End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 4: Revelation 19:11-16
Almost all Bible scholars see these verses as the Second Coming of Christ.
Jesus returns to Earth to reclaim it for us. Remember, in ancient times, not many people had horses, and most soldiers were foot soldiers.
Jesus will keep his promise to judge those on Earth after everyone has had time to repent of their sins.
Jesus’ judgment is righteous.
The many crowns show Jesus as the ultimate king. This is a far cry from the crown of thorns he wore the last time he was on Earth.
The blood could be Jesus’ blood he shed for our sins or the blood of his enemies.
The army is God’s people (Revelation 17:14, Jude 1:14-15) (angels, too), and their weapons are essentially the cleansing received from Jesus himself.
The word of God is like a sword coming from Jesus’ mouth.
Jesus will come to reign on earth with an iron rod as predicted Psalm 2
No one knows Jesus’s name because no one can comprehend him. Many Bible scholars believe the name written is Yahweh, the sacred name of God.
Fun Fact: God has almost 1,000 different names in the Bible.
Fun Fact: Yahweh appears in the Old Testament more than 6,800 times. It appears in every book except Ester, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs.
