Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!



After the judgment and destruction of the "woman", which is the great city that led nations into corruption, there is great rejoice in heaven. Those in heaven including the twenty four elders and the four beasts worshipped and glorified God. They also praised God for His judgment on the great city that has caused many saints to perish.

The next praise and rejoicing is for the marriage of the Lamb to His bride, which is the church of Y'shua. The angel pronounced blessings on those attending the marriage supper of the Lamb. As the angel finished the sayings, John tried to worship him but the angel stopped him and told him to worship God instead, because the angel is also a fellowservant.

In the next vision, John saw Jesus riding on the white horse. Y'shua is described as Faithful, True, judging and waging war in righteousness, eyes of flaming fire, head with crowns, having an unknown name, dressed in blood, has the name Word of God, sword in his mouth that can smite nations, rule nations with an iron rod, has the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God, has the names written on His thigh Lord of lords, King of kings, is followed by an army on white horses.

If the Revelation is revealed in a chronological order, at least in this chapter, then the destruction of the Great City comes first. This city, also known as the Woman, Whore and Babylon, may be the prime city in the world, a world capital or a nations state. Following its destruction is the marriage of the Lamb to His saints. After this is the great battle. An angel calls on all flying creatures to celebrate the wedding of the Lamb, by preparing to devour the earthly kings, leaders, armies and all the people remaining. The beast will lead the earthly kings with armies against Y'shua and His armies. There are no other details of the battle. The next description is about the total defeat of the Beast (Anti-Christ), the False Prophet, and those that worshipped the image of the Beast. The Beast and the False Prophet were thrown into the Lake of fire burning with brimstone. The rest of the people are slain by Y'shua and eaten by the flying creatures.




Revelation 19
Heaven Exults over Babylon

1 After these things I heard[a] a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord[b] our God! 2 For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” 3 Again they said, “Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” 4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!” 5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both[c] small and great!”

6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the[d] Lord God Omnipotent reigns! 7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” 8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Christ on a White Horse

11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had[e] a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean,[f] followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp[g] sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.

The Beast and His Armies Defeated

17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God,[h] 18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free[i] and slave, both small and great.”

19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.
