In this week’s study, I continue with Chapter 19 verses 12 thru 16. Before I get into the study, I discuss the Albert Pike and how he states that Lucifer is their light giver. I define Lucifer and how the Global Elite under his leadership.
Chapter 19 continues and concludes the final period of events, which is called the bowl period. After the bowl introduction in chapters 12-15, the bowl events began in chapter 16, where we saw all seven bowl events described. However as explained there, chapter 16 was not the conclusion of the bowls. Rather, the description of the bowl period continued into chapters 17 and 18 where the bowl interlude was presented.
Here in chapter 19, the bowls continue with a resumption of the seventh bowl event. That is, chapter 19 picks up where we left off at the end of chapter 16. The sixth bowl event in Rev 16:12-16 described nations gathering at Armageddon to make war against Yahweh, and then the seventh bowl event began in Rev 16:17-21 with an enormous earthquake and hail storm. However, it curiously never mentioned the outcome of the war. That glaring deficiency is resolved here in chapter 19.
This chapter describes the conclusion of Yahweh’s wrath on earth, and it must be considered part of the seventh bowl because Rev 15:1 stated that Yahweh’s wrath would be finished in the bowls.
In our last study we finished in verse 11 where John saw a new vision, as if an opening were made through the sky, and he was permitted to look into heaven. Remember when we read in Chapter 4:1; “After this I looked and behold ‘a door was opened in heaven”.
John does not tell us who the ruler of heaven’s armies is. However, there is never really any uncertainty. Yahweh’s people know who leads them (John 10:1-10). They know that Yahshua Messiah alone can save them.
So John continues his special description of The Messiah as the judge and the leader of heaven’s armies. The description of The Messiah’s eyes is the same as in the earlier description (Revelation 1:14). They burn like fire; he sees everything, he knows everything. Nobody can stand against him.
Yahshua Messiah wears many diadems. The diadem was a band that went round a king’s hat. So, The Messiah’s diadems show his royal rank and his great authority.
14 A ruler shows his power by means of the army that he commands. In the same manner, Yahshua Messiah leads heaven’s armies into this last great battle. These are not armies of men, but of spirits; they are the angels, Yahweh’s special servants. They will fight this battle upon the earth, but their principal enemy is also a spirit and not a man. That enemy is the devil, Satan and the purpose of this battle is to defeat all his evil forces. However, we may ask why Yahshua Messiah needs an army to support him. He is Yahweh, so he has all power. So he could fight and win this battle alone, without any help from anyone.
15 John continues his special description of Yahshua Messiah as the ruler of heaven’s armies.
A ruler’s greatest power is in the power of his words. He achieves things by his commands. That is also true about Yahweh. It was by his word that Yahweh created all things (Genesis chapter 1). It will be by his word that Yahshua Messiah will defeat the devil and all his forces (Revelation 19:21).
That is the meaning of the sword from the Messiah’s mouth, both here and in Revelation 1:16. Yahweh’s word has great power (Hebrews 4:12). Unlike the words of a human ruler, however, Yahweh does not depend on anyone else’s strength to carry out his purposes. Yahweh’s word is enough. Even when Yahshua Messiah was on earth, the power of his words astonished people (Matthew 8:8; Mark 1:27; Mark 4:39-41).
