Revelation 19:11-17 — The Last War
Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True, and with justice he judges and makes war. His eyes were like a fiery flame, and many crowns were on his head. He had a name written that no one knows except himself. He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God.
The armies that were in heaven followed him on white horses, wearing pure white linen. A sharp sword came from his mouth, so that he might strike the nations with it. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will also trample the winepress of the fierce anger of God, the Almighty. And he has a name written on his robe and on his thigh: King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
This describes the second coming of Christ and the final battle against Satan.
Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he called out in a loud voice, saying to all the birds flying high overhead, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of military commanders, the flesh of the mighty, the flesh of horses and of their riders, and the flesh of everyone, both free and slave, small and great.”
There are two feasts and two destinations for everyone:
We will either be at the table, as the bride of Christ — salvation.
Or we will be on the table, as the main course — damnation.
Revelation 20 — Christ’s reign and your fate
Then I saw thrones, and people seated on them who were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and who had not accepted the mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed.
This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.
Premil — Jesus comes before 1,000 years of peace on earth.
Postmil — Jesus comes after 1,000 years peace on earth.
Amil — 1,000 years is symbolic, representing the time between the 1st and 2nd coming.
1st Death — Bodily death
1st Resurrection — Spiritual resurrection, living souls in temporary heaven (Paradise)
2nd Death — Spiritual death (Hell), comes with 2nd coming judgment.
2nd Resurrection — Bodily resurrection, eternal life, comes with 2nd coming judgment.
Revelation 21-22 — All things New, not all new things
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I also saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
Then I heard a loud voice from the throne: Look, God’s dwelling is with humanity, and he will live with them. They will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them and will be their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; grief, crying, and pain will be no more, because the previous things have passed away.
Then he said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near. Let the unrighteous go on in unrighteousness; let the filthy still be filthy; let the righteous go on in righteousness; let the holy still be holy.”
“Look, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me to repay each person according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
He who testifies about these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Jesus, we pray that you return soon. You are the alpha and omega. You are the king of kings, and the Lord of Lords. You have given me new life now , and will raise me to life again when you return. I submit my life to you here and now and forever. Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with everyone. Amen.
