Revelation
Lesson 14Revelation 19
This week the emphasis in Revelation shifts from being focused on the activities of Satan, the Anti Christ and the False Prophet, to the Second Coming of Christ and the doom of all those who followed after them.
No event in all the Bible is more anticipated than the Second Coming of Christ, the celebration and the judgments that accompany His return are awesome as we’ll see this week. I have no doubt as you study this week’s lesson you’ll see things in this chapter you had never noticed before, so let’s get started.
For our study this week read Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39 and Revelation Chapter 19 then consider the following:
- What does God prophesy He will do in Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39?
- How do we know these two chapters refer to end time prophecy? (See Ezekiel 38:16 and 39:28-29)
- How long will take to bury the dead after the great battle? (Ezekiel 39:12-15)
- What do Revelation 19:18-19 have in common with Ezekiel 39:17-20?
- Revelation 19:1-5 is a series of praises for God. Why are they praising Him? What does it tell us in 19:1 that led to these praises?
- Revelation 19:6-10 tells us about the marriage supper of the Lamb. In all prior references the Church is referred to as “the Bride of Christ” or as “the Bride”…how is the Church referenced in verse 7 and what can we discern from this reference?
- Who is “called” or “invited” to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb? If the Church is His wife, who will the other invitees/attendees be at this great celebration?
- Read Revelation 19:11-13. Verse 12 tells us that Christ “will have a name written that no man knew but he himself.” We won’t know that name until then, but He does have other names and titles when He comes again, what are they? (see 19:13, 19:16, and 1 Timothy 6:15-16)
- Read Matthew 24:30-31…could this be Revelation 19:14-16?
- What will the war be like mentioned in Revelation 19:19? Will the saints who return with Christ have to slay any of Christ’s enemies? If not how will the enemies of Christ die? What will happen to Jerusalem during this battle and what will happen to it and Israel when Christ’s enemies are defeated? Read Zechariah Chapter 14 – what does it tell us about all these things?
- In Revelation 19:20 who is thrown in the lake of fire?
- Where do the dead go if not in the lake of fire? (Luke 16:23)
- What happens to Satan, where is he sent? (Revelation 20:1-3)
Next week…the Thousand Year Earthly Reign of Christ. As we near the end of our study we can celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ even more as we anticipate His coming again and the beginning of his earthly reign.
Have a great week everyone!
Yours in Christ,
Wes
