiped God that sat on the throne, SAYING, Amen; (Or yes we agree, even so you have judged rightly Lord God) Alleluia (Praise you O Lord)
Revelation 19:5. And a voice came out of the throne, (I believe this voice that came out from the throne is the voice of Jesus.
For you see, we know that Jesus was highly exalted to sit on the throne of Almighty God at his right hand.
In other words, Almighty God did not give this right to any of the ANGELS) SAYING, Praise OUR God, (The word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible teaches us that Almighty God the Father is the God of Jesus as well as our God.
In other words, Jesus himself is our FELLOW BROTHER, who was himself obedient to the commandments of Almighty God his God and Father) all you his servants, and you that fear him, both small and great.”
Let us now continue with verse 6 of Revelation chapter 19.
Here we see this CHANGE of going back and ADDING yet MORE detail to the SECOND coming of Jesus.
And this added information is curiously CALLED the MARRIAGE and the MARRIAGE SUPPER of the LAMB.
Revelation 19:6. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, (Speaking of the dead in CHRIST who have gone to be with the Lord in heaven under the altar.
These are the SAINTS that God will bring WITH him when he comes) and as the voice of many waters, (This is the voice of Jesus as we have already learned in chapter 1) and as the voice of mighty thundering (This voice I am assuming is the voice of the great army of angels that will come with Jesus to gather together all the faithful believers together.
The angels will take us to meet Jesus in the air over this place called Armageddon to fight against those nations that are fighting against Israel.
In other words, we are the EAGLES in Matthew 24:28 gathered to feast at the supper of God also called the Marriage Supper of the Lamb) saying, Alleluia (Praise the Lord God): for the Lord God omnipotent REIGNS.”
Omnipotent means Almighty, which of course is speaking of the one true and only Almighty God the Father who REIGNS over all, including reigning over His Son Jesus, according to 1 Corinthians 11:3 and many other verses of Scripture.
Now let us continue with the next verse to see the CHANGE from talking about AFTER the wrath has been executed to giving more details of the SECOND coming of Jesus.
Revelation 19:7. “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: FOR (Or because) the MARRIAGE of the Lamb IS COME, and his WIFE (Speaking of his CHURCH) has made HERSELF ready.”
Here we see that it is NOW TIME for the MARRIAGE of the Lamb to take place.
I want you to pay CLOSE attention AT the TIME of the SECOND coming of Jesus when he comes with the ARMIES of heaven.
Also, notice that Jesus is coming for a bride that is WITHOUT SPOT or BLEMISH meaning that we, the church, are to be WATCHING and making ourselves READY by getting SIN out of our life.
Remember in chapters 2 and 3 we talked about if we do NOT overcome, then Jesus will come and pour out God's WRATH upon us.
All through the Scriptures, we clearly see that they who live in SIN shall DIE.
The wages of SIN is DEATH. He that does NOT overcome shall have his name BLOTTED OUT of the book of life. ONLY he that ENDURES unto the END the SAME shall be SAVED.
Take heed that no man TAKE your crown of ETERNAL LIFE. Are YOU READY to meet Jesus?
“Revelation 19:8. And to her (Speaking of the church, the BRIDE of Christ that is living WITHOUT SIN) was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of saints.”
Here we see that the fine linen that is white and clean, the white robes, is speaking of RIGHTEOUSNESS.
We also can conclude from this that having SPOT or blemish means UNRIGHTEOUSNESS or SIN.
Also, being found NAKED means that a person has SIN in their life.
It is ONLY the RIGHTEOUS who will be BLESSED to become the wife of the Lamb.
Revelation 19:9. “And he said unto me, Write, BLESSED are they which are called unto the MARRIAGE SUPPER of the Lamb. And he said unto me, These are the true sayings of God.”
First of all. I want you to notice that ONLY those who are CALLED to the MARRIAGE SUPPER shall be BLESSED.
Also, notice that this passage of Scripture is speaking of the SECOND coming of Jesus and NOT speaking of the FALSE PRE-tribulation coming of Jesus.
Then I want you to notice that the HE that was speaking to John is the VOICE as MANY WATERS, which we learned in chapter 1 is the voice of Jesus.
And Revelation 19:6 opens with this SAME voice of MANY WATERS, which is clearly the voice of Jesus speaking to John in Chapter 1.
So, to me, the MESSENGER speaking to John here in chapter 19 is Jesus teaching us, the church, to give praise to Almighty God.
In verse 7, we see this same voice is still speaking and telling us to give HIM praise.
This is referring to Almighty God and that we should give HIM praise.
Thus, we are to worship Almighty God for HIS workmanship to provide us salvation through His Messiah whom He created and raised up among the people.
This is what OMNIPOTENT means, all powerful or Almighty.
And Almighty God is the God of Jesus according to MANY passages of Scripture.
Then, in verse 9, we still yet see this same voice of this MESSENGER, who has the voice of MANY WATERS speaking to John and us the church.
So again, to me, this messenger is Jesus! I will explain the next verse in detail so that you can see the HUMBLENESS of Jesus desiring ALL of the GLORY to go to his God and Father who created him.
Now the reason that I bring this to your attention is the NEXT verse where John falls down to WORSHIP the one speaking to him.
And MESSENGER tells him NOT to worship him, but rather, worship Almighty God.
Revelation 19:10. “And I fell at HIS feet to worship HIM. And he said unto me, See you do it NOT: (WHY? Why did the angel or messenger tell John NOT to worship him?) I am your fellow servant, and of your BRETHREN that have the testimony of Jesus: (Jesus is our fellow servant, Jesus is our fellow brethren, Jesus preached the gospel of believing in the Son of God.
And also keep in mind that the NAME “Jesus” means the salvation of Yahweh.
In other words, this servant has the testimony that Yahweh or Almighty God HIMSELF saves by PROVIDING mankind with His Savior.
What confuses Christians is the phrase “I HAVE the testimony OF Jesus”.
Keep in mind that we are reading a TRANSLATION.
Let us put the MEANINGS of the name Jesus and the Greek word “translated” as testimony.
“I am the EVIDENCE that Yahweh saves”) worship God: for the testimony (Evidence) of Jesus (Yahweh’s salvation) is the spirit of prophecy.”
In other words, Jesus is saying, I am the PROOF that Yahweh SAVES, so worship God, because the PROOF that Yahweh SAVES is the PROPHECY of His Spirit.
Also, to me, it would seem odd for John, who was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and also being a Jew, would KNOW full well to not to fall down and WORSHIP any ANGELIC BEING.
So, to ME, I am seeing that John fell down to worship Jesus and Jesus told him NOT to worship him, but rather, worship God.
PLUS, right now, Jesus is our PRINCE, according to Revelation 1:5.
And according to the PROPHECY in Isaiah 9:6,7, Jesus will not be the Mighty God UNTIL the government is LAID on His shoulders.
Thus, Jesus could have intended his word to mean that our worshiping Jesus as being our “God” over the earth is a little premature.
And when God brings His first begotten into the world at his coming, then Jesus will RECEIVE the worship for he is WORTHY.
This does NOT mean that we are not to give praise and worship to Jesus in this present world.
I am simply sharing what I myself SEE in the Scriptures.
And for me, I do NOT see John worshiping an angel or any other man other than the GLORIFIED Son of MAN, Jesus.
For you see, if this messenger was NOT Jesus, then John fell down and worshiped an angel of another being in heaven who was NOT God.
We will see this worshiping of a messenger AGAIN in Revelation 22:6-9, which we might as well take a look at now since we are on this subject.
Revelation 22:6-9.
“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: (Almost the exact same wording as in Rev 19:9 “These are true sayings of God”) and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel (Or messenger) to show unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
Revelation 22:7. Behold, I come quickly: (Clearly, Jesus speaking about his second coming) blessed is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
Revelation 22:8. And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel (Or messenger) which showed me these things.
Revelation 22:9. Then said he unto me, See you do it not: for I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of them which KEEP the sayings of this book: worship God.”
Again, in verse 9 we see almost the same exact words that the VOICE of many waters spoke to John and us the church in Revelation 19:10.
Only this time this one speaking adds that he himself KEEPS the saying of this book.
Now we know that Jesus KEPT the commandments of his God and Father and was OBEDIENT even unto death on the cross.
And for this reason, Almighty God HIGHLY EXALTED his Son Jesus and gave him a name above every name and that one day EVERY knee shall bow and confess that name to the glory of Almighty God the Father.
Just something to think about. I want you to know that I give thanks to Jesus and praise the name of Jesus.
I pray to Almighty God the Father in the name of Jesus and I take authority over the enemy in the name of Jesus.
The Bible clearly teaches us that we are to HONOR the SON even as we HONOR Almighty God the Father.
It just seems odd to me that John would bow down to an ANGEL to worship an ANGEL.
But at the same time, it seems odd to me that if this were in fact Jesus speaking to him and John bowed down to worship JESUS that Jesus would say to him do it NOT but rather worship Almighty God.
Perhaps Jesus will not yet be worshiped by the angels until he comes again to rule and reign in the kingdom of his God and Father for 1000 years.
Let us move on to Revelation 19:11.
Revelation 19:11. “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse (I personally do not believe that Jesus is going to be riding on a LITERAL horse when he comes again.
But rather, this white horse is symbolic of something else that I share with you in the study called Q-7. What Does the BIBLE SAY About UFOS?) and he (Jesus) that sat upon him (The white horse or chariot of God) was CALLED Faithful and True, (Jesus is called the FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS in Rev. 2) and in righteousness he does judge and make WAR.”
Clearly, this verse is speaking of the SECOND coming of Jesus, which a few verses earlier we were told of the MARRIAGE and the MARRIAGE SUPPER of Jesus.
So then, CLEARLY, we see TWO things that take place AT the SECOND coming of Jesus.
We see the MARRIAGE of Jesus of his bride, the CHURCH.
And then we see immediately following the bride becoming the wife of Jesus at the MARRIAGE SUPPER, which will be described in more DETAIL in the latter half of this same chapter only it is called the SUPPER of the great God.
Let us continue with the next two verses, which further identifies the one sitting on the white horse is Jesus.
Revelation 19:12. “His eyes were as a flame of fire, (Same description of Jesus as in Rev 1:14) and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew , but he himself. (Possibly the NEW name given to Jesus that every knee shall one day bow down and confess to the glory of Almighty God the Father)
Revelation 19:13. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: (Signifying two things; first that Jesus shed his blood for the sins of the world.
And secondly, because Jesus will be covered with the blood of the wicked who will be slain in this WAR of Armageddon the great battle of God) and his NAME is called The Word of God.”
And we know from John 1:1-14 that the WORD of God was made flesh and dwelt among us.
Let us continue with verse 14 of Revelation chapter 19.
Revelation 19:14. “And the ARMIES (Plural, which to ME, speaks of the army of mighty angels and the army of the SAINTS) which WERE IN heaven (Speaking of the dead in Christ that have died through the years and have gone to be with the Lord in heaven who were kept under the altar till this time of the SECOND coming of Jesus who God will bring WITH him when he comes) followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.”
Again, the white horses I do not believe are LITERAL horses and the white and clean linen is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the saints.
And I myself do not believe that the CHARIOTS of God will be wooden chariots with wheels pulled by horses flying in the sky either.
I have a study on what I believe the white horse represents called Q-7. What Does the BIBLE SAY About UFOS?
That study gives several Scriptures on what Jesus coming in CLOUDS of great glory may mean.
But for now, let us continue with the next verse.
Revelation 19:15. “And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: (This sharp sword could refer to the word of God, which is sharper than any two edged sword.
For you see, Jesus said that the WORD he spoke would JUDGE the world in the last day) and he shall rule them with a rod of IRON: and he treads the wine press of the FIERCENESS (THYMOS) and WRATH (ORGE) of Almighty God.”
Compare this rod of IRON with Rev. 2:26,27, where we the church who OVERCOME will BREAK in PIECES the NATIONS along with Jesus with the ROD of IRON.
Almighty God gives this honor to all His SAINTS or holy ones for being obedient to OVERCOME SIN and to NOT take the MARK of the beast.
I believe that the taking of the mark of the beast will require people to DENY Jesus is the SON of God who died for our sins.
I say this because in Revelation chapter 18 it appears that WE will repay DOUBLE to those who persecute us.
My main point however is to NOT take the MARK of the beast and NOT become a Muslim.
Even IF it turns out that ISLAM is not the MARK of the beast, do NOT convert to Islam. For you see, Muslims DENY Jesus as being the SON OF the living God.
Revelation 19:16. “And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Jesus is exalted by Almighty God to be KING over all the kings of the earth.
We the church are made to be kings and priests unto God and we will rule with Jesus over the nations that are left after this great WAR of Armageddon.
Let us continue with the next verse.
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; (Now, I myself see the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven to be BOTH the LITERAL birds of prey, such as the eagles, but ALSO SYMBOLICALLY referring to the church that will mount up as wings of eagles)
Revelation 19:18. That YOU (Speaking of us, the CHURCH and ALSO the literal bird of prey) may eat the flesh (Or more correctly UNDERSTOOD, that YOU may take part in executing the VENGEANCE of Almighty God upon the wicked) 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.”
Now, I believe that this SUPPER of the great God is speaking of the MARRIAGE SUPPER of the Lamb.
For you see, WE, the CHURCH are CAUGHT UP into the AIR at the rapture of the church.
Then, we will be gathered together by the angels to feast on the nations of the world giving them DOUBLE what they gave to us.
It has been said that the taste of vengeance is sweet. Now we do not actually eat the literal flesh, but we are with Jesus when he executes the WRATH and VENGEANCE of Almighty God, according to Psalm 149:7-9 and Revelation 18:4-6.
Remember that when there were two in the field and one was taken?
Remember that the disciples asked Jesus “taken WHERE Lord”?
And Jesus answered, where the SLAIN ARE the EAGLES or the fowls that fly in the air will be GATHERED.
In other words, when we are taken or caught up in the RAPTURE, we will be gathered together and taken to Armageddon where we will then help execute the WRATH of Almighty God.
And thus, the MARRIAGE SUPPER of the Lamb is the SUPPER of the great God.
For you see, the Christians who teach a pre-tribulation rapture of the church argue that they are two separate suppers.
They argue that the marriage supper of the Lamb takes place up in heaven for 7 years, while the supper of the great God takes place on the earth at the coming of Jesus to execute the wrath of God.
Psalm 23:5 prophesies that God will prepare a TABLE for Jesus in the presence of his ENEMIES.
To me, this does not mean a literal supper table to eat literal food.
So, to me, this is not a LITERAL supper that we LITERALLY eat like we eat food with our mouth.
Revelation 17:6 says the woman that rides the beast is DRUNKEN with the BLOOD of the saints, but that does not necessarily mean that they will literally drink the blood of the saints.
Also, King David said to God in 1 Chronicles 11:19, shall I drink the BLOOD of these MEN who put their lives in jeopardy to bring this water to me to drink.
They brought him the water because he was longing for it. But he would not drink it knowing they risked their lives to bring it to him.
To David that WATER would have been as if he was drinking their BLOOD, because he would feel responsible for their DEATH if one of them would have been killed.
So, drinking the blood and eating the flesh of men is speaking of slaying the wicked during executing the WRATH of God.
Let us move on to the next verse.
Revelation 19:19. “And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make WAR against him (Jesus) that sat on the horse, AND against his ARMY.”
Of course, we know that the mighty angels are part of the ARMY.
But there are several verses that show that we the CHURCH will be a part of the ARMY as well.
Let us take a look at a passage of Scripture in the Old Testament that I myself believe is describing this ARMY of SAINTS at the SECOND coming of Jesus.
Please read Joel 2:1-12, which shows us an ARMY executing the WRATH of God.
Joel 2:1-11.
“Blow you the TRUMPET in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the DAY of the LORD comes, for it is nigh at hand;
Joel 2:2. A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a GREAT PEOPLE and a strong; there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. (Speaking of the END of the 1000 year reign of Jesus when Satan shall be loosed and there will be ANOTHER WAR of Gog and MAGOG)
Joel 2:3. A fire devours before them; and behind them a flame burns: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. (Speaking of nothing shall escape this great PEOPLE)
Joel 2:4. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. (Again, a description of the SAINTS riding on HORSES)
Joel 2:5. Like the noise of chariots on the TOPS of mountains shall they LEAP, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a STRONG PEOPLE set in battle array.
Joel 2:6. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
Joel 2:7. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
Joel 2:8. Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall NOT be wounded. (This is speaking of great people having ETERNAL LIFE.
For you see, we will be given eternal life at this time at the second coming of Jesus.
And then, we will assist or help execute the wrath of God with Jesus giving double to the world what the world gave to God’s people)
Joel 2:9. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. (Jesus coming as a THIEF and we are WITH him at this point in time)
Joel 2:10. The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: (All of these SIGNS are present at the SECOND coming of Jesus.
For you see, Jesus comes as a THIEF to execute the WRATH of Almighty God with the ARMIES of heaven, which we, the CHURCH, are a part of)
Joel 2:11. And the LORD shall utter his VOICE before his ARMY: (Come gather together and EAT the flesh of those who PERSECUTED you.
Give to them DOUBLE what they gave to you) for his camp is very great: for he (Jesus) is strong that executes his word (Speaking of the word of Almighty God): for the DAY of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?”
Speaking of the WRATH of Almighty God, which is executed by Jesus and his ARMY at the SECOND coming of Jesus.
Remember that the DAY of the Lord is as a 1000 years long.
Also, it is the SEVENTH 1000-year-long day since the creation of man.
Thus, Yahweh shall REST in His CREATION. His SON Jesus, while His now glorified human Son will rule and reigns FOR the Father on His throne in PEACE.
For you see, when a glorified human rules for 1000 years WITHOUT having any WARS, then God’s NAME will be CLEARED when God judges the fallen angels and fallen man, according to Psalm 51:4.
Also, know that Jesus and his armies will make WAR with the mortal armies of Islam making war with the Jews.
So, to me, the “great people” here is the army of SAINTS who just received immortality and cannot be wounded or killed.
Satan will then be bound for a thousand years. Have you ever wondered WHY Satan will be loosed one final time to deceive the “nations” to make war with the Jews and the great people dwelling in the city of God after many generations or at the end of the 1000-year reign of Jesus?
This final war for all eternity is what Ezekiel calls the war of Gog and Magog. If you have not noticed already, then please take note that Ezekiel chapter 38 is actually the FINAL war at the END of the 1000 years.
Whereas, the war in Ezekiel chapter 39 is the war BEFORE the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
God ALLOWS Satan to be released to PROVE to the angels that Satan will NEVER repent of rebelling against his Creator to make WAR.
Let us continue with the last two verses of Revelation chapter 19 verses 20 and 21.
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 worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.”
I personally believe that the BEAST or the WILD beast are the Muslims of the beast RELIGIOUS SYSTEM of ISLAM.
And thus, the false prophet is the MAHDI of Islam. Their prophecy says that a MAN will unite Islam and the Muslim nations in these last days.
And our prophecy in the Bible describes their Mahdi as being the FALSE prophet.
We know that the false prophet appears to be or SEEMS to be of God to the WORLD. The two horns represents TWO seats of authority,
But we know and understand that this prophet will SPEAK LIES like the DRAGON that Old serpent called the Devil and Satan.
So, it MAY be that the Pope or leader over the Roman Catholic church will be one of these two horns or one of the seats of authority.
And thus, the Pope will deceive Catholic Christians that Islam worships the same God.
And as a result of that LIE by a respected leader among Catholics and the world in general, some Christians will be DECEIVED to convert to Islam to take the MARK of the beast.
Again, to even be in AGREEMENT with Allah of Islam as being the SAME God of the Bible is basically to deny that Jesus is the Christ the SON of the living God.
For you see, Islam DENIES that Jesus is the SON of Almighty God. Thus, it is IMPOSSIBLE for Allah, the god of Islam, to be the SAME God as Christians.
Also, in the prophecy of ISLAM, this PERSON, which the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible, says is a FALSE prophet, in ISLAM, he is said to be none other than Jesus himself come to straighten out the Christians and the Jews to worship Allah.
In other words, Jesus in the Bible is called Isa in ISLAM. But the Isa in Islam is actually the FALSE prophet and false Christ in the Bible.
So then, the TWO horns of this false prophet or false teaching is Islam itself and “Isa” the false Christ confirming to THEM that Islam is the true religion.
This is why Jesus said if anyone comes saying lo, here is Christ, believe them NOT.
For you see, everyone will know when Jesus comes! No one will need to tell anyone that Jesus has come! For all will SEE Jesus coming with his ARMIES in the SKY at the same moment in time!
Also, remember that Jesus told us that if it were possible that EVEN the very elect would be DECEIVED by these FALSE prophets and FALSE teachers.
The Bible also teaches us that there will be a STRONG DELUSION and many shall fall away from the faith. Jesus said of this day “shall I find FAITH on the earth when I come?”
This is WHY I am WARNING my readers to NOT take the MAKE of the BEAST, which I am convinced is ISLAM.
This FALSE prophet will DECEIVE many by the MIRACLES that he does by the power of SATAN.
So then, the MAHDI of Islam and the FALSE prophet will masquerade as being Jesus, but he will be a FALSE Christ.
And when Jesus comes, these two will be cast into the lake of FIRE ALIVE.
Again, the TWO are the false Christ “Isa” for sure. And, concerning the false prophet, it might be all the Muslims who do NOT repent at the coming of the true Jesus, when they see him in the clouds with his great army.
Or the TWO are the false Christ “Isa” and another single individual man, possibly the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church.
I do not know for sure if the TWO refers to the two HORNS or the beast system and the false prophet who deceives the world to worship the beast system.
What truly matters is that we TRUST the words of JESUS to NOT go when you hear people saying Jesus has COME, for ALL people will know when the TRUE Jesus will come and they will NOT need to be TOLD when he comes.
No matter how amazing this false Christ may seem to be, do NOT be DECEIVED, for he will NOT be the TRUE Jesus.
Muslims can be very convincing and they are taught to LIE for the sake of Allah.
But we know that NO LIAR shall enter into the kingdom of God. Satan is a LIAR and the father of LIES.
So, it is no surprise to us as Christians that Muslims are TAUGHT to LIE for the sake of Allah.
This should tell anyone with eyes to see WHO Allah truly IS.
The ONE TRUE God will NEVER LIE.
Revelation 19:21. “And the remnant were slain with the sword (Speaking of the remnant of the wicked who do NOT repent and call upon the name of the Lord to be saved alive to go into the millennium in their mortal bodies to be taught of the Lord) of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.”
Now, just because I believe that the fowls of the air are symbolically speaking of us the church, this does not mean that there will be no LITERAL birds of prey to eat the literal flesh of the dead.
For you see, it is also taught in the Old Testament that these fowls are also LITERAL birds of prey to LITERALLY clean up the mess of all the slain.
Some Christains may also remember that during the first seven years there will be a crew of people of Israel and or those left of the nations to clean up the mess.
Some people will be assigned the task of burning all the weapons of war for seven years.
While other people will be burying all the dead bodies and even every single bone to cleanse the land for seven months.
Keep in mind that the WAR in Ezekiel chapter 39 is actually the war BEFORE the 1000 years.
For you see, the earth itself will pass AWAY after the FINAL war in Ezekiel chapter 38 by the final half of God’s wrath, fire coming down out of heaven, a CONSUMING fire.
Please read Ezekiel 39:8-24.
Ezekiel 39:8-24.
“Behold, it is come, and it is done, says the Lord GOD; this is the DAY whereof I have spoken. (Speaking of the great DAY of his WRATH is done or has been executed)
Ezekiel 39:9. And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the hand staves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
Ezekiel 39:10. So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, says the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel 39:11. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of GRAVES in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
Ezekiel 39:12. And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
Ezekiel 39:13. Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, says the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel 39:14. And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
Ezekiel 39:15. And the passengers that pass through the land, when any sees a man's BONE, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
Ezekiel 39:16. And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
Ezekiel 39:17. And, you son of man, thus says the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, (AND) Assemble YOURSELVES, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for YOU, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that YOU may eat flesh, and drink blood.
Ezekiel 39:18. YOU shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. (So, you can see BOTH the LITERAL fowls eating the literal flesh and the fowl SYMBOLICALLY referring to the SAINTS executing the wrath of God with Jesus)
Ezekiel 39:19. And YOU shall eat fat till you be full, and drink blood till you be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
Ezekiel 39:20. Thus YOU shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, says the Lord GOD. (Now, to ME, all this eating of flesh and drinking of blood is not literally eating human flesh and drinking human blood.
But rather, it is the executing of God WRATH giving them DOUBLE the pain and suffering that the world gave to us as Christians.
So then, the EAGLES gather together in Matthew 24 and Revelation 18 at the supper of God, the table set before us for us to partake, are BOTH literal eagles AND Christians.
The literal eagle will literally eat the flesh and WE shall figuratively eat by TASTING the sweetness of VENGEANCE when it is God Himself who calls us and gathers us together to help Jesus execute the vengeance or WRATH of God).
Ezekiel 39:21. And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
Ezekiel 39:22. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
Ezekiel 39:23. And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
Ezekiel 39:24. According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.”
This is why I am open to believe that the SMOKE of their torment could possibly arise forever and ever to be an everlasting reminder to all. That SIN will not be tolerated from that day forward.
However, it seems more reasonable to me that the smoke rising up will END. And thus, forever simply means to the end of THAT AGE.
For you see, every tear will be wiped away. Thus, if the smoke of their torment were to arise for all eternity, then that would be a constant reminder of the ones we loved who rejected God’s salvation.
But either way, it will serve as a reminder that sin will not be allowed from that point on for all eternity.
The good angels will know that it was right and just to destroy the angels who rebelled to take over God’s throne after the final day of judgment at the end of the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
This brings us to the end of chapter 19 of the book of Revelation.
So let us begin CHAPTER 20 where we learn that Satan is BOUND in the bottomless pit for a 1000 years while Jesus and the SAINTS rule and reign over the remnant of Israel and those left of the nations.
To continue with CHAPTER 20 just click on the link or go to the menu list below to click on the link to a different chapter in the Book or Revelation.
Here is the Table of Contents with links to all of the chapters in the Book of Revelation.
It is best to read them in the order that they are listed. But please feel free to skip any chapter and any verse.
Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
For a deeper understanding of this WAR that Lucifer and one third of the angels waged against the throne of Almighty God, please read the studies under the subject category called ** Q-0 Why Are We Here? Is God at WAR? **.
