Deaths & Resurrections

Revelation 19:11 thru 20:15

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.

Revelation 19:12 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.

Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

Revelation 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

Revelation 19:15 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.

Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Revelation 19:17-18 ¶ 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.

Revelation 19:19-20 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.

Revelation 19:21 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.

Revelation 20:1-3 (continuation of chap 19?) ¶ And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

  1. Satan bound for 1k years, then, once again, he will apparently temp "the nations" again.
  2. The 1k years begin at the 2nd coming?
  3. So, why are there nations that remaining after Christ's 2nd coming? Likely explanation => http://sidnash.org/MK/BelovedVSHolyCity.html

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

  1. There must have been a resurrection prior to verse 4.
  2. Where is this scene - Heaven or Earth?
  3. 2 classes of people: 1)Resurrected martyrs. 2)those who had not worshiped the beast...
  4. Both groups are sitting on thrones and judging, reigning with Christ.

Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

  1. It was the 1st resurrection, so that would be all the redeemed(dead&alive) at Christ's 2nd coming.
  2. Those still dead after that will not wake till after the 1k years. But are these the ones who died before the 2nd coming only? Or, did all the unsaved die at the 2nd coming? If so, what about "the nations" of verse 3 that can no longer be tempted, since they seem to still be alive after Christ's 2nd coming (verse 3).

Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

  1. There is a 2nd death for some. So, they must be resurrected after the 1k years.
  2. All the redeemed are priests of God & Christ. This is in addition to the martyrs and the 144,000.

Revelation 20:7-8 ¶ And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

  1. "the nations" that seemed to still be active after the 2nd coming are apparently still active after 1k years. Really?!!
  2. After the 1k years, satan is released from his imprisonment in the bottomless pit.
  3. Satan will deceive as many as are the grains of sand in the sea from all around the earth.
  4. These must be the lost of the surviving nations, as well as "the rest of the dead" which "lived not again until the thousand years were finished"(vs.5). But, are there other unsaved who lived through the 1k years?

Revelation 20:9-10 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

  1. It seems that two separate places were surrounded by the vast multitude - camp of the saints and Jerusalem.
  2. All these people were then "devoured" by fire from God. Looks like quick and total destruction.
  3. satan, the beast, and the false prophet are tormented forever w/fire & brimstone.
  4. The beast and false prophet have been there for 1k years Rev 19:20 .
  5. What is the "beloved city"? => http://sidnash.org/MK/BelovedVSHolyCity.html

Revelation 20:11-15 (a new view)And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Desiring to live by every word that comes from the mouth of Jehovah Deut8:3;Mt4:4 )
