Revelation 19
Marriage of the Lamb…Armies from Heaven to destroy all sinners from the earth… The Battle of Armageddon.
The marriage is оver and the supper had been served.Then the heavens were opened. It was time for the cleansing of the earth for the glad Millennial Age.
Revelation chapter 19 Verse 11 “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.”
It was the SAME WHITE HORSE, AND THE SAME RIDER of Revelation 6:2” And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”
The Rider is Jesus the Son of God, Who leads the great Army of His Elect Saints, in the Last Day Ministry in the warfare for souls. The White Horse represents the Holy Spirit Who carried Him in the Battle.
The Elect are the engaged Bride, Who were married to Jesus in heaven. The time arrived and now once again They go out for the final battle, only this time the warfare is to destroy all flesh of men from the face of the earth, and bind the Devil and sin for a thousand years.
Revelation chapter 19 Verses 12-14
12. His eyes were as a flame of fire,and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD.
14. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN, WHITE AND CLEAN.”
Again, the Rider upon the White Horse was the Son of God, (Jesus) Whose robe was dipped in the blood from the Cross. He appeared to John while he was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day. His eyes were as a flame of Fire,and in His mouth was a sharp two-edged Sword.

Verse 14 “And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon White Horses, CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN, WHITE AND CLEAN.”
The armies which followed Him was His wedded Wife, clothed in fine linen. See verses 7 and 8 above. This same Army He led in the great Ministry of Salvation before they were taken up into heaven with the righteous dead before the marriage.
Verses 15-16
15. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
He came with His Army to smite all nations and tread the winepress, that is, to crush out the life’s blood and to set up His Kingdom on earth for a thousand years.
Verses 17-20
17. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God.
18. That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men,both free and bond, both small and great.
19. And I saw the beast,and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse,and against his army.
20. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.”
This is the Battle of Armageddon, spoken of in Revelation chapter 14 and 16. This takes place just before the 1,000 year Kingdom Reign. The Beast and False Prophet were cast into the lake of Fire. Read chapter 14 and 16
Verse 21 “And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse,which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.”……This brings an end to all sinful flesh on the earth.
Scriptures concerning the Battle of Armageddon, and the destruction of the remnant that were slain follows. Revelation 14:17-20, Revelation 16:12-21, Revelation 19:14-21, Isaiah 13, Isaiah chapter 24, Isaiah 26:20-21, Isaiah 27:1, Isaiah 34:1-8.
The Lord brings this to pass by His Spiritual Army from heaven and the“TWO-EDGED SWORD from His mouth.”
His weapon is said to be by great phenomenon’s such as, earthquakes, the Fire of God from the sun, turning the rivers to blood, thundering and lightnings, raining great hail stones upon the earth, great vials of plagues, etc. No material weapons of the earth are used.
This great battle comes to an end, the old Dragon, the Devil, the evil Spirit of the God of Sin through Lucifer the servant, is bound for a thousand years, and is loosed for a little season after the 1,000 years have been fulfilled,
Revelation 20:1-4
1. And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil,and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads,or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
