The Beloved Disciple records what he saw at the end of the seven year period where Jesus returns to the earth to defeat the kings of the earth!
John recorded what was given to him by Jesus Himself in Revelation chapter 19:
11 Now I saw Heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
12 His Eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His Head were many crowns. He had a Name written that no one knew except Himself.
13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His Name is called The Word of God.
Jesus came to the earth the first time in an expression of Agape Love as often quoted in John 3:16. This time, He comes in justice and judgment. He comes with many crowns since they were given to Him by those who had been given crowns themselves but knew that Jesus deserved their crowns. (Revelation 4:10-11)
14 And the armies in Heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
15 Now out of His Mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
1] And He has on His robe and on His Thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
There is no question that Jesus Christ is returning to earth to rule and reign with a rod of iron. Those who rejected Him will suffer righteous judgment. Many want to make this passage an allegory rather than literal. I choose to treat this as literal since FATHER included such descriptions at the culmination of HIS Integrated Message System.
In the final chapter, John faithfully records Jesus’ Words in Revelation 22:
7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the prophecy of this Book.”
12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of Life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
17 And the Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
The Spirit and The Bride are with Jesus and implore those who are willing to “Come”. The Spirit and The Bride are with Jesus as He returns to earth. The Bride has received her reward and is not among those earth dwellers who are judged.
