In this week’s study, I continue with Chapter 19 verses 9 thru 11. Before I get into the study, I discuss the Satanic Bible, Satanism, the 9 Satanic Statements, the 11 Satanic rules for the earth, and the 9 Satanic sins.
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.
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.
We continue our study in John’s description of the Great Marriage Supper with the Lamb.
In this verse 9, of Chapter 19, the same angel of verse 6, goes on to describe, not merely the array of the Bride, but the blessedness of those who shall be called to the marriage.
This angel was the special servant of Yahweh who showed John everything in the Book of Revelation. He acted as John’s guide through all these events and places (Revelation 22:8).
Here in Revelation 19:9, the angel had a special message which he urged John to emphasize in his book. They had now reached one of the most important events in the future: the marriage of the Lamb. The Lamb means Yahshua Messiah; his people are his bride.
That marriage will be a wonderful event. Yahweh will join them together as one (Ephesians 5:31- 32); and nothing will ever be able to separate them from The Messiah’s love (Romans 8:38-39). It will be an occasion for great joy (Revelation 19:7); Yahshua Messiah compared it to a great meal (Matthew 22:1-14; Matthew 25:10; Luke 14:15-24).
Write, "Blessed are they that are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb." = The idea of a festival, or a marriage-supper, was a familiar one to the Jews to represent the happiness of heaven, and is frequently found in the New Testament. Compare the Luke 14:15-16; 16:22; 22:16; Matthew 22:2.
And he saith to me, "These are the true words of Yahweh." = Other words YOU CAN COUNT ON IT! Confirming all by a serious declaration.
10 John must now confess to a terrible error that he made. The angels are Yahweh’s special servants. They are impressive and powerful, as such passages as Joshua 5:13-15 and Luke 2:9 show.
And I fell down at his feet to worship him. = At = the Greek should read ‘Before”. Twenty-four times is the word (pros-koo-neh'-o) (proskuneo) used in the Apocalypse for worship, and we should point out that when followed by the Accusative case it means merely to do homage or obeisance to another, as from man to man. When used with the Dative case it means to worship with Divine honor.
I am thy fellow-servant = Evidently this was an angel, and yet this angel speaks of himself as a “fellow-servant” of John. That is, he was engaged in the service of the same Yahweh; he was endeavoring to advance the same cause, and to honor the same Redeemer.
And of thy brethren = Of other Christians; for all are engaged in the same work.
That have the testimony of Yahshua Messiah = Who are witnesses for the Saviour.
For the testimony of Yahshua Messiah = The meaning here seems to be, that this angel, and John, and their fellow-servants, were all engaged in the same work that of bearing their testimony to Yahshua Messiah.
