Hope in a Winner

Revelation 19

"And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers. He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel" (Genesis 3:15, NIV). 

The Warrior returns to fight the last battle

"I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war"—Revelation 19:11

“For no matter how many promises God has made, they are 'Yes' in Christ. And so through him the 'Amen' is spoken by us to the glory of God."—2 Corinthians 1:20

The Warrior faces the last enemy

And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great. Then I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army"—Revelation 19:17-19

The Warrior forges the last victory

The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty—Revelation 19:14-15.

"He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood"—Revelation 19:13 

But with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked—Isaiah 11:4

On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords—Revelation 19:16

Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh—Revelation 19:19-21.

And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever"—Revelation 20:10.

Jesus Wins and Satan loses. What do you think about that?
