Revelation 19
21 verses
A great multitude in heaven cries out with four Hallelujahs (unique in the New Testament)—Hallelujah, Salvation and glory and power belong to our God; Hallelujah, her smoke rises up forever and ever; Hallelujah, sing praise to our God all his servants; Hallelujah, for the Lord our God the Almighty reigns—the eschatological song of the redeemed. The marriage supper of the Lamb begins, his bride adorned in fine linen bright and pure—the wedding feast celebrating the consummation of the relationship between Christ and the church, finally perfected and united eternally. The warrior on the white horse, called Faithful and True, has eyes of fire, a name written known only to himself, and robes dipped in blood—the One who judges and wages war in righteousness. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God—identifying the warrior as the divine Logos who executes judgment upon creation's rebellion. The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen white and clean, follow the Word of God on white horses as he strikes down the nations with a sharp sword and rules them with a rod of iron, treading the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. From his mouth comes a sharp sword to strike down the nations, and he is named King of kings and Lord of lords, establishing his supreme and absolute authority over all creation.
