Revelation 19 

The introduction to His Bride 

An end to beasts/dragons

The plagues are over

 

1: & AFTER THESE THINGS I HEARD A GREAT VOICE OF MUCH PEOPLE IN HEAVEN, SAYING, ALLELUIA; SALVATION, & GLORY, & HONOUR, & POWER, UNTO THE LORD OUR GOD: 2: FOR TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS ARE HIS JUDGMENTS: FOR HE HATH JUDGED THE GREAT WHORE, WHICH DID CORRUPT THE EARTH WITH HER FORNICATION, & HATH AVENGED THE BLOOD OF HIS SERVANTS AT HER HAND. 3: & AGAIN THEY SAID, ALLELUIA. & HER SMOKE ROSE UP FOR EVER & EVER

this event has to be after the demise of the Papacy, for they are now rejoicing

 

4: & THE FOUR & TWENTY ELDERS & THE FOUR BEASTS FELL DOWN & WORSHIPPED GOD THAT SAT ON THE THRONE, SAYING, AMEN; ALLELUIA.  

a return to the 24 elders & 4 beasts

5: & A VOICE CAME OUT OF THE THRONE, SAYING, PRAISE OUR GOD, ALL YE HIS SERVANTS, & YE THAT FEAR HIM, BOTH SMALL & GREAT.  6: & I HEARD AS IT WERE THE VOICE OF A GREAT MULTITUDE, & AS THE VOICE OF MANY WATERS, & AS THE VOICE OF MIGHTY THUNDERINGS, SAYING, ALLELUIA: FOR THE LORD GOD OMNIPOTENT REIGNETH. 7: LET US BE GLAD & REJOICE, & GIVE HONOUR TO HIM: FOR THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB IS COME, & HIS WIFE HATH MADE HERSELF READY

it is not just Christians rejoicing, but people from all over the Earth because the Papacy & her babes have been terminated - a new age

- the new heaven of chapter 21 is Christ's bride, & final gift from God   

- contrary to many Christians' hypothesis, -

the church is not the Lamb's bride

 

8: & TO HER WAS GRANTED THAT SHE SHOULD BE ARRAYED IN FINE LINEN, CLEAN & WHITE: FOR THE FINE LINEN IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF SAINTS.  9: & HE SAITH UNTO ME, WRITE, BLESSED ARE THEY WHICH ARE CALLED UNTO THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB. & HE SAITH UNTO ME, THESE ARE THE TRUE SAYINGS OF GOD.

THIS MARRIAGE SUPPER IS OF THE PROPHET & HIS FOLLOWERS ABOUT TO ENTER HIS KINGDOM

 

10: & I FELL AT HIS FEET TO WORSHIP HIM. & HE SAID UNTO ME, SEE THOU DO IT NOT: I AM THY FELLOWSERVANT, & OF THY BRETHREN THAT HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS: WORSHIP GOD: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY 

A repeat to the fact that we do not bow to any but God

- we worship none other but God;

- we praise Christ - why do Christians bow to the likes of popes, kings & queens when it an absolute no-no

- but why would a wise man like John have bowed to Him in the first place? After all, he was educated enough to know that such an act was wrong.

What might seem to be the case, is that Christ may have risen up the ranks in God's Kingdom - something John is acknowledging by his new actions - obviously in awe  

 

11: & I SAW HEAVEN OPENED, & BEHOLD A WHITE HORSE;

The white horse of Chapter 6 returns - I SAW, & BEHOLD A WHITE HORSE: - HE THAT SAT ON HIM HAD A BOW; - A CROWN WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM: - HE WENT FORTH CONQUERING, - TO CONQUER  - then it was from God's throne where we heard God's voice - where Christ was presented with the first of the 7 seals

- it would seem that all that has transpired will repeat itself in the future

 

& HE THAT SAT UPON HIM WAS CALLED FAITHFUL & TRUE, & IN RIGHTEOUSNESS HE DOTH JUDGE & MAKE WAR. 12: HIS EYES WERE AS A FLAME OF FIRE, & ON HIS HEAD WERE MANY CROWNS; &

HE HAD A NAME WRITTEN, THAT NO MAN KNEW, BUT HE HIMSELF    

The many crowns denote many reigns - prophets - & Christ does acquire a new name once more - OBVIOUSLY HE WILL BE BACK UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME

FAITHFUL & TRUE - like the white horse, - returning to a previous verse, Armageddon

 

13: & HE WAS CLOTHED WITH A VESTURE DIPPED IN BLOOD: & HIS NAME IS CALLED THE WORD OF GOD       

Again, John 1:1 indicates that Christ was God's beginning & the Word.

 

14: & THE ARMIES WHICH WERE IN HEAVEN FOLLOWED HIM UPON WHITE HORSES, CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN, WHITE & CLEAN. 15: & OUT OF HIS MOUTH GOETH A SHARP SWORD, THAT WITH IT HE SHOULD SMITE THE NATIONS: & HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON: & HE TREADETH THE WINEPRESS OF THE FIERCENESS & WRATH OF ALMIGHTY GOD       

The sharp sword is the Word & He is the authority of words - Christ repeats what has already been past

He is not bringing peace, as said before, but a sword

Nations begin to exist & the winepress is set in motion

 

16: & HE HATH ON HIS VESTURE AND ON HIS THIGH A NAME WRITTEN, KING OF KINGS, & LORD OF LORDS.

17: & I SAW AN ANGEL STANDING IN THE SUN; & HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING TO ALL THE FOWLS THAT FLY IN THE MIDST OF HEAVEN, COME & GATHER YOURSELVES TOGETHER UNTO THE SUPPER OF THE GREAT GOD;

18: THAT YE MAY EAT THE FLESH OF KINGS, & THE FLESH OF CAPTAINS, & THE FLESH OF MIGHTY MEN, & THE FLESH OF HORSES, & OF THEM THAT SIT ON THEM, & THE FLESH OF ALL MEN, BOTH FREE & BOND, BOTH SMALL & GREAT.

19: & I SAW THE BEAST, & THE KINGS OF THE EARTH, & THEIR ARMIES, GATHERED TOGETHER TO MAKE WAR AGAINST HIM THAT SAT ON THE HORSE, & AGAINST HIS ARMY       

The beast that is left to face is Islam & the event is Armageddon

 

20: AND THE BEAST WAS TAKEN, & WITH HIM THE FALSE PROPHET THAT WROUGHT MIRACLES BEFORE HIM, WITH WHICH HE DECEIVED THEM THAT HAD RECEIVED THE MARK OF THE BEAST, & THEM THAT WORSHIPPED HIS IMAGE. THESE BOTH WERE CAST ALIVE INTO A LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE.  21: & THE REMNANT WERE SLAIN WITH THE SWORD OF HIM THAT SAT UPON THE HORSE, WHICH SWORD PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH:

& ALL THE FOWLS WERE FILLED WITH THEIR FLESH       

This end of religious conflict terminates with the false prophet going the way of the beast - Islam & Christianity exterminate each other in a sense  - Perhaps Israel is gone      

The followers wake up to God's Commandments, especially pertaining to bloodshed

 

The above ends religious institutions as a Brother/Sisterhood, in a sense, begins
