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. And the Beast was taken and with him the false Prophet who 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 into a lake of fire burning with Brimstone. And I saw a great white throne and Him that sat on it, from whose face the Earth and the Heaven led the way; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead small and great, stand before God ; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is The Book of Life. And the dead were judged out of these things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in them and they were judged according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire . this is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in The Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire.
In chapter 19 we see the scene now changing. Judgment is now over and we now proclaim the worthiness of God who rules. God’s ruling means the kingdom of God has now come and the glorious praises as we declare our hallelujahs unto him. The invitation is given to the bride, the church, come now to the marriage supper of the lamb, the bride has made herself ready and she is clothed herself in His righteousness. Then we see Jesus coming again with his church to establish His kingdom upon the Earth. The scriptures will be fulfilled. Behold he comes with ten thousands of his saints to execute his judgment upon the Earth for he will reign over the earth and judge in righteousness and in truth.
There is going to be one day a very glorious union of Jesus Christ and his church. Peter speaking of Jesus said “whom having not seen him yet we love. And though we do not see him yet , still we rejoice with a joy unspeakable and full of glory.” Paul the Apostle said “ now we through a glass darkly, but then we will see face to face.” What a glorious day when we see our Savior Jesus Christ face to face and we will be with him world without end.
And I saw a new Heaven and new Earth: for the first Heaven and the first Earth were passed away and there was no more sea and I John saw new Holy city New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of Heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her Husband. And I heard a great voice out of Heaven saying Behold the tabernacle of God with men. And he will dwell with them and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said behold I make all things new and he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, it is done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that it athirst id the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things and I will be his God and he shall be my son.
And the city had no need of the Sun nether of the moon to shine on it for the glory of God did lighten it and the Lamb is the light thereof. And Jesus said “Behold I come quickly: and my reward is with me to give to man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. I Jesus have sent my angles to testify unto these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David. And the bride say come. And let him that heareth say Come. And let him that is at thirst come. And whosoever will let him take the Water of Life freely. He which testifieth these things saith, surely I come quickly” Amen. Even do, come, Lord Jesus”
