The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:11-21

The four names of Christ. There were three great enemies of Christ and his Church, each of which have been told of in the previous chapters of this book—the dragon, the first beast, and the second beast, or the false prophet. In the immediately foregoing chapters we have had told the destruction that came upon them that worshipped the beast. Generally upon them all by the outpouring of the seven vials; and then, more particularly, upon the city Babylon, which was the seat and centre of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:11-21

The holy war. There now opens to our view another scene of warfare. It is brief, comprehensive, and decisive. It is a view of the heavenlies. The conflict is between the heavenly and the earthly powers. It is a "representation of the conquest of the kingdoms to Christ, which, like all his conquests, is accomplished by the power of the truth, wielded by a faithful Church, and rendered efficacious by the power of his Spirit." I. THE COMBATANTS ARE DISTINCTLY BROUGHT TO VIEW ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:19

And I saw the beast; viz. that described in Revelation 13:1 , typical of the hostile world power. And the kings of the earth, and their armies. The kings summoned by the unclean spirits of Revelation 16:13 , Revelation 16:14 , typical of the forces which the beast employs in his spiritual warfare with God. The armies are the adherents of the beast, described in Revelation 13:1-18 .—the ungodly, those who follow the world rather than God. Gathered together to make war against him... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:20

And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image; that wrought the signs in his sight (Revised Version). Here we have described the destruction of the earthly manifestations of Satan's power; the means by which he seeks to achieve his purposes, and which we have interpreted as the hostile world power and self deception (see on Revelation 13:1-18 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:21

And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. The remnant; that is, the adherents of the beast, the "armies" of Revelation 19:19 . (For this description of Christ, see Revelation 19:11 , Revelation 19:15 .) Spiritual death is inflicted upon those who have proved themselves hostile to God. The last sentence emphasizes the nature of the punishment by the reference to the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 19:19

And I saw the beast - notes on Revelation 13:1, Revelation 13:11. Compare Revelation 17:13.And the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together - There is allusion here to the same assembling of hostile forces which is described in Revelation 16:13-14, for the great decisive battle that is to determine the destiny of the world - the question whether the Messiah or antichrist shall reign. There can be no doubt that the writer in these passages designed to refer to the same events -... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 19:20

And the beast was taken - That is, was taken alive, to be thrown into the lake of fire. The hosts were slain Revelation 19:21, but the leaders were made prisoners of war. The general idea is, that these armies were overcome, and that the Messiah was victorious; but there is a propriety in the representation here that the leaders - the authors of the war should be taken captive, and reserved for severer punishment than death on the battlefield would be - for they had stirred up their hosts, and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 19:21

And the remnant - The remainder of the assembled hosts - the army at large, in contradistinction from the leaders.Were slain with the sword - Cut down with the sword; not rescued for protracted torment. A proper distinction is thus made between the deceived multitudes and the leaders who had deceived them.Of him that sat upon the horse - The Messiah, Revelation 19:11.Which sword proceeded out of his mouth - notes on Revelation 19:15. That is, they were cut down by a word. They fell before him... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 19:17-19

Revelation 19:17-19. And I saw an angel standing in the sun And therefore conspicuous to all; and he cried with a loud voice to all the fowls of heaven To intimate the slaughter and desolation which were soon to come upon the enemies of the church; saying, Come, gather yourselves together to the supper of the great God To the great feast which his vengeance will soon provide; a strongly figurative expression, taken from Ezekiel 39:17, denoting the vastness of the ensuing slaughter. And... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 19:20-21

Revelation 19:20-21. And The issue was such as might be expected: Christ and his saints obtained a full and entire victory; a victory as complete as when the generals and all the chief officers of an enemy’s army are made prisoners of war, and the rest are cut to pieces in the field of battle. For the beast The idolatrous persecuting power represented thereby; and the false prophet, that wrought miracles before him That, by pretended miracles and false doctrine, had supported the... read more
