Revelation Chapter Nineteen Breakdown


1 After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God!

After seeing all that comes with the whore of Babylon John hears a mass of voices crying out from heaven.

2 For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”

The crowd proclaims YHWH’s judgements on Babylon. They say His vengeance came because she shed the blood of His servants.

3 Again they said, “Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!”

Isaiah 34:8-12
For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, The year of recompense for the cause of Zion. Its streams shall be turned into pitch, And its dust into brimstone; Its land shall become burning pitch. It shall not be quenched night or day; Its smoke shall ascend forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; No one shall pass through it forever and ever. But the owl and the hedgehog shall possess it, Also the owl and the raven shall dwell in it. And He shall stretch out over it The line of confusion and the stones of emptiness. They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, But none shall be there, and all its princes shall be nothing.

This is an interesting comparison between these two passages. The entire chapter from Isaiah is in reference to the nations of the world who are against Israel. But then gets specific about Edom and Bozrah. These both border on Saudi Arabia, which is what I have been speaking about for some time. Now, considering these places are deserts and have access to oil it also makes sense. Pitch is a solid form of petroleum oil, similar to tar. The word streams does not mean, or have to mean rivers. The Hebrew is  Strong's H5158 – nachal and it could mean,  a shaft (of a mine), in other words, into the rocks, caves, and wholes of the ground.

Isaiah 2:19
They shall go into the holes of the rocks, And into the caves of the earth, From the terror of the Lord And the glory of His majesty, When He arises to shake the earth mightily.

4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!”

John sees the 24 elders as well as the four creatures again, worshipping YHWH.

5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!”

John hears from the throne.

6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!

The crowd again praises YHWH.

7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”

It is clear from this, the marriage between Messiah and the Bride (believers) does not take place until after the destruction of Babylon.

8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

The bride only can be displayed in fine linen. The fine linen is the righteous deeds, and the Bride is the assembly of the saints.

9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”

John is told those who are called to the marriage are blessed. But it is likely these are not the same as the Bride.

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

John attempts to worship the angel, but is told not to do so. We are then told, Yeshua’s testimony is the spirit of prophecy.

11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

John sees heaven open and Yeshua coming on a white horse. He comes to make war and judgements.

12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.

John gives a description of Yeshua.

13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

Isaiah 63:1-3
Who is this who comes from Edom, With dyed garments from Bozrah, This One who is glorious in His apparel, Traveling in the greatness of His strength?—“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.” Why is Your apparel red, And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress? “I have trodden the winepress alone, And from the peoples no one was with Me. For I have trodden them in My anger, And trampled them in My fury; Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, And I have stained all My robes.

John sees Yeshua now, after He has already begun His wars. His robe is dipped in the blood of the Edomites and from Bozrah. This fits exactly with what was stated previously. This means, John is seeing Yeshua on His way to fight the rest of the Antichrist army, after Babylon is destroyed.

14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.

Heavens army is coming quickly behind Yeshua.

15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

Yeshua will destroy the nations with His sword. He will then rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Yeshua is YHWH in the flesh and brings the His wrath.

16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

He is named, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. What is interesting about this is a verse from Islam.

Sahih al-Bukhari Book 73 Hadith 224
Allah’s Apostle said, “The most awful name in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection, will be (that of) a man calling himself Malik Al-Amlak (the king of kings).

17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”

An angel calls out to all the birds to come eat the dead bodies of all those who fight against Yeshua.

19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.

John sees all the beast’s armies coming together against Yeshua.

20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. 
These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

During the battle the beast and the antichrist, who I believe to be the false prophet, are captured and thrown into the lake of fire.

21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Every other human who fought for the Antichrist were killed and the birds feed on their dead bodies.
One main thing we can take away from this is the Whore of Babylon is definitely destroyed before the war with the antichrist takes place. The whore will be in the vicinity of Saudi Arabia, if not within her boarders 100% as I have suggested.
