Chapter 19
It is the tragedy of human history that the evil oppress, kill and victimize the righteous, and it has been from Cain, the son of Adam, until the destruction of Babylon. The reason that it has been so is because God, in His Counsel, has used the devil to complete the number of those who will receive the kingship of eternal Kingdom.
Since Adam and Eve were defeated by the devil, all mankind has been under the dragon’s authority. After passing through the birth of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Holy Son, in the present of 20th century when the sin and the human technology and the population grow to the highest degree, it is the tragedy that Christianity is depraved to the highest degree.
But God is the Almighty who works even through the least one. The mystery of Judgement has revealed to the one who was weakened like a worm on the edge of the East, and through this truth, the heavenly authority will be given and the power of Babylon will entirely perish; so a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven will sing “His Judgements are true and righteous …… and He has avenged the blood of His bond-servants.” (1~2)
The grudge of the martyrs’ souls who have been waiting until this day is fulfilled. (3~5)
So, the saints become ready as brides adorned for Jesus, the bridegroom, and the marriage to rejoice and be glad has come. (6~8)
The most blessed are those who are invited to this marriage. (9)
These things have been fulfilled through the Spirit of prophecy that has worked upon many servants. (10)
When the first seal was broken, the Rider of the white horse went out conquering, and to conquer. His second war is reaching the conclusion, so the armies on white horses follow the King of kings and fulfill the victory to smiting the nations with a rod of iron. (11~16)
Even though the force of the beast has been used as the rod of anger to burn up the world with its highest scientific technology, it will perish in front of the armies on white horses. These armies are the 144,000 who have testified with the authority. They, being transfigured, have ascended to heaven, and now descend to the earth to wage the last war to avenge the blood of martyrs. (17~21)
