REVELATION 19:11-21
Part 1
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.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no
man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and
clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule
them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that
fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the
flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small
and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against
 him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
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. These both were
 cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
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 wonder of Jesus is how long He waits to avenge evil upon the Earth. For all of human history since Eden,
 Satan has seemingly triumphed. For thousands of years sin and death have run riotously around the globe, and
 He waits.  Every village has felt some injustice.  Every hamlet has seen evil raging. Every son and daughter
 born has sin’s dark, black drop staining their hearts.  Every life experiences the tears and sorrows of
 Satan’s lie.  Every home ultimately breaks up by death’s visit. No family escapes seeing the circle of their
 home dissolve into the dark depths of the grave. Every life eventually will end in death.
He waits, as every page of history is deeply stained. Un-avenged evils, from the time of the first murder until
 this present hour are still pending. Human history has been written in blood, tears and death.  Why does Jesus
 wait?  Why is Satan allowed to wrap his vicious, slimy, filthy, cruel tentacles around human life and around
 this earth? The weak are slain, the helpless are crushed, and people in this earth by uncounted millions and
 millions are oppressed, living in despair, and it seems that Jesus just waits.
He waits, but somewhere beyond the starry sky there stands a herald angel with a trumpet in his hand, and by
the decree of the Lord God Almighty, there is a day, there is an hour, there is a moment, there is an elected
time when the angel shall sound and the Kingdoms of this World shall become the Kingdoms of our God and of His
Christ. And in that moment Jesus returns. In the Glorious Majesty of His Victory on the cross Jesus returns.
1.
Jesus left after saying He was coming back as was noted 1,257 times in the Old Testament and 319 times in the
New Testament, now he returns!
2. Jesus left from the Mt. Of Olives on foot empty handed, He returns to that very spot descending from the
skies mounted on a white horse, followed by countless armies clothed in white.
3. Jesus left in secret, now He returns in blazing glory.
4. Jesus left with blood stained garments, He returns in shimmering robes of white.
5. Jesus left still bearing the cuts of a crown of thorns, He returns with the sparkling dazzles of the diadem
crown of the King of the Universe.
6. Jesus left behind His beloved saints going ahead of them alone to Heaven, He returns with the skies filled
with His saints all in triumphant procession accompanying their Master, Lord and King.
7. Jesus left silently worshiped by His disciples, now he returns surrounded by the trumpet blasts of the armies
of Heaven, encircled by the shouts of praise of all the redeemed and every eye on planet Earth now sees Him.
JESUS RETURNS IN ALL HIS GLORY TO HIS WORLD.
The climax of all human history is now unfolded in our text. The purposes of God long hidden in His eternal
counsels are now made clear. Jesus steps back into history, no longer the suffering servant; He is Lord of All.
This passage makes two truths remarkably vivid. They are:
1. The Absolute SECURITY OF TRUSTING the Timing of Jesus.  Revelation 19:11-16
2. The Absolute FUTILITY OF RESISTING the Offers of Jesus.   Revelation 19:17-21
Look closely as God pulls back the veil and reveals the awesome majesty of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords
 in all His glory. First, as we look at the wondrous character of Jesus, let your heart rest in the security
 that comes of trusting in Him. Then, as we see the folly of the World as they finally begin to get what they deserve.
THE ABSOLUTE SECURITY OF TRUSTING
THE TIMING OF JESUS  (REVELATION 19:11-16)
FIRST, JESUS OFFERS US THE ASSURANCE HE IS FAITHFUL AND TRUE.
Revelation 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.
1. You can trust Jesus. Not one promise He made will ever fail. Not one word He spoke will ever be false. Christ
now returns with His saints. He came for them in Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened
in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither,
 and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. . During all of human history He has been watching and waiting.
 Nothing has missed His eyes. Now He will begin to bring truth to bear upon all lies and falsehoods and  deception:
JESUS WILL EXECUTE VENGEANCE, He asks us to wait on Him.
1. Jude 15  “To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds
 which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
 For the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
JESUS WILL REPAY EVERY EVIL, He asks us to trust Him.
1. Hebrews 10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord.
And again, The Lord shall judge his people.For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again,
 “The Lord will judge his people.”
JESUS WILL VINDICATE ALL THAT HAVE BEEN OPPRESSED, He asks us to hope in Him.
1. Psalm 103:6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. The LORD works righteousness
 and justice for all the oppressed.
2. Psalm 9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
JESUS WILL REWARD THE RIGHTEOUS, he asks us to work For Him.
1. Psalm 58:11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth
in the earth.
So that men will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; Surely He is God who
judges in the earth.”
2. Matthew 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the

prophets which were before you.

“Only one life to live and soon is past
Only what’s done for Christ will last!”
Hoping to make the time I have left count for the glory of God.
