Rev 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great."
Ezekiel 39:18 You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, Drink the blood of the princes of the earth, Of rams and lambs, Of goats and bulls, All of them fatlings of Bashan. 19 You shall eat fat till you are full, And drink blood till you are drunk, At My sacrificial meal Which I am sacrificing for you. 20 You shall be filled at My table With horses and riders, With mighty men And with all the men of war," says the Lord God. 21 "I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them.
In Ezekiel it is from the slaughter of Gog and Magog. See the similarity?
All are to eat a feast of the remains.
Rev 19:19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21 The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
This is the Battle of Armageddon.
When is it suppose to happen???:
1 When the Antichrist conquers the countries north and east of the 10 kingdoms. (including Russia and Germany)
2 When these nations have been mobilized against Jerusalem.
3 Immediately following the tribulation
4 When the armies of the Antichrist have surrounded Jerusalem.
5 After the supper of the Lamb
6 When the first resurrection has been completed.
7 At the end of this age of grace.
8 When the two witnesses have finished their ministry.
There are many more signs to mark this "when" these are but a few.
Who is fighting?
Christ vs Satan
His heavenly armies his angels
Earthly Israel those under the Antichrist
Reason for the fight?
Satan wants the Earth, us and not to face his Doom!
As for God;
He promised to re-establish the kingdom of David. 2 Sam 7& Acts 15:13-18
To rid the earth of all evil and rebellious persons. Cor. 15:24-28
Eph 1:10 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment--to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. (enough said there!)
Zech. 14:1-7 tells us the length of one day is the length of the battle.
Zech. 14:1 A day of the LORD is coming when your plunder will be divided among you. 2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. 3 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. 5 You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. 6 On that day there will be no light, no cold or frost. 7 It will be a unique day, without daytime or nighttime--a day known to the LORD. When evening comes, there will be light.
You'll want to see this!....FROM HEAVEN!
And, we do know who is victorious!
Look in verse 20 where it talks of the two cast alive into the lake of fire. We know that the Antichrist and the false prophet are two mortal men and that they will be killed at the battle. (see Dan 7:11 ; 2 Thes. 2:8 & 9). So, how are they thrown alive into the lake of fire? Well, we can guess that the bodies will be resurrected and cast there.
There are suppose to be two resurrections, these will be the first resurrection. Mt 25:41 & 46 talk of the second resurrection.
First is the Antichrist and the false prophet. (Rev 19:20)
Rev 19:21 Second is the final judgment , the wicked dead and the fallen angels judged. All the evil men, angels and demons are to be brought back, defeated and judged....You DON'T want to be in that crowd!!
Next blog will start chapter 20 which will talk more about the expulsion of Satan from Earth.
Blessings and the wisdom of God on all who read this,
