Revelation 18:4 - And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
And I heard another sound from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people. This will be the call of God during the Tribulation Period. Come out of her, that is, this harlot, this system, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues. So, he says come out of her so that you will not be caught in this judgment.
Revelation 18:6 - Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
She's going to receive double judgment because of what she did to the saints. And this is the prostitute, the whore. The religious system.
Revelation 18:14 - And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
And the fruits that your soul lusted after are departed from you. Interesting. These are all the things that people lusted after that the antichrist's system gave to them if they would just bow down and worship the image.
Revelation 18:23 - And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Interesting, it's called sorcery. Intoxication of the mind is a sorcery. And all the nations are deceived by satanic philosophy and the way of the world.
Revelation 19:12 - 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.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and we saw that in his vision in Chapter 1 Verses 9 through 18. Flame of fire in scripture always represents judgment.
And on His head were many crowns; Here, the word is DIADEMS, for the royal crown. He is King of all kings, and Lord of all lords. So, He has many crowns.
Revelation 19:14 - And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, and that would be us, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Revelation 19:15 - 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.
And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron:
We see this in Psalm 2:8-9. He's going to rule them with a rod of iron. And He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
What the bible is now picturing for us is actually what is being prepared right now, a large wine vat, and the grapes of wrath are being put into this vat. And what they used to do is they would get in with their feet and trample on the grapes until the juice comes out.
And so, our time is being depicted as a time when you're throwing the grapes in the vat, and when the vat is full, the Lord Himself will come and trample down the winepress with the fierceness of His wrath.
Revelation 19:11 - 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.
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 does judge and make war. In other words, the emphasis is that everything the Lord does is in righteousness. He makes war, and He judges, and it's all righteous.
Please notice, because this is what I alluded to back in Chapter 6 Verses 1 and 2 at the breaking of the first seal, because remember there was a white horse that came out, and the one sitting upon it had a bow in his hand. And he went out to conquer those upon the earth.
And for many years, scholars believed that was a picture of the second coming of Christ. But I showed you how it lines up in Mark Chapter 13. The first four phases that Jesus gave was the revelation of the false messiahs.
The red horse was the wars and rumors of wars. The black horse was the famine. And the pale green horse was death, either by the beasts of the land, or people, or earthquakes, or various events.
That person back in Revelation 6:1-2, he came on a white horse, but he had a bow. He didn't have a sword. His crown was a STEPHANOS, a wreath, where the Lord here, He's going to have DIADEMS, not one, but many.
So, the white horses match, but everything else is different. And that's why Revelation 6:1-2 is not the revelation of Christ at His second coming. This here is the second coming. That was the representation of the false messiah.
Here Christ comes on a white horse. And He was called faithful and true. And in righteousness He does judge and make war.
Revelation 19:4 - And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God who sat upon the throne, saying, Amen; Again, that's from the Hebrew which means so be it. They said Amen; Alleluia.
Revelation 19:6 - And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
The Greek word for omnipotent (PANTOKRATOR) means the almighty. He reigns!
Revelation 19:8 - And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white:
The word white is the word LAMPROS which means bright. Clean and white: for fine linen is the righteousness of saints. So, we as His bride, we will be clothed in white, fine linen. And notice that this is all taking place in heaven. We are there!
Revelation 19:10 - And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
The entire message of the Tanak (the Old Testament), and the entire message of the New Testament is the testimony of Jesus Christ. The book of Revelation is part of the testimony of Jesus Christ. It is all part of the testimony of Jesus Christ. It is not centered on us. Every message and every teaching is centered on Jesus Christ.
When we are taught from the New Testament, we're taught because we belong to Christ. So, my testimony should give honor to His testimony to who He is. And that's the whole message of scripture.
Revelation 19:1 - And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
And after these things I heard a voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia;
There is no Greek word for the word Hallelujah. It is a transliteration in Greek for the Hebrew that means praise YAH, HALLELU, and then YAH, which is God's name in the Old Testament, YAHWEH.
It is interesting that the Greek just transliterates the Hebrew, and we just transliterate it from the Greek. But it means give praise or worship to YAH.
Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Revelation 19:2 - For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
For true and righteous are His judgments:
What an attitude now from before when believers were wanting to know where's the victory?
True and righteous are His judgments. And I emphasize to you that as we move through the various stages of judgment, that sometimes a fourth, or a third of people or things were destroyed at various times in the judgment period.
It would seem to some that God was inflicting a slow death just to make them be tormented. But in reality, as I pointed out to you in these different sections, God was only destroying a few so that it would give the rest of the people a chance to repent.
Even during the Tribulation Period, there's going to be a time when God is going to allow people to repent, but John repeats over and over again, they refuse to repent of all of their evil, and all of their wickedness, so that in the end when it is all destroyed, we can say for true and righteous are His judgments!
For He has judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of His servants at her hand.
Revelation 18:4 - And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
