Lesson 59
Revelation - Study of Things to Come
The
Return of Christ - Chapter 19
The
Arrival of the King!!
Contrasts!!
During the 1st Advent; He came to
Not this time!
Here He comes riding majestically on a white
horse!
19:11-21
breaks down into 2 Parts:
#1
#2
#1
a) 19:11 Rides a White
Horse
- Historical background
during
b) "He who sat upon it is called
Faithful and true;"
Faithful pisto,j; This relates Him to His word!
true; avlhqino,j; He is genuine, reliable
- These 2 terms together are only used of Christ!
c) He comes in the 2nd Advent in 2
capacities!
"and in
righteousness He judges and wages war."
#1 to judge #2
to wage war;
- He judges and wages war by a standard;
* Christ then returns
waging war, because of the evil perpetrated by the Satanic trinity; its
necessitated by the infernal trinity; the instigators of the evil of the
tribulation period.
* What characteristic of
Christ is dominate in His return?
Some sample passages:
This is first seen in Ex 15:3;
Another example is in Isa
36-37 also 2 Chron 32;
* In the flow of this
section we have 3 names of Christ given:
The first is here in vs:11;
"faithful and true"
The second is in vs:13;
"The Word of God"
The Third is in vs: 16;
"King of Kings and Lord of Lords."
d)
The next characteristic is noted by "His
eyes are a flame of fire"
- That He sees all, the
fact of His OmSc, enables Him to judge righteously,
as He will do!
"and
upon His head are many diadems;"
- The use of diadem puts
the focus on His right to rule;
"and He has a
name written [upon Him] which no one knows except Himself."
- What this passage is
saying, I believe, is that when He comes we are seeing the incomprehensible
one; that not one of us can at this point completely know or appreciate, that
is until eternity!
"And He is clothed with a robe
dipped in blood;"
- The clue is in the words "clothed"
and "dipped" both are perfect pass ptc.
Therefore the fact that He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, conveys the idea that He is already a veteran in
- The time is at hand for the next judgment that
will add blood stains to his garments; Prophesied in Isa
63:1-6
"and
His name is called The Word of God."
Why is this name appropriate now?
- clue in 2 Pet 3:4-7
