End-times Part 10 From The Book Of Revelation Chpt 19 (Praise)

[Note to Blog Readers: The Expositor’s Notes are in Bold Italic Font]

God created the Heavens and the earth, to Edify, to Glorify and to Praise God.
Unfortunately, the great whore as corrupted the World, due to sin and it has leaked into many Churches. The great whore that the Bible speaks of is, false religions. Religion is man maid laws and doctrine and not the word of God. Mormonism, Catholicism, Church of Christ, Buddhists, thats to name a few, they are what is considered religions and the great whore. Research their beliefs and compare it to the real Bible, King James. You should easily be able to see what the difference is through our studies, through the book of Revelation, it plainly show’s the facts, clear as day. I highly recommend the Crossfire Expositor study Bible, it is a King James. You can visit  https://www.shopjsm.org/p-9288-regular-print-expositors-study-bible-he-knows-my-name.aspx and get one, its the best thing that you could ever do to empower your walk with God and it is a college degree by itself. Any Church that does not preach on the Cross, Him Crucified and the Truth about Baptism, is teaching of another Jesus and not of Jesus Christ. Those who does not teach on the Cross and Him Crucified, are not saved, worshiping idles, like a statue and a person taking peoples sins to Mary, is an abomination, Jesus Christ is our only one mediator that we need, to get to God and to His Kingdom, Jesus is God, incase you are getting confused, its the Trinity, and not just this, but everything mentioned along with praying to Mary or a statue, prayer rugs and prayer shall’s, are all Blasphemy in the eyes of God and is a spiritual adultery, they are not saved. A person is not saved by being water Baptized. You have to accept Jesus Christ into your hearts, you then will be Baptized by the Holy Ghost and you will be Saved. Water Baptism is done out of obedience, not for Salvation, repent, lay your sins down at the foot of the Cross and turn away from your sinful life style, deny yourself, you then will be dead to sin and become Alive in Christ Jesus. Your old life is gone, its then time to live a brand new Life in Jesus Christ, without sin. Religion is nothing more than man maid lies, religion kills the soul in hell. You need to learn to have a relationship with God, that is what Saves, not religion. May God be with you as we go through the Word of God today and allow the Holy Ghost to transform your life, into His likeness. Revelation Chpt 19 PRAISE.

Revelation 19:1-21 (KJV)
1 And after these things (pertains to specifically Chapter 18, but also the entire Book of Revelation in a broader sense,) I heard a great voice of much people in heaven (proclaims “praise,” which is the exact opposite of what is happening on Earth), saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God (the song here, and it is a song, does not begin with ascribing “Salvation” to God, as the English Version suggests; it rather affirms the fact; “The Salvation is God’s; it is the echo of ancient utterance--’Salvation belongs unto God’‘’): 2 For true and righteous are his judgments (neither man nor spirit beings, in all honesty, can fault God for what He has done regarding the system of this world): for he has judged the great whore (pertains to every false way of Salvation, irrespective of what it might be; no matter how beautiful it might look outwardly, the Lord refers to it as the “great whore”), which did corrupt the earth with her fornication (this refers to all the religions of the world, and for all time; however, it also refers to the fact that if the Preacher is not preaching “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified” as the answer to man’s dilemma, then in some manner he is preaching and projecting a type of “spiritual fornication” [Rom. 7:1-4]), and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. (Almost all of the persecution against the true Saints of God in this world, and for all time, has come from apostate religion. It started with Cain [Gen. Chpt. 4].) 3 And again they said, Alleluia. (This “praise of the Lord” is because of the destruction of the literal city of Babylon. The “Alleluia” in Verse 1 was proclaimed concerning the destruction of Mystery Babylon.) And her smoke rose up for ever and ever (proclaims the fact that her Judgment is Eternal). 4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts (Living Ones) fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne (the 24 Elders represent all the Redeemed of all the ages; they are in fact 24 men; the “four Living Ones” represent the Creation of God, and how that Creation can now serve its full purpose as originally intended), saying, Amen; Alleluia. (This “Alleluia” signals the end of all evil, and the beginning of all Righteousness.) 5 And a voice came out of the throne (is silent regarding the identity), saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. (Every true Believer will praise the Lord, and should do so continually.) 6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude (this “great multitude” consists of every single Believer who has ever lived, all the way from Abel to the last one Saved in the Great Tribulation), and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings (this is praise that expresses itself; and not merely the thoughts of a silent heart), saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigns. (This “Alleluia” pertains to the Lord reigning as King, and doing so forever. Satan does not reign. The Lord God Omnipotent Reigns, and He is “All-powerful.”) 7 Let us be glad and rejoice (all the Redeemed are about to be joined in Holy Matrimony to the Lamb Who has Saved them), and give honour to him (God has made it possible for mankind to be Redeemed, and did so through the Sacrifice of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ): for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (This presents a scene that will take place in Heaven immediately before the Second Coming. The “Wife” is the Redeemed of all ages.) 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. (The “fine linen” is symbolic of “Righteousness,” which was afforded by what Christ did at the Cross.) 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. (The man speaking to John says this. The word “Lamb” is used, signifying that all of this is made possible because of what Jesus did at the Cross.) And he said unto me, These are the true sayings of God. (This refers again to the fact that all of this is made possible by what Jesus did regarding His Finished Work.) 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See you do it not: I am your fellowservant, and of your brethren (as is obvious here, this is a man; he looks so much like Jesus, because of his glorified form, that John thought it was Jesus; in a sense, this tells us what all Saints will look like in the coming Resurrection) that have the testimony of Jesus (presents the fact that the Ministry of the Holy Spirit is to testify to Christ and of Christ): worship God (tells us in these two words that we are not to worship Angels, Saints or the Virgin Mary): for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (This “Testimony” is His Atoning Work, i.e., what He did at the Cross. Every “Prophecy” of the Old Testament points in some way to Christ and what he did at the Cross. As well, every proclamation presently uttered must in some way point to the Cross of Christ.) 11 And I saw heaven opened (records the final Prophetic hour regarding the Second Coming, without a doubt the greatest moment in human history), and behold a white horse (in effect, proclaims a war horse [Zech 14:3]); and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True (faithful to His Promises and True to His Judgments; He Contrasts with the false Messiah of [Rev 6:2], who was neither faithful nor true), and in righteousness he doth judge and make war (refers to the manner of His Second Coming). 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire (represents Judgment), and on his head were many crowns (represents the fact that He will not be Lord of just one realm; He will be Lord of all realms); and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself (not meaning that it is unknown, but rather it is definitely unknowable; it will remain unreachable to man, meaning that its depths can never be fully plumbed). 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood (speaks of the Cross where He shed His Life’s Blood, which gives Him the right to Judge the world): and his name is called The Word of God. (His revealed Name is the Word of God, for He revealed God in His Grace and Power to make Him known, so the Believer can say, “ I know Him.”)  14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses (these “armies” are the Saints of God, in fact, all the Saints who have ever lived, meaning we will be with Him at the Second Coming), clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (Harks back to Verse 8. It is Righteousness of the Saints, all made possible by the Cross.) 15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword (represents Christ functioning totally and completely in the realm of the Word of God), that with it he should smite the nations (refers to all the nations that will join the Antichrist in his efforts to destroy Israel; it is the Battle of Armageddon): and he shall rule them with a rod of iron (refers to the fact that the Lord of Glory will not allow or tolerate in any shape, form, or fashion that which “steals, kills, and destroys”): and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God (refers to the Battle of Armageddon). 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS (proclaims the fact that there will be no doubt as to Who He actually is). 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun (proclaims the fact that Faith believes what is written, even if the mind cannot comprehend what is written); and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven (denotes, as is obvious, supremacy over Creation), Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God (this is symbolic, but it is spoken in this way to proclaim the magnitude of that coming time [Ezek.39:2, 11-12]); 18 That you 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. (This proclaims the fact that the Power of Almighty God doesn’t blink at those on this Earth who consider themselves to be “great.” The Judgment will be identical for all [Ezek. 39:18-20].) 19 And I saw the beast (John saw the Antichrist leading this mighty army; this is the “man of sin” mentioned by Paul in II Thess., Chpt. 2) , and the kings of the earth, and their armies (refers to all the Antichrist could get to join him; it includes the “kings of the East” of Rev. 16:12), gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army (refers to Christ and the great army of Heaven which is with Him; as stated, this is the Battle of Armageddon [Ezek., Chpts. 38-39]). 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him (refers to both of them falling in the Battle of Armageddon), with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image (pertains to Satan’s chief weapon, which is deception). These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone (thus is the destiny of the Antichrist and the False Prophet, and all who follow them). 21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth (the Lord Jesus will speak the word in the Battle of Armageddon, and whatever He speaks will take place): and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. (This proclaims the end of this conflict. The Antichrist and his hoards will announce to the world what they are going to do regarding Israel, but the end result will be buzzards gorging on their flesh.)

Romans 7:1-4 (KJV)
1 Know ye not, brethren (Paul is speaking to Believers), (for I speak to them that know the law,) (he is speaking of the Law of Moses, but it could refer to any type of religious Law) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he lives? (The Law has dominion as long as he tries to live by Law. Regrettably, not understanding the Cross regarding Sanctification, virtually the entirety of the Church is presently trying to live for God by means of the Law. Let the Believer understand that there are only two places he can be, Grace or Law. If he doesn’t understand the Cross as it refers to Sanctification, which is the only means of victory, he will automatically be under Law, which guarantees failure.) 2 For the woman which has an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he lives (presents Paul using the analogy of the marriage bond); but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband (meaning that she is free to marry again). 3 So then if, while her husband lives, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress (in effect, the woman now has two husbands, at least in the Eyes of God; following this analogy, the Holy Spirit through Paul will give us a great truth; many Christians are living a life of spiritual adultery; they are married to Christ, but they are, in effect, serving another husband, “the Law”; it is quite an analogy!): but if her husband be dead (the Law is dead by virtue of Christ having fulfilled the Law in every respect), she is free from that law (if the husband dies, the woman is free to marry and serve another; the Law of Moses, being satisfied in Christ, is now dead to the Believer and the Believer is free to serve Christ without the Law having any part or parcel in his life or living); so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man (presents the Believer as now married to Christ, and no longer under obligation to the Law). 4 Wherefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law (the Law is not dead per se, but we are dead to the Law because we are dead to its effects; this means that we are not to try to live for God by means of “Law,” whether the Law of Moses, or religious Laws made up by other men or of ourselves; we are to be dead to all religious Law) by the body of Christ (this refers to the Crucifixion of Christ, which satisfied the demands of the broken Law, which we could not satisfy; but Christ did it for us; having fulfilled the Mosaic Law in every respect, the Christian is not obligated to Law in any fashion, only to Christ and what He did at the Cross); that you should be married to another (speaking of Christ), even to him who is raised from the dead (we are raised with Him in Newness of Life, and we should ever understand that Christ has met, does meet, and shall meet our every need; we look to Him exclusively, referring to what He did for us at the Cross), that we should bring forth fruit unto God (proper fruit can only be brought forth by the Believer constantly looking to the Cross; in fact, Christ must never be separated from the Work of the Cross; to do so is to produce “another Jesus” [2 Cor. 11:4]).an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

Zechariah 14:3 (KJV)
3  Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. (“Then” is the Key word!
1. “Then”: when Israel will begin to cry to God for Deliverance, Knowing that He is their only hope.

2. “Then”: when half of Jerusalem has fallen and it looks like the other half is about to fall.

3. “Then”: when it looks like every Jew will be annihilated, with two-thirds already killed.

4. “Then”: when it looks like the Promises of God made to the Patriarchs and Prophets of old will fall down.

5. “Then”: when it looks like the Antichrist will win this conflict, which will make Satan the lord of the Earth.

“Then shall the LORD go forth,” refers to the Second Coming, which will be the most cataclysmic event that the world has ever known. “And fight against those nations,” pertains to the nations under the banner of the Antichrist, which have set out to destroy Israel, and actually with annihilation in mind. “As when He fought in the day of battle,” probably refers to the time when the Lord led the Children of Israel out of Egypt by way of the Red Sea [Ex. 14:14; 15:3]. This was Israel’s first battle when Jehovah Messiah “went forth” and fought for them. Israel then passed through a valley between mountains of water; in this, their last battle, they will escape through a valley between mountains of rock, which the next Verse proclaims.)

Revelation 6:2 (KJV)
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse (symbolic; proclaims the Antichrist presenting himself to the world as a prince of peace): and he that sat on him had a bow (mentions no arrows; he preaches peace, but is preparing for war, as symbolized by the “bow”); and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (The “crown” represents the fact that he will conquer many countries. At first he does so by peace, but will quickly graduate to war.)

Ezekiel 39:2 (KJV)
2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel (five-sixths of the army of the Antichrist will be killed by the Second Coming of the Lord. “And will cause you to come up from the north parts,” does not, as previously stated, refer to Russia. It instead refers to the invasion route being the same as it was for the Assyrians, Babylonians, Grecians, and others in the past):

Ezekiel 39:11-12 (KJV)
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog. (No doubt, several millions of men are going to be killed in that which is known as “the Battle of Armageddon.” Even employing modern equipment to hasten the burial of so many human bodies, still the stench will “stop the noses of the passengers.”) 12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.

Ezekiel 39:18-20 (KJV)
18 You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. (The words, “The mighty” and “princes,” signify the military and political elite of the army of the Antichrist. As well, the “rams, lambs, goats, and bullocks” signify the same!) 19 And you shall eat fat till you be full, and drink blood till you be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. (The idea is that if they would not accept the Sacrifice of Christ at Calvary, then they would be made a sacrifice, which they were, but which would not save their souls, but would serve as a part of the salvation of the world.) 20 Thus you shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, says the Lord GOD. (The Antichrist will think to set a “table” is portraying the defeat of Israel, but instead he and his army will be the “table,” i.e., “My Table,” i.e., the Table of the Lord.)

Revelation 16:12 (KJV)
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up (refers to the preparations for the coming Battle of Armageddon), that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared (actually says in the Greek, “the kings of the sun-rising”; this will, no doubt, include the armies of China and Japan, plus others which will join the Antichrist in the coming Battle of Armageddon).

As we close this chapter out, I would like everyone to close your eyes and in your mind, I want you to think, am what I am doing in my life, not my life, I want you to think about your life.
Think on how you have been living, how you have been acting, how you talk with the mouth you have and your speech, how you treat yourselves and others. Think about the activities that you allow yourselves to take part in. Look at the hatred and grudge that may be lingering in your life.
Think about the alcohol, drugs, the poison sticks that you attend to place in the lips that God Blessed you with, think about the devil music that you attend to listen to, Is all of these things Pleasing, Edifying, Glorifying God in anyway? I know the answer, if you actually read and study the Word of God, you should see the Truth. What I want to encourage you to do, is to lay them all at the foot of the Cross and walk away from them, and allow God to remove them. I know that many of you are struggling, they can cause you and others to stumble and fall and it can jeopardize your Eternal life and from getting into Heaven, or loose some eternal rewards in Heaven. Lets Pray.
