Lessons

The lesson on October 30, 2016 was part 40 of “The Apocalypse” study.  Today’s lesson completed chapter 19 of Revelation and looked at two items.  First, the fact that the return of Jesus Christ here on Earth is in the role of the kinsman redeemer that comes with vengeance and redemption for his beloved bride, the nation of Israel who have overcome the tribulation.  The over-comers get to receive their messiah and he take vengeance on the armies of Satan and his un-holy trinity.  The other was to look at the name referenced in verse 12, “His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.”  This name is looked at in relation to Philippians 2:9-11 KJV “9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”.  No doubt Jesus is expressing his vengeance with this name.  The scripture reading was from Revelation 19:17-21 KJV

“17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19 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. 20 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. 21 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.”
