The Second Coming

Revelation 19: 11-21

After the judgment of Mystery Babylon, and after the wedding feast of the Lamb, this is what happens: 

(11) And I saw Heaven opened, 

Now is when the cloud cover opens, it rolls away like a scroll unrolling.

and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. 

This is when Jesus breaks through the clouds and approaches the Earth.

(12) His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; 

He has fiery eyes, and He wears many crowns, He has been given to rule and reign over every nation, every people, every world.  

and He has a Name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. 

This is His ticket in. If no one else knows it, then it can't be counterfeited. He's genuine.

(13) He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, 

This is either His own blood, shed on Calvary; or it is from the bloody field of Armageddon. 

and His Name is called The Word of God. 

This cinches it, only God the Son, Jesus Christ, is the Word of God.

(14) And the armies which are in Heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. 

The heavenly armies are those who are wearing fine linen which is given to those who have been washed in the blood, and also worn by angelic beings. All the angelic and resurrected beings, as well as all the other "holy ones" are all following Him on white horses like His.

(15) From His mouth comes a sharp sword, 

The word of God is a sharp, two-edged sword, and it comes out of His mouth.  

so that with it He may strike down the nations, 

Jesus uses His word to cut all the earthly armies into ribbons on the battlefield of Armageddon.  

and He will rule them with a rod of iron; 

The rod is the scepter that shows a king's authority. Iron is the strongest of the metals. This rod of iron means that when Jesus rules, it will be final, with no appeal.  

and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. 

This is the wine press of 14: 19-20 where we are told that, "blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses' bridles, for a distance of two hundred miles."

(16) And on His robe and on His thigh He has a Name written, "King of kings, and Lord of lords." 

There is none other King over all other kings, or Lord over all other lords, than Christ Jesus, King and Lord of all.

(17) Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in midheaven, "Come, assemble for the great supper of God, 
(18) "so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free men and slaves, and small and great." 

Everyone who are fighting against God and His Christ: from every nation, every strato-social position, every financial standing and authoritative rank.

(19) And I saw the beast and the kings of the Earth and their armies assembled to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 

This beast who is the Antichrist dictator of the world government, and the heads of all the other nations with their armed forces, all arrayed to attack God the Son.

(20) And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. 

Wow, this Antichrist and his "priest" are both caught and cast into the lake of fire in which all who are condemned will spend eternity, while they are still alive! The leaders are removed, and the rest are slaughtered.

(21) And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh. 

And all the military people are cut to ribbons with the word of God! And the blood flows, and all the birds of prey come to clean up all the carrion spread out over the whole battlefield. 

This is the entrance of King Jesus, as He makes His Second Coming, fulfilling the rest of the prophesies that were given so long ago.

Now He will set up His rule over the world, rebuilding all the cities that were reduced to rubble, governing in perfect righteousness, aided by His bride, who are all now one with Him and dispatched over all the nations of the world. 

Being the Lord God Almighty, He will know instantly whenever anyone would begin to think of doing something unrighteous, and be called on it before he would get so far as doing anything about it. So there will be no crime anywhere. 

It will be the Golden Age this world has longed for. 

O my Father, how I long for that Golden Age, when my Lord Jesus is King on His throne and reigning in His power! 

My Father, send out Your children now, while there is still time, to blanket the world with Your Good News, that every living being will be able to hear and understand to choose to accept Your gracious and generous gift, before all the chaotic political and geographical and astrological signs come to pass, while there is still time to freely choose. 

And every eye shall see, every knee will bow, every tongue will proclaim that Jesus is our Christ, the Lord God Almighty, sovereign King over all Creation; to the everlasting glory of Almighty God the Father, for ever and ever. Amen. 

Even so, do come quickly, Lord Jesus!
