Revelation
Chapter
19
1-2~~And
after these things
{the great judgments of ecumenical religion}
I
heard what sounded like a large roar of a large crowd in heaven,
shouting, " 'Praise the Lord'/Hallelujah {allelouia}!
Deliverance
{soteria - means deliverance and salvation}
and
glory {doxa} and power {dunamis}
belong
to our God 2~~
because
His judgments {krisis} are true {alethinos}
{actual historical events-printout of computer of divine decrees}
and
righteous {dikaios}
{divine judgment is based upon the function of divine integrity};
because
He has judged {krino}
the
great 'call-girl'/prostitute {ecumenical religion},
who
seduced the earth by means of her fornication.
{Ecumenical religion the chief agent of the cosmic evangelism in the
Tribulation},
Furthermore
. . . {He} avenged the blood
of
His servants/slaves {doulos - Tribulational Martyrs}
shed
by means of her hand."
3~~Then
a second time {deuteros} they shouted,
"
'Praise the Lord'/Hallelujah {allelouia}!"
And
so her smoke goes up forever and ever.
4~~Then
the twenty-four elders
{the staff officers of the angelic order of battle}
and
the four living creatures
{the seraph-ranked heralds from the angelic college of heralds}
fell
down and worshipped God
the
One Who is sitting on the throne
{the glorified Christ, the visible One sitting on the throne},
and
they shouted, "Amen/'We believe it' {amen}!
'Praise
the Lord'/Hallelujah {allelouia}!"
{Break
In Proclamation from the Seraph Rank King of Arms
To Announce the Wedding of the Lamb (which begins in verse 7)}
5~~Then
a voice
{RBT says this is the King of Arms - replaced the position that
Satan held before he fell - Satan was created this way. This
angel earned the title and is higher than any other angel except
maybe Michael and Gabriel}
came
{exerchomai} from the throne {thronos}, saying,
"Give
praise {aineo} to our God,
{aineo - Attic Greek word - stands out - 'to bestow praise from
your free will'}
all
of you His servants,
you
who respect/fear {phobeo} Him {Jesus Christ},
both
the small
{mikros - believers without reward - little to no doctrine in their
souls, allowed God to produce little to no divine good through
them still have resurrection bodies . . . so no regrets}
and
the great
{megas - the 'winner' believer - ECS crowd - allowed God to
produce divine good - bringing Glory to the Lord in time}."
{Note:
The bible must be interpreted based on events in the time it was
written. In the day the bible was written, most marriages were
arranged in advance by their families. The first step was a contract.
This is analogous to salvation. The second step was the when the
Groom came to the home of the bride in his best carriage and got the
bride. The third step was back at the Groom's home. His friends
(analogous to the Old Testament believers and Tribulational Martyrs)
were already inside the Groom's house partying. The friends of the
bride (analogous to the survivors of the Tribulation who are
believers and will go into the Millennial reign of Christ) wait
outside the house with lamps to light the way to the house for the
Groom and bride.}
6~~Then
I heard what sounded like {idiom} a large crowd of people
{RBT says this is the bride - Church Age believers},
and
what sounded like {idiom} many waters
{RBT says this are the friends of the Groom - OT believers and
Tribulational Martyrs would include John the Baptizer/Herald who
declared he was a friend of the Groom and was an Old Testament
believer who died before the Church Age began},
and
what sounded like {idiom} mighty peals of thunders, shouting,
{RBT says - the friends of the Bride - Tribulational Survivors}
"
'Praise the Lord'/Hallelujah {allelouia}!
Because
the Lord our God, the Omnipotent One
{pantokrator - compound word - 'all ruler' meaning all powerful one}
has
become King {basileuo - total ruler}."
{The
Wedding Feast of the Lamb Begins}
7~~"Let
us 'rejoice from an attitude of happiness' {chairo}
and
celebrate {doxa - give glory}
{the expression of maximum happiness at the marriage banquet of
the Lamb},
because
the marriage banquet of the Lamb has arrived/come
{following the second advent and the coronation of our Lord}
and
'his woman'/'the bride'
{the Body of Christ in time becomes the Bride of Christ for eternity}
has
prepared herself."
{Marriage
in Heaven Prior to 2nd Advent}
8~~"Furthermore,
it had been given to her
that
she should be clothed in fine linen . . .
{white of His righteousness - resurrection bodies}
shining
{lampros - shining - winners only - Order of the Morning Star
- Uniform of Glory - shinning like a celestial object},
but
for the rest pure/clean/'no impurities'
{katharos - no old sin nature or sin in eternity future}.
For
the fine linen {pure and possibly shinning resurrection body} is
the
'fulfillment of the justification' {dikaioma}
of
the saints/'the ones set-apart to God' {all believers}.
{First
of Two Suppers - Wedding Supper/feast}
9~~Then
he
{the teaching angel - probably the Officer of Arms again from the
college of heralds}
said
to me {the apostle John},
"Write,
'Happinesses {to}'/'Blessed {are} {makarios - plural} . . .
they
who have been invited/called {kaleo}
to
the wedding party/feast of the Lamb.' "
Also
he said to me,
"These
{doctrines of eschatology} keep on being
the
true {alethinos} doctrines/sayings {logos}
from
the source of God."
{Verses
10-14: 2nd Advent of Christ -Verse 10 Transitional Verse}
{Prophecy
of Revelation Tells us about Jesus Christ - VERY Important Book}
10~~Then
I {John} 'fell down'
{pipto - an emotional and/or impulsive type verb}
at
{emprosthen} his {teaching angel's} feet
{this angel was in human form}
to
worship {proskuneo} him
{Emotional John makes the mistake of worshiping the messenger
instead of concentrating on the message}.
And
so he said to me - to my advantage -
{rebukes CAN be beneficial}
"Don't
do it! {horao me}
{idiom: horao means 'panoramic view' with the negative 'me' -
literally 'see not'}
I
am/'keep on being' your fellow servant {sundoulos}
{both are servants of God and the Lord Jesus Christ},
along
with {kai - unusual usage of kai} your brethren
{pastors who would exist in every generation of Church history in
this dispensation and would communicate Bible doctrine}
who
have the 'doctrinal communication'/testimony {marturia}
about
Jesus
{means this angel is the angelic equivalent to pastor-teachers in
the human race}.
Worship
{proskuneo} The God! {a command}
For
{you should understand}
the
'doctrinal communication'/testimony {Old and New Testaments}
about
Jesus keeps on being
the
'spirit of'/'perceptive insight into' {pneuma}
prophecy
{propheteia}
{means the key to prophecy is the person of our Lord Jesus Christ
and He is also the central theme of eschatology}."
11~~Then
I {John} saw heaven opened,
and
behold a white horse . . .
and
He Who was mounted on it
{our Lord Jesus Christ at the Second Advent}
is
called Faithful {pistos} and True {alethinos}.
Consequently,
with justice/righteousness
{dikaiosune - 'total fulfillment of Spiritual Maturity'},
He
{Jesus Christ} will judge {krino}
and
He will make war {polemeo}.
12~~And
His eyes {ophthalmos} . . . {were} a flame of fire
{eyes normally represent knowledge - here Jesus as the righteous
Judge - Judgment at the 2nd Advent},
and
also on His head . . . {were} many crowns
{the crowns represent at least the three royal warrants - Divine;
Jewish and Battlefield Royalties (plus RBT says another unknown
crown which has to do with infinity)}
and
He has a {royal} title/name/personality/reputation {onoma}
which
has been written/recorded . . .
which
no one 'understood'/'had inherent knowledge' {oida}
except
Himself.
13~~Furthermore,
He {Jesus Christ} . . .
{was}
wearing a robe {himation}
splattered/dipped
{bapto} with blood
{result of the Armageddon Campaign}.
Now
His {royal} title/name/reputation {onoma}
has
been designated/called {kaleo}
'O
Logos Tou Theos'/'The Word of God'
{related to the Shekinah Glory that is Jesus Christ - the Originator
of Doctrine}.
14~~And
the armies {strateuma} of heaven
followed
Him on white horses . . .
clothed
with fine linen
{most prized clothing of the ancient world - represents ultimate
sanctification} . . .
white
{leukos - resurrection bodies of all believers}
and
pure/clean
{katharos - the ultimate sanctification of the eternal state - no Old
Sin Nature or Sin}.
15~~And
a sharp broadsword {rhomphaia}
comes
out of His mouth {stoma}
{the principal of freedom through military victory} . . .
in
order that, with it {the sword}
He
might 'strike with maximum violence' the '{gentile} nations'
and
He shall rule them with an iron scepter
{represents Jesus' strong authoritative rule in the Millennium}.
And
{prior to this}
He
treads down the winepress of the wine
{grapes are crushed to make wine - picture of the defeat of the
armies by Jesus}
of
the wrath . . . even the anger of God . . .
the
'Omnipotent One' {pantokrator - the all powerful ruler}.
16~~Furthermore,
He {Jesus Christ} has a royal title/name
which
has been written on His robe/'military tunic' {himation}
{common practice in this day for Royalty to do -
to have his name and or title on his outer garment}
and
on His thigh
{common practice in this day for a sculptor to engrave in silver on
his statue - this represents Jesus Christ being the Author of the
next dispensation in which He will rule - the Millennium},
King
over kings
{a reference to our Lord's sovereignty over all human rulers},
and
Lord over lords
{our Lord's sovereignty over all angelic rulers, both fallen angels and
elect angels}."
{Second
Feast - Feast of the Vultures}
17-18~~Then
I saw one {heis} angel
{meaning a unique angel - most likely the King of Arms again}
standing
in the sunlight/sunshine {helios}
{See Joel 3 to see the supernatural darkness - it is now being
replaced with sunshine which means the war is over and the
enemy has been annihilated}
and
he shouted with a loud voice
saying
to all the birds that fly in mid-air/
'middle
of the heavens'{mesouranema}
{the carrion eating birds - vultures, ravens, eagles, hawks},
"Come
and gather to the great feast/banquet from The God . . 18~~
in
order that you {the carrion eating birds}
may
eat the corpses/flesh {sarx} of kings
{basileus - starting at the top and working down - the world rulers
mentioned first},
the
corpses of general officers
{chiliarchos - 'commanders of 1000' and used for 1000 or more so
would be the general officers here},
the
corpses of the mighty
{ischuros - here being used for company grade (lieutenants,
Captains) and field grade (Majors Lt. Colonels and Colonels)},
both
the corpses of horses and their riders
{represents the mechanized troops - so horses would also include
destruction of tanks, and troop carriers etc.}.
In
fact the corpses of all free {eleutheros} and slaves {doulos}
{here in context would represent the freely enlisted men and the
draftees} . . .
both
small and great
{again in context, this would be all soldiers - those without rank
and those with high rank}.
19~~Then
I {John} saw the beast {dictator} {therion}
{dictator of the Revived Roman Empire -
one of the two chief co-agitators} ,
and
the kings of the earth and their armies
who
had been concentrated to make war
against
Him {Jesus Christ}
Who
is mounted on the horse
{our Lord Jesus Christ at the 2nd Advent}
and
against His army
{Army Group A - Elect Angels
Army Group B - Royal Family of God - Church Age Believers
Army Group C - Family of God - Old Testament Believers and
Tribulational Martyrs}.
{Judgment
of the Satanic Conspirators/Co-Agitators}
20~~Then
the beast {dictator}
was
seized {Dictator of the Revived Roman Empire},
and
with him the false prophet {Jewish Dictator and False Messiah}
who
performed miracles 'in his presence'/'before him'
{indicates demonic activities - Principal again of the Power of the
Word over the Power of the Fantastic/Miraculous - what the Word
says is what is real} ,
by
which {the demonic powered miracles}
he
had deceived those who received the mark of the beast
{which indicated their volitional choice to join this ecumenical
religion - computerized tyranny - whereby they received all the
'apparent benefits' of doing so - strong business, strong
social life, wealth - even life verses death - all you have to do is
turn your back on God!},
even
those who worshipped his idol
{represents the idolatry which is part of the Phallic Cult (the Great
Whore) - idolatry - which is being unfaithful to God - sex in
idolatry - unfaithfulness to God and your spouse - and human
sacrifice which is always an abomination. And this idol is called
the abomination of desolation.}
Though
still alive,
these
two were thrown into the lake of fire burning with sulphur.
{Note:
These two will be the ONLY creatures in the Lake of Fire for the
1000 years of the reign of Christ. And, this verse says they do not
go to Hades first - as unbelievers who die physically would.}
{Guests
of the Second Banquet Filled to the Maximum}
21~~And
the rest {all the unbelievers of the world - the kings, their
armies on and on this is the parable where the tares are removed
and the wheat remains - only believers go into a new 'civilization'
and the Millennium is also a new civilization}
were
slaughtered with the sword
{these souls will head to Hades for 1000 years}
of
Him Who that sat on the horse . . .
which
sword proceeded out of His mouth,
then
all the birds {orneon - birds that ate carrion in context here}
were
gorged/'filled to the maximum' {chortazo}
from
eating their flesh/corpses {sarx}.
