Hello, I’m Daniel Westfall on the channel “Pray With Me”.
Revelation chapter 18 predicted the destruction of Babylon, saying, “Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!” So, what’s next?
Chapter 19 continues the story. At long last, after the lamb’s servants on earth have endured persecution and martyrdom, heaven is ready to act.
The main event? The wedding feast of the lamb. We see the church pictured as a bride dressed in bright white linen, the one who will soon marry the lamb of heaven. Having long endured the violence of the beast and the machinations of the prostitute Babylon, it is time for the church to exchange sorrow for joy, persecution for victory.
Before the wedding supper is prepared however, heaven has to vaporize the beast. To accomplish this, Christ appears on a white horse wearing a robe dipped in blood. Now that’s a disturbing fashion statement. His army follows him into war, also dressed in white and riding white horses.
As the army marches from heaven, an angel summons the birds, “Come one and all to God’s supper. You will feast on the corpses of kings and generals and horses and riders and people great and small.”
On earth, the beast and the kings muster a massive army of darkness against the army of light. When the white army wins, the beast and his false prophet are turfed into the lake of fire.
And the birds on the battlefield feast.
Let’s pray.
Our father, we love the lamb, we love the picture of Christ riding to war with an army of white. We love the vengeance and destruction he wreaks on the evil empires, and the punishment he imposes on their leaders.
But we say, “When O God, when will you bring this about?” For our experience has not yet changed: we are still the hidden church finding her uncertain way through the labyrinths of earth’s twisted kingdoms, its evil moralities and false religions.
Bring us soon to the time when you will destroy all evil, when your white army will overwhelm dark powers, when we will joyfully say our wedding vows to the lamb, when we will eat the feast he prepares.
Amen.
