And I seemed to hear
the voices of a great multitude
and the sound of many waters
and of loud peals of thunder, which said:
“Hallelujah!
Because our God the Lord Omnipotent
has begun His reign.
Let us rejoice and triumph
And give Him the glory;
For the marriage day of the Lamb has come,
And His Bride has made herself ready.”
She has been allowed to robe herself
in fine linen of dazzling purity--
the fine linen being the righteous actions of the saints.
And he said to me,
“Blessed are those
who have been invited
to the marriage banquet of the Lamb.”
And he added, still addressing me,
“These are truly the words of God.”
Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he exclaimed,
“Do not do that.
I am a fellow servant of yours,
and a fellow servant of your brethren
who hold fast the truth revealed by Jesus.
For the truth revealed by Jesus
is the inspiration of all prophecy.
Then I saw a door open in heaven,
and a white horse appeared.
It’s rider was named
“Faithful and True”
One who in righteousness
executes judgment and wages war.
His eyes were like a flame of fire,
and on His head were many kingly crowns,
and He has a name written upon Him
which no one knows but He Himself.
He is clad in raiment which had been dipped in blood,
and His name is
The armies in heaven followed Him--
mounted on white horses
and clothed in fine linen, white and spotless.
From His mouth there comes a sharp sword
with which He will smite the nations;
and He will Himself be their shepherd,
ruling them with a scepter of iron;
and it is His work to
tread the winepress of the fierce anger of God,
the ruler of all.
And on His raiment and on His thigh
He has a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS
And I saw an angel standing in the sun,
who cried in a loud voice
to all the birds that flew across the sky,
“Come and be present at God’s great banquet,
that you may feast on:
the flesh of kings
and the flesh of generals
and the flesh of mighty men
on the flesh of horses and their riders
and on the flesh of all mankind,
whether free men or slaves, great or small.”
And I saw
the Wild Beast, vs. The Rider upon the horse
and the kings
of the earth, and His army
and their armies,
all assembled to make war
And the Wild Beast was captured,
and with him the false prophet
who had done the miracles in his presence
with which he had led astray
those who had received the mark of the Wild Beast
and worshiped his statue.
Both of them were thrown alive
into the lake of fire
that was all ablaze with sulfur.
But the rest were killed with the sword
that came from the mouth of the rider on the horse.
And the birds all fed ravenously upon their flesh.
The Wedding of the Lamb (1-10)
19:1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying,
“Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to our God!
- “The already but not quite yet” – George Ladd
- John hears the heavenly hosts rejoicing over the downfall of Babylon; and yet her downfall was not complete, till the
battle, recorded in verses 19-21, and chapter 20:1-3, was fought. After this battle and the binding of satan, the blissful
Millennial reign of Christ begins (W)
- Alleluia! – Hallelujah – this expression in Hebrew means “Praise ye the Lord!” (W)
- Alleluia! – with this they begin, with this they go on, and with they end (MH)
- Alleluia! – Praise ye Jah – Jah is not a contraction of Jehovah, as it sometimes occurs jointly with the latter. It means
“He who is”; whereas Jehovah is “He who will be, is, and was”. (JFB)
- The collapse of godless rebellion and oppression on earth gives rise to jubilation in heaven (Z)
References: Revelation 4:11; 7:10; 11:15; 19:3, 4, 6; Jeremiah 51:48 (Then heaven and earth and all that is in them will shout for joy over
Babylon, for the destroyers will come to her from the north, declares the Lord); Psalm 104:35 (Let sinners be consumed from the earth, and let
the wicked be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul. Praise the Lord!)
19:2 “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.”
- Throughout the endless day of eternity the Lord Jesus shall himself speak the Father’s praise and shall put marked
emphasis on his ‘righteousness’ – that righteousness which shall have been exhibited, both in the doom of those who hated
the offered Redeemer, and in the salvation of those who received Him. On that day we shall be able to understand how
Samuel could hew Aga in pieces, and the godly hosts of Israel slay utterly in Canaan man and woman and child, at God’s
command. We shall be able, not only fully to agree in the doom, “Let them be confounded’, etc., but even to sing, “Amen,
Hallelujah”, over the smoke of torment. (Treasury of David, page 146, AB)
- Shed by her – from her hand (NAS)
- Instead of opposing and lessening, she promoted the sinful life and decay of the world by her own earthliness,
allowing the salt to lose it savor (JFB)
References: Deuteronomy 32:43 (Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and render vengeance to

Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel)
19:3 Again they said, “Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!”
• Forever and ever – literally, “into the ages of the ages”; a phrase expressive of the longest duration known to the
Greek language. (W)

the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!”

The Marriage Song Begins
The Marriage of the Lamb
19:6 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 our Lord God Omnipotent reigns!
- This Almighty never trusts the reins of the government of the universe out of His hands (AC)
References: Ezekiel 1:24 (When they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a
tumult like the noise of an army; and when they stood still, they let down their wings.); Revelation 1:8, 15; 6:1; 11:15; 19:1; Jeremiah 51:48 (Then
heaven and earth and all that is in them will shout for joy over Babylon, for the destroyers will come to her from the north, declares the Lord)
Marriage Supper of the Lamb
19:7 “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.”
- This is the culmination of human history—the judgment of the wicked and the marriage feast of the Lamb and His bride,
the church. (LB)
- As all the redeemed are not yet assembled, this marriage of the Lamb may relate only to that portion of the saved,
who had yielded their lives to Him, and had been developed into His image; or, in other words, the overcomers, who belong
to the ruling force in the Millennial reign. It may also include “the wise virgins”. (W)
- Some think of the Second Coming of Jesus as only consisting of the rapture of the church. They think only of Jesus
appearing in the sky to catch up His people to return to heaven. The rapture is an event within a larger series of
events that can be referred to as the “Second Coming Process”
- Wife – bride (NAS)
- The imagery of a wedding to express the intimate relationship between God and His people has its roots
in the prophetic literature of the OT (NIV)
References: Matthew 1:20 (….do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit);
Matthew 22:2 (The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son); 25:10 (And while they went to buy, the
bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.); Revelation 11:13; 19:9; 21:2, 9;
Luke 12:36 (And be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the
door to him when he comes and knocks); John 3:29 (He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and
hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. And so this joy of mine has been made full); Ephesians 5:23 (For the husband is
the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body), 32 (This mystery is great; but I am speaking
with reference to Christ and the church)
19:8 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 righteous deeds of Spirit-filled Christians seem to form a sort of garment by which they are to be distinguished (W)
- A description of the bride, how she appeared (MH)
- These her nuptial ornaments she did not purchase by any price of her own, but received them as the grant of her
blessed Lord (MH)
- Though in one sense she ‘made herself ready’, having by the Spirit’s work in her put on ‘the wedding garment’, yet in
the fullest sense it is not she, but her Lord, who makes her ready by ‘granting to her that she be arrayed in fine linen’. (JFB)
- Saints – true believers – holy ones (NAS)
- The justification already given to the saints in title and unseen possession, is now given them in manifestation; they
openly walk with Christ in white. (JFB)

you with silk); Psalm 132:9 (Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let Your saints shout for joy); Revelation 15:4, 6; 19:14
19:9 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.”
• Most marriages, besides the bridegroom and the bride, have attendants or honored guests (W)
• The ‘great supper of God’ is in grim contrast with the marriage supper of the Lamb (TB)
• At the Marriage Supper, individuals are spoken of as guests; but collectively they are called the Bride (HBH)
• The marriage supper of John’s day would begin on the evening of the wedding, but might continue for days. (NCBH)
References: Luke 14:15 (Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, “Blessed is he who shall eat

17:1, 17; 21:5; 22:6
19:10 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’s mistake was the considering that he was under obligation to the angel for the information which he had now
received. (AC)
- To worship any person or object other than God is a form of idolatry (NCBH)
- As you read the book of Revelation, don’t get bogged down in all the details of the awesome visions; remember that
the overarching theme in all the visions is the ultimate victory of Jesus Christ over evil. (LB)

Christ on a White Horse
Second Coming of Christ
19:11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called
And in righteousness He judges and makes war.
- Heaven opened – indicating that further communications were yet to be made (W)
- John had insights beyond earthly reasoning, events and circumstances. (TB)
- He is riding out of heaven to deal with the situation on earth. He’s coming on a horse which is always a symbol of
military aggression. It says quite specifically that He is coming to make war. He will bring the big trouble to a speedy end.
It is called “The Perusia” – the arrival of a royal visitor that is to be met. (DP)
- When the security of the world power, and the distress of the people of God, have reached the highest point, the Lord
Jesus shall appear visibly from heaven to put an end to the whole course of the world, and establish His kingdom of glory.
He comes to judge with vengeance the world power, and to bring to the Church redemption, transfiguration, and power over
the world (JFB)
- His equipage: a white horse (MH)
- Faithful and True are characters of Christ (AC)
- Because He is faithful, He cannot allow His people to struggle alone. Because He is true, He must bring truth to
victory (TB)
- Jesus came first as a Lamb to be a sacrifice for sin, but He will return as a Conqueror and King to execute judgment.
His first coming brought forgiveness, His second will bring judgment. The battle lines have now been drawn between God
and evil, and the world is waiting for the King to ride onto the field. (LB)
- This verse answers the question asked about the beast in 13:4: “Who is able to make war with him?” Christ can
defeat him. (NCBH)
References: Isaiah 11:4 (But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the
earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked); John 1:51 (And He said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you,
you shall see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man”); Revelation 3:7, 14; 4:1; 6:2; 15:5;
19:19, 21
19:12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a names written
and that no one knew except Himself.
- Many crowns – to denote the multitude of His conquests and the extent of His dominion (AC)
- Many crowns – diadems – not merely garlands of victory, but royal crowns (JFB)
- A name no one knew – This is a reference to what the rabbins call the tetragrammaton, YHVH; or what we call
“Jehovah”. This name the Jews never attempt to pronounce; when they meet with it in the bible, they read ‘Adonai’ for
it. (AC)
- No name can do Him justice. He is greater than any description or expression the human mind can devise for
Him. (LB)
- A secret name whose meaning is veiled from all created beings (NIV)
- John saw it as written but knew not its meaning (JFB)
Means that there are sacred secrets that only God knows (NCBH)
References: Revelation 1:14; 2:17; 6:2: 12:3; 19:16
19:13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
- The only two books He is called this is in John’s gospel and in Revelation. (DP)
- His armour: a vesture dipped in blood. His name: The Word of God – a name that none fully knows buy Himself (MH)
- This is not His own blood this time. This is a mark of a fighter: those He is killing. He is coming with the wrath of God
against evil; this is the source of the song “Battle Hymn of the Republic”. Jesus is coming back as a fighter and a killer. That
will be a dreadful shock to the world if they have been brought up with the usual Sunday school teaching of the gentle
Jesus. (DP)
- This blood probably refers to the blood He had shed for the redemption of His people, whose enemies He is now
about to punish with a signal overthrow. Or it may refer to blood spattered upon Him in battle, prophetic of the battle soon
to be fought (W)
- Dipped in blood – to show that He was just come from recent slaughter (AC)
References: Isaiah 63:2, 3 (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 1:1 (In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God.), 14 (And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of
grace and truth.)
19:14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in pure white linen, white and clean, followed Him on white
horses.
- They are mature warriors, not novices in spiritual warfare. This is a military picture of the extravagant protection of
highly skilled warriors. It means extravagant protection on the way to the wedding feast.
- Armies – the multitudes of His redeemed followers, and possibly also some of the angels (W)
- There are three types of people on earth when Jesus appears in the sky: the redeemed who will be raptured during
Jesus’ worldwide procession across the sky; the reprobate who took the mark of the beast and will be judged and then
killed; and the resistors who are unsaved (both Jews and Gentiles) who refused to worship the antichrist

in war. Every man has his sword on his thigh because of fear in the night); Revelation 3:4; 14:20; 19:8
19:15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp two-edged 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.
- The weapons of His warfare: a sharp sword proceeding from His mouth (MH)
- The sword symbolizes the irresistible power of His word of judgment and grace (Z)
- Rule – shepherd (NAS)
- Rod of iron – He shall execute the severest judgment on the opposers of His truth (AC)
- Treads the winepress – As the grapes are trodden to express the juice, so His enemies shall be bruised and beaten,
so that their life’s blood shall be poured out (AC)
- Wine press of the wine of His fierce wrath (NAS)

earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked); Psalm 2:8, 9 (Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations
for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like

anger, and trampled them in My fury; their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, and I have stained all My robes. For the day of vengeance is
in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come. I looked, but there was no one to help, and I wondered that there was no one to uphold;
therefore My own arm brought salvation for Me; and My own fury, it sustained Me. I have trodden down the peoples in My anger, made them
drunk in My fury, and brought down their strength to the earth.”); Psalm 45:3 (Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, With Your glory
and Your majesty.); SOS 3:8 (They all hold swords, being expert in war. Every man has his sword on his thigh because of fear in the night);

Revelation 1:16; 2:27; 14:19, 20; 19:21
19:16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
- The ensigns of His authority: His coat of arms (MH)
- His name written partly on the vesture and partly on the thigh itself, at the part where in an equestrian figure the robe
drops from the thigh. The thigh symbolizes Christ’s humanity as having come, after the flesh, from the loins of David, and now
appearing as the glorified “Son of Man’. (JFB)
- It has been conjectured that Hebrew or Aramic has inadvertently replaced an original word and is ‘banner’. (Z)
- King of kings and Lord of lords – this name of universal dominion, and world dominion is His (Z)
References: Daniel 2:47 (The king answered Daniel, and said, “Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets,
since you could reveal this secret.”); Revelation 2:17; 17:14; 19:12
The Beast and His Armies Defeated
19:17 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 supper of God,
- An angel – one (NAS)
- Standing in the sun – from which vantage point he can be heard by all the birds of the air (Z)
- This “supper of the Great God” is a grim contrast to the wedding banquet of the Lamb. One is a celebration; the
other, devastation. (LB)
- The battle of Armageddon, once joined, is quickly won; the powers that militated against God and His people suffer
final and irreparable destruction (Z)
References: Ezekiel 39:17 (And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, ‘Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field:
“Assemble yourselves and come; gather together from all sides to My sacrificial meal which I am sacrificing for you, a great sacrificial meal on
the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood.); Jeremiah 12:9 (Is My inheritance like a speckled bird of prey to Me? Are the
birds of prey against her on every side? Go, gather all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour!); 1 Samuel 17:44 (The Philistine also said to
David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field); Isaiah 34:6 (The sword of the Lord is filled with
blood, it is sated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great
slaughter in the land of Edom); Jeremiah 46:10 (For the day belongs to the Lord God of hosts, a day of vengeance, so as to avenge Himself on
His foes; and the sword will devour and be satiated and drink its fill of their blood; for there will be a slaughter for the Lord God of hosts, in the land
of the north by the River Euphrates); Revelation 8:13; 19:21
19:18 “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, both free and slave, both small and
great.”
- The repetition of ‘flesh’ (in the Greek it is plural; masses of flesh) five times in this verse, marks the gross carnality
of the followers of the beast. (JFB)
- Captains – commanders – chiliarchs – in command of one thousand troops (NAS)
References: Ezekiel 39:18-20 (You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams and lambs, of goats and
bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan. You shall eat fat till you are full, and drink blood till you are drunk, at My sacrificial meal which I am
sacrificing for you. You shall be filled at My table with horses and riders, with mighty men and with all the men of war”, says the Lord God.);
Revelation 6:15; 11:18; 13:16; 19:5
19:19 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.
- The kings of the earth – confederated under the beast, and subservient to his will. These vast armies, led on by
satan, venture to fight against Christ and His army. This beast is the same as “the man of sin” – “the son of perdition” who
exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped. This is also the antichrist, who will deny the The Father and
the Son (W)
- The battle lines are drawn, and the greatest confrontation in the history of the world is about to begin. The antichrist
and the false prophet have gathered the governments and armies of the earth under the antichrist’s rule. They believe they
have come of their own volition; in reality, god has summoned them to battle in order to defeat them. There really is no fight,
however, because the victory was won when Jesus died on the cross for sin and rose from the dead. Thus the evil leaders
are immediately captured and sent to their punishment, and the forces of evil are all annihilate. (LB)
References: Revelation 11:7; 13:1; 16:13-16; 19:11, 21
19:20 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.
- The two evil men will be defeated; the beast will be captured. He only operates in full power for 3 ½ years. Even
the judgment on the false prophet is linked to taking this mark – that is how serious God takes it and how serious
this mark is.
To the Lord this is not a small thing. Taking the mark is a paramount issue.
- In his presence – by his authority (NAS)
- Alive – a living death; not mere annihilation (JFB)
References: Daniel 7:11 (I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was
slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame.); Isaiah 30:33 (For Topheth has long been ready, indeed, it has been prepared for
the king. He has made it deep and large, a pyre of fire with plenty of wood; the breath of the Lord, like a torrent of brimstone, sets it afire);
Revelation 13:8, 12, 13, 15, 16; 14:10; 16:13; 20:10, 14; 21:8
19:21 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.
- The world at the highest development of its material and spiritual power is but a decorated carcass round which the
eagles gather. (JFB)
