16th Meeting - Continued Revelation Chapter 19

As John continued to look at the vision, he saw a white horse and rider. The rider is called Faithful and True; with justice he judges and makes war. This rider is Jesus; his eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven are following him riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, if you look at Isaiah 63:3, will explain the blood; the whole chapter of Isaiah talks about God and His wrath and how deal with it. In the earlier chapters of Revelation, we talked about the grapes of wrath, and Isaiah talks about the wine press, which is symbolism for war. We need to keep in mind, why Jesus is coming back and riding his white charger. The anti-christ was waging war with the saints and was about to beat them, when all of a sudden in the Eastern sky He appears to save the day. Jesus will rule with an iron scepter; which means He will Judge with justice and truth. The war is the battle of Armaggeddon, notice Gog and Magog are not mentioned here we will discuss them in the next chapter of Revelation. Just like now, it may not look like God is control, but God is Still on the Throne!
