Warrior King

Read This Week: Revelation 19

I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice, he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and his thigh, he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords. – Revelation 19:11-16 NIV

How does it all end? It is the enduring question of humanity. It is the lasting inquiry of philosophy. It is the ultimate wonder in theology and the origin of all our doubts, demands, and times we lay awake at night. People have tried to decipher what the end of the world looks like for centuries. They have looked for evidence throughout history and gone to great lengths to answer how it all resolves. This question intrigues and haunts every human being who has the ability to think and reason. Revelation 19 gives the ultimate answer. 

This chapter begins with praise and worship. The crowds of heaven celebrate the Lord for ending the existence and rule of Babylon and its evil influence. They are honoring and worshipping God’s triumph and anticipating His eternal sovereignty and supremacy. Verses 2 and 6-7 capture these scenes:

Hallelujah! Salvation and glory, and power belong to our God, for true and just are his judgments. Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory!

We see that God is prevailing and the bride of Christ is ready. The church is ready to be reclaimed and vindicated by the King of kings. Verse 10 captures John’s amazed reaction to the marriage supper of the Lamb, the Bridegroom preparing to take His bride and intercede for her one last time.

The Revelator falls on his knees in worship before the angel as an act of submission to this powerful culmination of Christ’s return. John is so overwhelmed that the angel has to tell him to get up and refocus his worship on the worthy one. He said, Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus. Imagine being so overcome with awe that you forget what you are doing. That’s how amazing God can be in our lives; we are so awestruck by His power that we lose ourselves in the majesty of the King.

Finally, this section describes the hope of a glorious ending. It ends with Jesus Christ the King, the Heavenly Warrior, returning to claim His bride, and establish His mighty reign on earth. It is the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise in John 14:3. This chapter shows the greatness of Christ in His name (v.16), the righteousness of His judgment (v.11), and as a conquering King (v.12-16). The hope of Christ and the brilliance of the end is found in the Heavenly Warrior and that He is and will forever fight for and claim His children. He has the power, authority, and capacity to not only fight but win for all time. He determines how it ends.

    Revelation Chapter 19 Verse 13
    He is dressed in a robe died by dipping and blood, and the title by which He is called is the Word of God.

    Revelation Chapter 19 Verse 14
    And the troops of heaven clothed in fine linen, dazzling and clean, followed Him on white horses.

    ~Riding With God~

    God Is Saying To Me:
    Thank you my child for being a faithful servant for me! Your work on earth is now done. You did the best you could for my kingdom. Rest in Me, with Me for all eternity! Come now and celebrate with Me, the victory ride to show my love to all that believed at Calvary. Mount up! Let’s go to the beginning of celebrations for the battle of all eternity..

    What This Means To Me:
    Believing in Christ is for eternity. It’s not a one-time event! Life will bring ups and downs, wins and losses and splendor as well as heartache, but there is nothing that can’t be accomplished when we suit up by the blood of Christ, in God’s full armor and follow Hm through everything! I can wear white linen to every event participated in the world, as long as I stay faithful to God, seek His wisdom, listen to His voice and be obedient, I too will be robed in the best suit of clothing, will have the purest breed of horse to ride and the victory of conquering the world with God, through Christ and His blood. I can feast with the greatest warriors and servants of the kingdom. The world is at my feet and I ride high with God! Thank you God for your love and plan of salvation that destroys sin. Thank you Jesus for your precious blood and thank you Holy Spirit that you intercede with me every day. ❤️❤️❤️

    God pulled my attention to Revelation 19 verse 9.

    9 Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”

    God said to me about this:

    “Trying to quantify the visions is as impossible as living those visions and trying to understand what it is like here with Me. Metaphor is a conduit for you to start to understand what the world is like and how different it is when you are with Me. What you can know for certain, My son, is that there are layers of good that would be impossible to comprehend, but know they prevail always through Me.”

    To me this shows how much Faith plays a role in our daily lives. How much good is there protecting us from evil at any given moment. God gives us what we can handle and what we are able to comprehend. Context is so crucial when reading the Revelation chapters because it allows us to glean what was being presented to John and how he interpreted it.

    This is what I got from Revelation 19. Alleluia means “Praise the Lord”. My people are to rejoice without restraint over My victory over Babylon. My people will celebrate it. The focus of worship is on My great works, especially My work of righteous judgement. Be glad and rejoice and give Me glory. Your praise should be loud and enthusiastic. Worship me with your whole heart. As Christians your duties should be done joyfully, but especially in the work of praising Me. The time has come for the Lamb of God, who is the Messiah, to be joined unto His people. In this perfect union with Jesus, My people will be clean and bright before Him. Your desire as a Christian worker is to be presented before the Lord as pure. On this day everyone will see the church for what she really is; the precious bride of Jesus. Jesus returns to earth in power and in glory. Here you see Jesus , who demands your attention and also your submission. When Jesus comes, He comes on the white horse. Faithful and true shows Jesus, a keeper of promises, including the promises of judgement. He comes as a judge and a general to make war. He judges those who reject Him. He does it all in righteousness. There are no secrets here, that Christ can’t see. My Son Jesus is the ultimate in royal authority and power.

    What this said to me is I am to worship God with my whole heart, and to be passionate and enthusiastic. When I serve people, I am to do it joyfully. I need to give Jesus my attention and my submission. I am to trust that He will lead us into victory. I want to be pure before Him. I want to continue to shed His light onto others, and to bring others to Him as we wait.
