F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Revelation 19:1-99

Revelation 19 HOW DELIGHTFUL IS the contrast as we pass into chapter 19! As before remarked, a word that characterizes Revelation 17.0 and Revelation 18.0 is “earth.” The Christian faith, which is centred in a heavenly Christ, has been debased into an earthly religion a scheme for producing an earthly paradise where men may have their fill of earthly joys. That kind of religion very well suits “the kings of the earth,” and “the inhabitants of the earth,” and “the great men of the earth,” and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Revelation 19:11-16

The vision of the exalted Christ: v. 11. And I saw heaven opened, and, behold, a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war. v. 12. His eyes were as a dame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written that no man knew but He Himself. v. 13. And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood; and His name is called The Word of God. v. 14. And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 19:11-21

“King of Kings, and Lord of Lords” Revelation 19:11-21 A sublime vision of Christ, as He comes to judge the beast, that is, the world-power, which has ever been in antagonism to the principles of His Kingdom. We must distinguish between it and the final judgment. This precedes, that follows, the millennial reign. Compare Matthew 24:27 ; Matthew 24:29 ; Matthew 24:37 ; Matthew 24:39 . The blood in which His vesture is dipped is not His own, but that of His foes. See Isaiah 63:2 . Here at... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 19:1-21

We now come to the things leading up to the establishment of the Kingdom. There are three great movements of praise: one by a great multitude who have been slain; the second by the elders and the living ones; finally, a mighty chorus which John describes by a threefold similitude as "the voice of a great multitude," "the voice of many waters," "the voice of mighty thunders." This precedes the marriage of the Lamb. The harlot is no more. The true Bride is manifest. A word of blessing is... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Revelation 19:11-21

The Battle of Armageddon Revelation 19:11-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS When we think of the battle of Armageddon, we are thinking of several Scriptures besides the one written in this study, Some of these are in the Book of Revelation. 1. The breaking of the sixth seal seems to touch this last great battle, as found in Revelation 6:13-17 . (1) We read "The sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood." These words, in other Scriptures, mark the closing of this age, and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:11-13

‘And I saw Heaven opened and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it called Faithful and True, and he judges and makes war in righteousness. And his eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written which no one knows but himself. And he is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood, and his name is called The Word of God.’ In Revelation 4:1 a door was opened in Heaven for John to have access to heavenly things but now the Heaven itself is opened and the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:11-21

The Great Last Battle (Revelation 19:11-21 ). The purpose behind this narrative is to exalt Him Who is the Word of God and to demonstrate the total defeat of the forces of evil. As with much in Revelation it is not to be taken literally. But the scene is magnificent. The last judgment is described in many ways. This is but one of them. It is depicted in terms of vivid climactic events (Revelation 6:12-17); it is depicted as a huge earthquake and great hail (Revelation 11:19; Revelation... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:12

‘And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and the books were opened, and another book was opened which is the book of life. And the dead were judged out of the things that were written in the books, according to their works.’ All who die must give account, as indeed must those who are alive at His coming. But it is the dead that are in mind here for the lesson is that death is not the end. After death comes the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). John has especially in mind... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:14

‘And the armies which are in Heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure.’ In the Old Testament one of the names of God was ‘the Lord of Hosts’. Here we may well therefore see His ‘hosts’. Angels are regularly seen as clad in white and He Himself told us that He would come with the angels when He comes to judge (Matthew 16:27; Matthew 25:31). This could therefore be intended simply to refer to Christ coming with His angels, an event He regularly described (Matthew... read more
