King of kings

KING OF KINGS
Revelation 19:9-20:2
V.9: “Then the angel said to me, ‘Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!’ And he added, ‘These are the true words of God.’”

John continues, “I scribbled frantically when commanded to write, not wanting to miss one word. All Christians are invited to Jesus’ (God’s Lamb) wedding supper! And you’ll also be a warrior in His army (Revelation 5:10, 19:7).

“The angel scolded me when I fell down at his feet to worship (I was overwhelmed, you see). He said, ‘Get up, John—I’m a fellow servant of God—with you and your brothers and sisters who hold to Jesus’ testimony. Worship God only! What you’re seeing now is His testimony in the spirit of prophecy.’” (See also John’s Discovery and Exalted Jesus devotions). John continues:

“A white horse burst before my eyes. His rider was called ‘Faithful and True’. He’s come to make war, judging peoples and nations. His eyes blaze fire, and many crowns cover His head.
“He’s dressed in a robe dipped in blood. His name is ‘Word of God.’ Heaven’s armies follow Him, each warrior clothed in white linen and riding a white horse. A sharp sword came out of His mouth—His weapon to strike down the nations. His trail is the wrath and fury of God Almighty. On His robe and thigh are the words: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. I saw an angel standing in the sun crying out, ‘Come, gather together for the great supper of God!’

“Then I saw the beast—(Antichrist) with the kings of the earth, and their armies riding towards the Lamb of God and His armies—to make war! I watched, horrified, but unable to hide my eyes.
“The beast was captured. He and his sidekick, the false prophet, were tossed alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. Everyone who’d taken the beast’s mark were killed with the sword that came out of Jesus’ mouth.
“The birds gorged themselves on the dead.
“Then, another angel came down from heaven holding the key to the Abyss (a-BISS, means a gorge, or bottomless pit), attached to a great chain. He seized the dragon, (that serpent named Satan), and bound him for a thousand years.”

Take Home Nugget

The antichrist is a man who rises to prominence (PROM-in-enz means importance, celebrity status) on earth, deceiving many (1John 2:18, 2John v.7).

The mark of the beast (Revelation 13:16-18) was ordered on every person to be on their right hand or forehead. It is 666.

Before Jesus comes to literally reign on earth, we can exalt him when He reigns inside our hearts.

Creator’s plan 4 U is discovered when living under Christ’s authority.
