SOME OPENING THOUGHTS

A LONG-AGO PROMISE
And as they were gazing
intently into the sky while
He was going, behold, two
men in white clothing stood
beside them. They also
said, “Men of Galilee, why
do you stand looking into
the sky? This Jesus, who
has been taken from you
into heaven, will come in
just the same way as you
have watched Him go into
heaven.” Acts 1: 10+11

Support for Speculation:
The Father tells the waiting Son,
“The hour to reap has come!”

14. Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one
like a son of man, having a golden crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His
hand. 15. And another angel came out of the temple, crying out with a loud
voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Put in your sickle and reap, for the hour
to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.” 16. Then He who
sat on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.

CHAPTER 19: THE RETURN OF THE KING

1. After these things I heard somet

5. And a voice came from the thro

Him, the small and the great.” 6.
Then I

CHAPTER 19: THE RETURN OF THE KING
Hmmm. . . . before we can get to Chapter 19’s
triumphant declaration of Christ’s reign,
readers celebrate God’s victory over a female
entity called ‘The Great Harlot’.
I hope this prelude raises your curiosity with
regards to this figure. We’ll spend considerable
time on her in the next section, Revelation
14-19. Indeed, we must, for the Bible devotes
considerable space and text to her activities.
Shouts celebrating God’s triumph over her shall
ring in our ears as we descend with a returning
Christ to reclaim the planet.

7. “Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of
the Lamb has come and His bride has made Herself ready.” 8. It was given to
Her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the
righteous acts of the Saints.
9. Then he said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the
marriage supper of the Lamb.’”
ELEMENTS IN REVELATION 14-19
CHAPTER 19: THE RETURN OF THE KING
A couple of things to note about this.
1. See how late in the narrative we encounter the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
As a POST Tribulationist, I’m hardly surprised :)
2. The Bride “has made Herself ready”. She is allowed to “clothe Herself in
white” as a tribute to Her righteousness. Hmmm . . . . Odd phrasing, that . . .
As a POST Tribulationist, I look at what the Tribulation Saints have endured,
have overcome and I see this phrasing as a tribute to their faithfulness in the
spiritual battle of the ages. “Made Herself ready”, indeed! Revelation 12:11
lauds these Saints, “And they (the Saints) overcame him (Satan) because of
the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they
did not love their life even when faced with death.”
3. Who are those who are invited to the ceremony? Every candidate I entertain
as a possibility seems not to fit. Sorry. Another question I can’t answer. Got
tons of’em.

ELEMENTS IN REVELATION 14-19
CHAPTER 19: THE RETURN OF THE KING
A couple of things to note about this passage.
It is short. Very short. Six verses. Powerful imagery, to be sure, but
comprised of only six verses. By contrast, God allots two chapters and
numerous allusions to the Harlot and her operation, characteristics, doom
and etc. Only six verses to the return of Jesus Christ. WUWT?
A. Perhaps the rule of thumb is this: We get prophetic coverage about
things we need to face as challenges while still on earth. We have work
to do down here and need to know the terrain and the adversary.
B. Even what the Bible does tell us of heaven seems designed to guide us
while still on earth to faithfulness, righteous action and sound attitude,
not diminish the importance of our calling here on earth or undercut
our determination to live out that calling to the fullest.
C. And besides, how on earth are any mere words going to depict
something as awesome as the Return of Jesus Christ?
oticing a pattern . . . .
N
Check out these depictions of Christ’s return:
1. Daniel 7:13-14 A formal scene in which God the Father presents His
Son with dominion over the kingdoms of the earth.
2. Matthew 24:29 Christ depicts His own return as involving ‘clouds’ and
‘power’ and ‘glory’ and trumpets and a gathering together of the
faithful from the far ends of heaven to the far ends of earth.
3. I Corinthians 15:50 Paul describes the return only to assure us that the
return involves a resurrection of the dead.
4. I Thessalonians 4:13 Paul describes the return to clear up the
sequence of the resurrection and the rapture of the saints.
5. Revelation 19:11-16 The actual return depicted with Christ as the
center of attention. A word picture in six short verses!!

The Bible methodically uses sparse
imagery to describe Christ’s return.
Most statements of Christ’s return
seem to have the purpose of
establishing certain facts, not
providing us with lurid and graphic
pictures.

from heaven, holding the key of the abyss
and a great chain in his hand. 2. And he
laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of
old, who is the devil and Satan, and
bound him for a thousand years; 3. and
he threw him into the abyss, and shut it
and sealed it over him, so that he would
not deceive the nations any longer, until
the thousand years were completed;
after these things he must be released for
a short time.

CHAPTER 20: INTO THE MILLENNIUM
4. Then I saw thrones, and they sat on
them, and judgment was given to them.
And I saw the souls of those who had
been beheaded because of their
testimony of Jesus and because of the
word of God, and those who had not
worshiped the beast or his image, and
had not received the mark on their
forehead and on their hand; and they
came to life and reigned with Christ for a
thousand years. 5. The rest of the dead
did not come to life until the thousand
years were completed. This is the first
resurrection. 6. Blessed and holy is the
one who has a part in the first
resurrection; over these the second
death has no power, but they will be
priests of God and of Christ and will
reign with Him for a thousand years.

Let’s see . . . Satan
bound for 1000 years; we rule and
reign for 1000 years; the second
resurrection takes place after the
1000 years . . .

And as a POST-Tribulationist, may I
point out that this late moment hosts the
FIRST resurrection??? Just saying . .

I think God plans
for 1000 years of ruling
and reigning on earth . . .
literally!

Satan Unchained
7.When the thousand years are completed,
Satan will be released from his prison,
8.and will come out to deceive the nations
which are in the four corners of the earth,
Gog and Magog, to gather them together
for the war; the number of them is like the
sand of the seashore. 9.And they came up
on the broad plain of the earth and
surrounded the camp of the saints and the
beloved city, and fire came down from
heaven and devoured them. 10.And the
devil who deceived them was thrown into
the lake of fire and brimstone, where the
beast and the false prophet are also; and
they will be tormented day and night
forever and ever.

Again with the 1000 years! I think
this is a REAL chunk of time

And, why one might well ask? A
thousand years-worth of
generations have lived under
Christ’s benevolent rule. They
were FORCED to act righteously
and (oh, horrors!) endure the
benefits that follow righteous
living. Now, here at the end,
Satan tests them as he tested Job
in the OT. Do they really love
Christ’s rule? Satan gathers an
army of those that do not!

Oh, and notice the word “ALSO”.
The use of ‘ALSO” asks the
reader to cast reflectively back in
the narrative to remember that, for
1000 years, the AntiChrist and the
False Prophet have been waiting
in Hell for Satan’s final arrival.
This word “ALSO” justifies our
treating Chapter 20 as a
continuous narrative, laid out in
story-order. The word’s inclusion
here all but forces us recognize
the literal reality of the 1000 year
rule of Christ on earth.
The Millennium, so called, is

The Great White Throne
11.Then I saw a great white throne and
Him who sat upon it, from whose presence
earth and heaven fled away, and no place
was found for them. 12. And I saw the
dead, the great and the small, standing
before the throne, and books were opened;
and another book was opened, which is the
book of life; and the dead were judged
from the things which were written in the
books, according to their deeds. 13. And
the sea gave up the dead which were in it,
and death and Hades gave up the dead
which were in them; and they were judged,
every one of them according to their deeds.
14. Then death and Hades were thrown
into the lake of fire. This is the second
death, the lake of fire. 15. . . . .

This is our promised ‘second
resurrection’. I have much to say
about this event. See “ALL BOW
DOWN” for starters, an earlier
presentation in this series. Then
go to “THE NATIONS”.
It should not surprise you to
discover I see this event a leetle
differently than the average
evangelical bear.

One of two possible
judgmental outcomes is
clearly stated in the text: Hell.
Is Hell the only outcome of
these hearings?
Let’s look at vs. 15.
15. And if anyone’s name was not found
written in the book of life, he was thrown into
the lake of fire.
Rev 20:15

OK, we know what happens to a resurrected soul
whose name is NOT found in the Book of Life,
the text tells us directly!
Can we fairly infer that a) some resurrected souls
DO have their names in the Book of Life and the

b) these are therefore admitted into heaven?

so.

THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT:
MORE THAN A MERE SENTENCE HEARING

I can logically infer some souls have their names in the Book of
Life and do gain admittance to Heaven based on Rev 20:15.
In support, I see people from the “nations” in the Eternal
State; how else can they have gotten there if not via this route?
Romans 2:12-16 provides the legal basis for their admittance.
Christ bore their sins, too! and He it is who weighs their
conscience against their ignorance of both Law and Grace.

20: INTO THE MILLENNIUM

Now, before we look at what led up to the return of
our Savior, I feel the need to nail down the relationship between two distinct periods: Chapter 20’s
Millennium, so called, and the Eternal State of
Chapters 21 and 22.
You may want to investigate this relationship OR you
may want to continue backwards in Revelation and
see what led up to Christ’s return.

Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one like a son of man, having a golden crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand. 15. And another angel came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Put in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.” 16. Then He who sat on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped. Revelation 14:14-16

Sa lvation and glory and power belo ng to our God; 2. because His judgments ar e true and righteous; for He has ju dged the Great Harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, an d He has avenged the blood of His bond-ser vants on her.” 3. And a second tim e they said, “Hallelujah! her smoke rise s up forever and ever.” 4. And the twentyfour elders and the four living crea tures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” 5. And a voice came from the thro ne, saying, “Give praise to our God , all you His bond-servants, you who fear Him, the small and the great.” 6. Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude and like the soun d of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord ou r God, the Almighty, reigns.
  • 14. PROMISES KEPT CHAPTER 19: THE RETURN OF THE KING Hmmm. . . . before we can get to Chapter 19’s triumphant declaration of Christ’s reign, readers celebrate God’s victory over a female entity called ‘The Great Harlot’. I hope this prelude raises your curiosity with regards to this figure. We’ll spend considerable time on her in the next section, Revelation 14-19. Indeed, we must, for the Bible devotes considerable space and text to her activities. Shouts celebrating God’s triumph over her shall ring in our ears as we descend with a returning Christ to reclaim the planet.

It was given to Her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the Saints. 9. Then he said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’”
  • 17. ELEMENTS IN REVELATION 14-19 CHAPTER 19: THE RETURN OF THE KING A couple of things to note about this. 1. See how late in the narrative we encounter the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. As a POST Tribulationist, I’m hardly surprised :) 2. The Bride “has made Herself ready”. She is allowed to “clothe Herself in white” as a tribute to Her righteousness. Hmmm . . . . Odd phrasing, that . . . As a POST Tribulationist, I look at what the Tribulation Saints have endured, have overcome and I see this phrasing as a tribute to their faithfulness in the spiritual battle of the ages. “Made Herself ready”, indeed! Revelation 12:11 lauds these Saints, “And they (the Saints) overcame him (Satan) because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.” 3. Who are those who are invited to the ceremony? Every candidate I entertain as a possibility seems not to fit. Sorry. Another question I can’t answer. Got tons of’em.

  • 19. ELEMENTS IN REVELATION 14-19 CHAPTER 19: THE RETURN OF THE KING A couple of things to note about this passage. It is short. Very short. Six verses. Powerful imagery, to be sure, but comprised of only six verses. By contrast, God allots two chapters and numerous allusions to the Harlot and her operation, characteristics, doom and etc. Only six verses to the return of Jesus Christ. WUWT? A. Perhaps the rule of thumb is this: We get prophetic coverage about things we need to face as challenges while still on earth. We have work to do down here and need to know the terrain and the adversary. B. Even what the Bible does tell us of heaven seems designed to guide us while still on earth to faithfulness, righteous action and sound attitude, not diminish the importance of our calling here on earth or undercut our determination to live out that calling to the fullest. C. And besides, how on earth are any mere words going to depict something as awesome as the Return of Jesus Christ?
  • 20. oticing a pattern . . . . N Check out these depictions of Christ’s return: 1. Daniel 7:13-14 A formal scene in which God the Father presents His Son with dominion over the kingdoms of the earth. 2. Matthew 24:29 Christ depicts His own return as involving ‘clouds’ and ‘power’ and ‘glory’ and trumpets and a gathering together of the faithful from the far ends of heaven to the far ends of earth. 3. I Corinthians 15:50 Paul describes the return only to assure us that the return involves a resurrection of the dead. 4. I Thessalonians 4:13 Paul describes the return to clear up the sequence of the resurrection and the rapture of the saints. 5. Revelation 19:11-16 The actual return depicted with Christ as the center of attention. A word picture in six short verses!! The Bible methodically uses sparse imagery to describe Christ’s return.
  • 21. Most statements of Christ’s return seem to have the purpose of establishing certain facts, not providing us with lurid and graphic pictures.

  • 23. We leave the brief sketch of Christ to reflect on His purpose: Victory over Hell’s pawns–the Beast, the False Prophet and the nations which have allied themselves to them. 17. Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in midheaven, “Come, as semble for the great supper of God, 18. so that yo u may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of com manders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the fles h of all men, both free men and slaves, and sm all and great.” 19. And I saw the beast and the ki ngs of the earth and their armies assembled to m ake war against Him who sat on the horse and ag ainst His army. 20. And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived th ose who had received the mark of the beast an d those who worshiped his image; these two w ere thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns w ith brimstone. 21.And the rest were killed with th e sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2. And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3. and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.
  • 27. PROMISES KEPT CHAPTER 20: INTO THE MILLENNIUM 4. Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. 6. Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years. Let’s see . . . Satan bound for 1000 years; we rule and reign for 1000 years; the second resurrection takes place after the 1000 years . . . And as a POST-Tribulationist, may I point out that this late moment hosts the FIRST resurrection??? Just saying . . I think God plans for 1000 years of ruling and reigning on earth . . . literally!
  • 28. PROMISES KEPT CHAPTER 20: INTO THE MILLENNIUM Satan Unchained 7.When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, 8.and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore. 9.And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10.And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Again with the 1000 years! I think this is a REAL chunk of time And, why one might well ask? A thousand years-worth of generations have lived under Christ’s benevolent rule. They were FORCED to act righteously and (oh, horrors!) endure the benefits that follow righteous living. Now, here at the end, Satan tests them as he tested Job in the OT. Do they really love Christ’s rule? Satan gathers an army of those that do not!

Oh, and notice the word “ALSO”. The use of ‘ALSO” asks the reader to cast reflectively back in the narrative to remember that, for 1000 years, the AntiChrist and the False Prophet have been waiting in Hell for Satan’s final arrival. This word “ALSO” justifies our treating Chapter 20 as a continuous narrative, laid out in story-order. The word’s inclusion here all but forces us recognize the literal reality of the 1000 year rule of Christ on earth. The Millennium, so called, is REAL!

  • 31. PROMISES KEPT CHAPTER 20: INTO THE MILLENNIUM The Great White Throne 11.Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. 12. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. 13. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. 14. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15. . . . . This is our promised ‘second resurrection’. I have much to say about this event. See “ALL BOW DOWN” for starters, an earlier presentation in this series. Then go to “THE NATIONS”. It should not surprise you to discover I see this event a leetle differently than the average evangelical bear. One of two possible judgmental outcomes is clearly stated in the text: Hell. Is Hell the only outcome of these hearings? Let’s look at vs. 15.
  • 32. 15. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Rev 20:15 OK, we know what happens to a resurrected soul whose name is NOT found in the Book of Life, the text tells us directly! Can we fairly infer that a) some resurrected souls DO have their names in the Book of Life and the I think b) these are therefore admitted into heaven? so. Let me tell you w hy . (C l ic k now.)
  • 33. THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT: MORE THAN A MERE SENTENCE HEARING I can logically infer some souls have their names in the Book of Life and do gain admittance to Heaven based on Rev 20:15. In support, I see people from the “nations” in the Eternal State; how else can they have gotten there if not via this route? Romans 2:12-16 provides the legal basis for their admittance. Christ bore their sins, too! and He it is who weighs their conscience against their ignorance of both Law and Grace.
