Revelation 19:1-21

Contents: Parenthetical chapter on what is taking place in heaven while the Tribulation rages. The alleluias, marriage of the Lamb, second coming in glory, Armageddon, doom of the beast, False Prophet, and kings.

Conclusion: During those days when the wrath of God is poured out upon the earth, the Bride of Christ will in heaven celebrate the long looked for marriage festivities, and arrayed in her cleansed garments shall be eternally united with Him Who is to be recognized in all the universe, and for all time, as King of King and Lord of Lords. When He comes forth to make an end of all evil, His Bride shall come with Him, associated in judgment, and later to rule with Him.

Strong Verses: Revelation 19:5; Revelation 19:7; Revelation 19:8; Revelation 19:9.

Striking Facts: Revelation 19:11-16. We have here a vision of the departure from heaven of Christ with His saints (previously caught up to be with Him 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) and with His angels preparatory to the catastrophe in which all world powers shall be smitten (Daniel 2:34-35). On Christ's head here we see many crowns («diadems») (cf. Revelation 14:14) for the hour is now at hand when He is to be exalted and enthroned in His Kingdom, to «sit upon the throne of His father David.»
