We shall finish our look at "the Righteous Judge or the Rider on a White Horse." But then we shall within the notes of the chapter's discoveries look into them with more intent and purpose than many of the past have done! Why? Because of our redeemed restored mindset of the heavenly kind, no longer the earthbound. There is a bunch of old twice dead stale air of religious imagination of the wrong mindset gathered from all the lack of knowledge of the LORD GOD is why. Which requires a hurricane force and size of clear clean breath of air to clear away the deadness of false teachings as we have seen over our short life span of 73 years. This will reveal the flesh as our food or bread and the blood as our true drink that is the meat of the Vine of which we are the fruit thereof.
"The Righteous Judge or The Rider on a White Horse."
Revelation 19:19-21 "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. 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. 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." (KJV)
Revelation 19:19-21 "And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh." (ESV)
Revelation 19:19-21 "And I saw the beast in alliance with the kings of the earth muster their armies to engage in a [1]once-for-al war against the One seated on the horse and His army! (The idea of a once-for-all war is implied by the Aorist Infinitive tense of the verb (G4160 translated as make [make war]), poiesai. [Weymouth] This is the Aorist active Infinitive which indicates prior completion of an action in relationship to a point in time. Greek infinitives could have either a present or Aorist form. The contrast between the two forms is not necessarily one of time, it is a difference of aspects. The Present Infinitive was used to express progressive or imperfection aspect. It pictures the action expressed by the verb as being in progress. The Aorist Infinitive however, does not express progressive aspect. It presents the action expressed by the verb as a completed unit with a beginning and an end.
This is an important fact since there are numerous references to the same "once and for all war" in the heavens! It is however the same hour; The same event! Rev. 13:7, 16:13-14, 17:13-14 and 20:8.) And the beast and the miracle working Puppet Partner, the False Prophet were arrested and cast into the Lake ablaze with Sulphur. These two were the ones who were empowered by the Dragon to amaze and deceive those who were tattooed in their heads and hands with the character of the Beast and make them pay religious homage to its image. (The word (G2303, translated brimstone), theion , Sulphur, is from (G2304 from G2316 theos, meaning a deity) theios , godlike (neuter as a noun, divinity): - divine, godhead. Sulphur is a yellow inflammable mineral substance found in quantities on the shores of the Dead Sea. This was also known as divine incense, because burning brimstone was regarded as having power to purify, and to word off disease. Its medical values are well known even today.
Rev. 14:8-20, In the imagery here, John is much like Paul as they both see how the triune religious counterfeit system, the Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet are thoroughly stripped of their influence and dominion and brought to naught. Paul by his opening up the mysteries/secret things of Christ and John, The False Prophet is mentioned in Rev. 16:13 (KJV) "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon, and out of the mouth of the Beast, and out of the mouth of the False Prophet." Here in Rev. 19:20 and also in Rev. 20:10, The Devil, who led them astray will be hurled into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone where his puppet partners, the Beast and False Prophet have already been confined to. Day and Night they will be the subjects of GOD'S touchstone for the ages of the ages - the very atmosphere of the entire universe will be thoroughly fumigated from any evidence of Satanas. (Paul in his epistle of Colossians states almost the same thing in 1:13-14, 20-21, 26, 2:4, 8, 14-15, 18, 20-23, 3:5-10, and in Philippians 2:15, 3:18-19. 1:20-21 (ASV) reads as: "And through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens. And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works.) (See note on the Touchstone in Rev. 14:10) Rev. 13:11, Then I saw another wild animal; This one emerged out of the earth - it had two horns and resembled a young lamb; Yet it had a Dragon's voice. [The counterfeit "trinity" emerges - the one mirroring the other - 1/ the Dragon-Accuser; 2/ the seven headed sea-monster of religion with its leading role player, the head that was slain but became alive again; 3/ and now, here, the Dragon clothed in a lamb's-disguise; Later called, the False Prophet.] see extended notes on The Lake of Fire at the end of this chapter.) The One seated upon the horse, with the sword that proceeds from His mouth, has slain the allies of the Beast and its puppet False Prophet, the kings and their hosts, while all the fowls of the air feasted on their flesh." (The word (G4105), rhomphaia , means a large, long sword; Used in Luke 2:35, where Simon prophesied over Mary: "and a sword will pierce through your own soul also, then the thought processes, reasoning's and dialogues of many hearts will be uncovered." This word is used 6 times in Revelation, in Rev. 1:16, 2:12, 16, 6:8, 19:15 and here is 19:21.
Look also at Hebrews 4:12, The message GOD spoke to us in Christ, is the most life giving and dynamic influence in us, cutting like a surgeon's scalpel, sharper than a soldier's sword, piercing to the deepest core of human conscience, to the dividing of soul and spirit; Ending the dominance of the sense realm (within which religion works) and its neutralizing effect upon the human spirit. In this way a person's spirit is freed to become the ruling influence again in the thoughts and intentions of their own heart. The scrutiny of this word detects every possible disease, discerning the body's deepest secrets where joint and bone-marrow meet.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
With our next visit the LORD willing, we shall begin an in depth look at: The Hidden Name, The Shepherd-King of the Nations, The Winepress of the Passion of GOD & The Great Supper, and The Lake Ablaze with Sulphur. Until then may our LORD increase His inspiration within each one of us who find this blog.
