CHRIST COMES TO THE EARTH
REV. 19:11...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.
The King of kings and Lord of lords returns to earth with all His saints. He returns with clouds and every eye shall see Him in His majestic glory. John saw heaven as it opened, and he beheld the King of glory coming upon a white horse. He is called true and faithful, and in righteousness He will judge and make war.
Jesus came first as the Savior of the world; He was the babe of Bethlehem after His crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus returned unto the Father until the resurrection of all things. At His second coming Christ will first appear unto those who are looking for Him. The rapture will transpire; the dead saints will be caught up with the living saints to meet Him in the air. After the great tribulation Christ will return to the earth and make war with the Antichrist and his armies. He will also judge the nations, separating them as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.
The white horse rider is Christ, but we must not confuse this event with the white horse and rider in Revelation 6:1-2. The latter is the Antichrist who will pretend to be God, and will sit in the rebuilt temple showing himself to be God to the Jewish people (Rev. 11:1-2; II Thess. 2:4).
The raptured saints will follow Christ from the heavens, riding upon white horses. The saints are mentioned as the armies which were in heaven with Christ..(Rev. 19:14).
The Lord Jesus returns with ten thousands of His saints. (Jude 14). What really transpires is this; at His return Jesus raptures the made-ready saints into the heavens of the clouds to escape the great tribulation. They appear with Christ as His armies arrayed in white linen, which is the righteousness of saints..(Rev. 19:7-8).
The purpose of this eventful coming of Christ is to wage war in the Armageddon, the battle of God Almighty. The vial judgments, depicted in its effect as a winepress of wrath, is not the Armageddon. The Armageddon is actually a war of kings. The Antichrist and his ten kings will gather their armies into the place of battle and fight against Christ the King and His armies. ( Rev. 16:12-14; 17:12-14; 19:19).
Christ the King of kings will be the little stone of Daniel’s prophecy that will fall upon the feet of the image of world Gentile dominion, and crush all power and authority of the seven kings who reign in the political image (Dan. 2:31-35; Rev. 17:10).
The worlds Gentile dominion will become as chaff of the summer threshing floor; and the wind will carry them away, and there will be no place for them.
The Armageddon will be the last conflict with political Babylon. The Antilchrist, along with the False Prophet, will be cast into the lake of fire, and his armies will be destroyed with the sword of the Lord. The ecclesiastical Babylon, the worship of the image, was destroyed by the ten kings of the Antichrist regime. The Common Market, related to be commercial Babylon, was devastated under the vial wrath. When Paul referred to “the brightness of his appearing,” actually, he was speaking Christ’s return to the earth at the close of the great tribulation, after the working of Satan and his deception through the Antichrist. (II Thess. 2:8).
Russia as the northern kingdom could invade Palestine and have part in the Armageddon. Russia may enter the land of Israel through Egypt. Israel is surrounded on her border lines by the Arabian kingdoms. God has promised to take part in such war and will bury the bones of the invading armies in Israel..(Ezekiel 39:1-11).
The Jewish people are now settled in the new state of Israel; they are back home to stay. Israel was dispersed in A. D. 70, by the invading armies of Rome. Jesus foretold the Jews that the armies of Rome would come and destroy their city and burn the Temple to the ground. (Luke 21:20-24).
Israel has had many wars. When the children of Israel stood before the Red Sea, Moses said to them, THE LORD SHALL FIGHT FOR YOU, AND YE SHALL HOLD YOUR PEACE. EXODUS 14:14.
The major wars which Israel has fought have been with Egypt. When the state of Israel was established May 14, 1948, the armies of Egypt made war with the new nation. Israel has no implements of warfare; but God fought with them, and they defeated the armies of Egypt. The Israelites served the Egyptians as slaves for many years; but God led them out of that land, and they will never be conquered again by Egypt.
The war between Egypt and Israel in 1956, resulted in a victory for Israel. The war between Israel and Egypt in 1967 was won by Israel within six days. It is true that Russia had part in that war–not directly, but by supplying Egypt with arms. The Jewish nation of Israel brought shame upon Russia by defeating Egypt and two of her sister kingdoms.
God has brought Israel out of her graves in foreign lands and has planted her in Palestine to prosper and defeat any foe that may come against her in war. Hitler has his part in driving the Jews back into Palestine. He had six million Jews killed during World War II.
But this is going to be the war of all wars and will soon be over, Christ and His army will have the victory. Praise Him forever.
