1 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white
horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on
his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one
knows but himself. 13 He is
clothed in a robe dipped in[b] blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14 And the
armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following
him on white horses. 15 From
his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations,
and he will rule[c] them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the
fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a
name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud
voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come,
gather for the great supper of God, 18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of
captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and
the flesh of all men, both free and slave,[d] both small and great.” 19 And I saw the beast and the kings of
the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was
sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And
the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its
presence[e] had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the
mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two
were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the
rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was
sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.”

I can’t wait for the final moment when
Christ defeats Satan and all his followers. I enjoy reading this passage. It
makes me happy. I always get tingles down my spine as I read this Scripture
passage.
How about you? Have you spent time
studying Revelation? It is my favorite book of the Bible. Hope. Joy.
Redemption. It is the greatest book of the Bible, in my humble opinion.
