Go to the index page for: The Revelation of Y'shua the Anointed

19:1 After these things I heard loud voices of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and glory belong to our God: 19:2 for true and righteous are his judgments. For he has judged the great whore, who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand."

The Fall of the False Prophet and Babylon the Great

"After these things," i.e. after the destruction of Babylon the Great and the city of Rome as discussed in the previous chapter. While this Book of prophecy does not follow a static time line from beginning to end it does usually give us direction. This verse gives us important information about the time-line for these events:

We now understand from our study that Babylon the Great and her False Prophet will rise to power shortly after the "vomiting out" of the Laodecian Church (Rev. 3:14-19) and the emergence of Rex Mundi, the Antichrist (Rev. 6:1). The False Prophet will formally establish Babylon the Great in Roma (Vatican City) near the beginning of the Seven Year period as an ecumenical (Interfaith) movement. That movement toward a one-world religion has existed for several years and is attracting ever more people, even today. For prophecy watchers, the unveiling of this global religious and economic system may be the initial event confirming that the Tribulation Period has begun.

Now we learn that Babylon the Great's utter destruction will occur shortly before the final Battle of Armageddon, near the very end of the Seven Year Tribulation Period. This is important in part because it clarifies a related time-line issue. Because the initial references to the destruction of Babylon the Great occur earlier in the prophecy some have taught that she will be destroyed as early as the Middle of the Week, presumably just after the resurrection of the Beast. That view however posses certain problems with other elements of the prophetic time line. For instance we know the False Prophet is to be thrown into the Lake of Fire at the end of the Seven years. If he and Jezebel are dethroned mid-week what are they doing in the meantime? Here in verse one all such questions are resolved: Babylon the Great and her False Prophet will be present and serving Rex Mundi until the very end.

As previously discussed, the City of Rome will be the hub for the computerized elements of the Mark of the Beast and the global economy as well as the global headquarters of the False Prophet and Babylon the Great. This is one reason we say that the Novus Ordo Seclorum, once complete, will be the return of the Roman Empire. The Beast will for sure rise to power in the EU and almost certainly in Rome early on but at least by the Midpoint of the Tribulation Period Rex Mundi will establish his seat in Jerusalem as High Priest, Messiah and God of the New World Order. Jerusalem will be desecrated by his presence and become an international city as envisioned by the UN (UNGA Resolutions 181 and 303).

Here are the verses that this verse clarifies:

Revelation 17:16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the whore [i.e. Babylon the Great], and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
17:17 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, and to agree, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
17:18 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."

Even as his forerunner Adolf Hitler began losing control of himself and blaming his generals for his defeats towards the end of the Third Reich, so too Rex Mundi, Supreme Commander of the Fourth Reich, seeing his Global Union slipping away, will lash out in anger at the False Prophet. When Rome falls the Global System will be crippled and the Beast will blame this monumental failure on the False Prophet.

The People's Republic of China ("the Kings of the East") and the Muslim Ummah, led by al Ikhwan -- the Egyptian Islamic Brotherhood ("the kings of the South") and others will be moving their forces toward the Middle East as described previously and Rex Mundi will become increasingly paranoid and concerned for his threatened Union. All the more so because Rex Mundi knows the biblical prophecies better than anyone! He can, as Daniel described to his king, read the "handwriting on the wall" (Daniel 5:24-28). He will see the destruction of Roma as the fulfillment of these prophecies and HaShem will put it into his mind to fulfill the mandates of Revelation 17:16-18. This has biblical precedence:

II Kings 19:28 Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came..."

As Rome suffers the effects of the initial earthquakes and subsequent disasters the technology supporting the Global Union will fail as discussed in the previous chapter. Rex Mundi will become enraged by this act of Moshiach and his forces! He will have been depending on that system, overseen by the False Prophet, being invulnerable -- like the unsinkable Titanic -- and yet like the Titanic an unexpected force will bring it down!

HaShem and His Moshiach will fan that awesome rage and the Beast, "cutting off his own nose despite his face" will begin a most furious persecution of the surviving elements of the Great Whore Jezebel, destroying her so thoroughly that her memory will become a myth! This is how these verses must tie into the time line.

The Beast Turns On The False Prophet

As an enraged entrapped beast Rex Mundi will viciously turn on the Woman, Babylon the Great and her False Prophet, and rend her asunder! He will have been allowing her to "ride on his back" (Rev.17:3) but now he will unseat and devour her remains!

Recall that the true Master of the Elite is Lucifer himself, "the god of this world" (II Cor. 4:4). Lucifer's goal has always been to place his throne above that of HaShem (Isa. 14:13) so that he, as God, will reign supreme (II Thess. 2:4). That desire has never abated. From his perspective this is what human history has all been about -- his defeating HaShem -- as discussed in the Book of Job specifically but throughout the entire Bible.

For mortals six thousand years seems like a very long time, however to near-eternal beings like angels it is not so long: Our time is not their time.

To accomplish his objective Lucifer has used Jezebel: the corrupt seed: the weeds that grow among the wheat as Master Y'shua explained:

Matthew 13:24 He set another parable before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field, 13:25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.
13:26 When the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
13:27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?'
13:28 "He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.'
"The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'
13:29 "But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them. 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

Here the Master is directly referring to this Jezebel factor that Lucifer plants among the true wheat.

Now has come the time of harvest!

Through the 'weeds of Jezebel' Lucifer has shared his worship with the world's various religions in order to manipulate them. Jezebel's ultimate Nicolaitane Heresy, her ultimate sewing of weeds, Babylon the Great, will be the synthesis of all the world's religions established on an New Age Environmental basis of One Earth -- One People. Knowing it is the time of harvest Lucifer will seek to harvest the darnel and burn the wheat!

This globalist religious movement will have unified the world however by this point, tasting final victory, Lucifer will be unwilling to share his glory with anyone, including "mythical personalities" like Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad and so on. He will demand exclusive, fanatical devotion and worship by everyone on the earth!

Having witnessed the Fall of Babylon the Great, Rex Mundi will turn against even the Nicolaitane priesthood (the Bavarian Illuminati)! Again Hitler typified this type of insanity as he approached the end of his reign.

"They who fail to remember the past are condemned to repeat it!"

By this point however the New World Order rebellion will be as good as over. All that will remain will be the final battle when these darnel weeds will be consigned to the flames.

Because the political leadership of the New World Order (the Novus Ordo Seclorum) -- the "kings of the earth" -- have no interest in religion (indeed are openly defiant to it), their hatred of the religious basis of the Thousand Year Fourth Reich will be increasing throughout the Seven Years. Again, even as many of Hitler's top aids secretly felt contempt for his spiritualist beliefs. With every pronouncement uttered by the False Prophet their hatred will grow.

Towards the end of the Seven Year Period, the contempt the Bilderberg Group and others will feel toward the False Prophet and his global religion will have festered into open hatred. As Rex Mundi points his finger of condemnation at the False Prophet these "kings" will pounce on the Whore with a vengeance! Then will the blood of the martyrs be avenged!

Revelation 6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. 6:10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"
6:11 A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.

That waiting will now be over!

19:3 A second said, "Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever." 19:4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, "Amen! Hallelujah!"
19:5 A voice came forth from the throne, saying, "Give praise to our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the great!"
19:6 I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns!

All of unmarked creation will proclaim the righteousness of HaShem's judgment of Jezebel, including the "Great Multitude" mostly now located before the throne and dressed in the white robes of martyrdom.

Again we note that at no point has there been a "Rapture of the Church." Rather, the True Believers -- united with others as the Great Multitude -- those who maintained their faith in the God of Israel and Y'shua His Anointed Servant and those drawn to Moshiach since the rise of the Beast, have served God to the end. Most of these servants will not physically survive the Seven Years.

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

19:7 Let us rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let us give the glory to him. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready."

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb will be the reuniting of the human race with God in a new and wonderful covenant. This new New Covenant is compared to marriage vows. With the destruction of the Beast and False Prophet the Way will have been prepared for the next step. Let's take a few minutes to consider the biblical covenants between God and humanity.

The Biblical Covenants Between God and Humanity

The Noahide Covenant (For everyone)

Throughout the ages the One God has established various covenants with the people of Earth in order to help us. Let's briefly consider the most significant of the biblical covenants in order to better understand the one that will be implemented next.

Early in this age, following the Global Flood, HaShem established the Noahide or Rainbow Covenant and issued the Seven Holy Laws for everyone on the planet to observe:

The Noahide Laws

1. Worship Only HaShem
2. Honor and Praise HaShem
3. Respect and Protect Human Life
4. Respect the Family
5. Respect the Rights and Properties of Others
6. Respect the Sanctity of all Life
7. Pursue Justice

I discuss these laws in depth Here

Humanity failed to honor this covenant. In time HaShem picked a single tribe from humanity and through them offered salvation to all.

The Abrahamic/Israeli Covenant (For Jews only)

HaShem chose Abraham the Hebrew and his descendants (through his wife Sarah) and declared that through them He would establish His kingdom and all the world would be blessed:

Genesis 12:1 Now Yahweh said to Abram [who was later re-named Abraham], "Get out of your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you.
12:2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. All of the families of the earth will be blessed in you."

HaShem was with Abraham, his wife Sarah and with their descendants Isaac (Yitskhak) and his son Jacob (Yaakov). HaShem renamed Jacob "Israel" after Yaakov's famous fight with the Angel of HaShem as recorded in the Torah. The Twelve Tribes of Israel are named after Yaakov's sons. As discussed previously, ten of these twelve tribes were lost but will be restored during the Kingdom Era.

The accounts of Abraham and Sarah and their sons are told in the Torah (the first five books of the Bible).

Moses and the Giving of the Torah (For Jews only)

The Torah of HaShem is eternal. It was not created on Mount Sinai, it was revealed there. Although its regulations are for the most part incumbent on Jews only, everyone who studies these writings will be blessed and gain knowledge of HaShem and His Will for the Jews and for the world.

Maimonides (aka Rambam -- Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon -- 1135-1204 C.E.) organized the beliefs of the Jewish Torah into the Thirteen Principles of Faith:

The Thirteen Principles of Faith

1. HaShem exists
2. HaShem is one and unique
3. HaShem is incorporeal
4. HaShem is eternal
5. Prayer is to be directed to HaShem alone and to no other
6. The words of the prophets are true
7. Moses' prophecies are true, and Moses was the greatest of the prophets
8. The Written Torah (first 5 books of the Bible) and Oral Torah (teachings now contained in the Talmud and other writings) were given to Moses
9. There will be no other Torah
10. HaShem knows the thoughts and deeds of men
11. HaShem will reward the good and punish the wicked
12. The Messiah will come
13. The dead will be resurrected

As the Elect of HaShem the Jews carefully maintained the integrity of the Scrolls now bound as the Hebrew Scriptures.

The Oral Torah according to the majority of Jews were given by HaShem at Mount Sinai along with the Written Torah. Its teachings were considered to be so sublime however that they were not revealed to the people until later. According to some Jewish scholars the Written Bible is best considered as a key to the more important Oral Torah. The Babylonian Talmud is the main collection but there is also the Jerusalem Talmud and other writings deemed to be inspired by Rabbinical Judaism (the Pharisee sect). Karaite Jews and certain other smaller sects of Judaism do not accept the Oral Torah as inspired scripture. Many of these Jews do accept it an important commentary.

Following their release from Babylonian captivity the two remaining Tribes of Israel returned to their land, were soon occupied by the Roman Empire and then, in 69 and 70 CE under the authority of Titus (who later became Emperor of Rome) the Roman Legions laid waste to the temple and much of the City of Jerusalem. It was then that the Jews were scattered throughout the world in the Diaspora (about half of the Jews remain in Diaspora even today). While in the Diaspora they established their cannon and established Rabbinical Judaism.

Around the year 7 B.C.E. an unmarried Jewish maiden (an almah) -- probably in her early to mid teens -- named Miriam gave birth to a son and named him Y'shua.

The New Covenant (For Noahide Nazarenes/Christians only)

At the age of thirty Y'shua was immersed in the mikvah by his cousin John and began his ministry. He was by all evidence a devout and pious Jew who kept the Laws of Moses however he did so under the inspiration of prophecy as led by HaShem. He taught:

Matthew 5:17 "Don't think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I didn't come to destroy, but to fulfill. 5:18 For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the Torah, until all things are accomplished.

Nicean Christians often fail to realize this: The Torah is eternal. It did not begin with Moses and it did not end with Y'shua. Y'shua did not abolish the Torah. He honored it and obeyed it. The word here is kataluo and tells us that he did not: dissolve, destroy or abolish it. There are those who say that his coming to "fulfill" the Torah somehow annulled it, however that meaning is not contained in the words he used and he specifically said that, "not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the Torah, until all things are accomplished." All things will not be accomplished until the Last Trumpet as we've discussed before, which is to say, until the Earthly Kingdom of HaShem is established. Obviously that Kingdom has yet to be established.

The Torah of Israel is still the Law of HaShem for the Jews as it has always been since the days of Moses. Y'shua came as an example for the Jews of how the Torah should be observed (pleroo) by Jews. They did not accept his teachings or reforms due in large part to their devotion to and for the Oral Torah.

Y'shua was Jewish and devout, hence under the Laws revealed to Moses. He lived and died as a perfect example of a Written Torah observant Jew. That's the meaning of this verse.

Y'shua did not accept the Oral Torah as binding or inspired. Even as a commentary he had grave misgivings about it. Those Jews who embraced the Way he taught, and there were many, likewise rejected the Oral Torah. However they continued to observe the written Torah as interpreted by Y'shua. When we understand the word literally Y'shua was a rabbi. This term means "teacher," however for Jews the word includes being a teacher of the Oral Torah. Since Y'shua did not accept the Oral Torah I do not refer to him as a Rabbi but as a master (an adown: aw-done).

His rejection of the Oral Torah was one of the main differences between his teachings and those of the religious leaders of his people but there was more. He believed that people could have direct communion with HaShem through prayer, as the Patriarchs had. He felt that the Pharisees, the Scribes and others had placed themselves above the common people. Since all Jews are the Elect of HaShem and have direct access to Him through prayer, not just the elders, Y'shua opposed their claims as essential mediators. What has come to be known as the Lord's Prayer is one example of Y'shua teaching his followers how to directly commune with HaShem. It was never intended to be a rote prayer:

Matthew 6:9 Pray like this: 'Our Father in heaven...

Gentiles (non-Jews) are not and never were under the Laws of the Torah (the exception being certain specific laws concerning those who live among the Jews).

Gentiles are still under the requirements of the Seven Noahide laws (listed above). Those eternal laws were included in the Torah and so the Jews are under them as well.

During his Earthly sojourn Y'shua avoided all contact with Gentiles (although he was compassionate towards those who were sincere) as we read here:

Matthew 15:24 But he answered, "I wasn't sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
15:25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, help me."
15:26 But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
15:27 But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."
15:28 Then Y'shua answered her, "Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Following his resurrection HaShem empowered Y'shua to establish what is generally known as the New Covenant. This covenant essentially updates the Noahide Covenant and is applicable to all who follow the Way of Y'shua. The Master said:

Matthew 28:16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Y'shua had sent them. 28:17 When they saw him, they bowed down to him, but some doubted. 28:18 Y'shua came to them and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. 28:19 Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 28:20 teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen

This Covenant does not place Noahide Nazarenes under the Laws of the Torah but under the teachings of Y'shua. Chief among his teachings is that the entire Torah can be summed this way:

Matthew 22:35 One of them, a Torah scholar, asked him a question, testing him. 22:36 "Rabbi, which is the greatest commandment in the law?"
22:37 Y'shua said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. 22:39 A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' 22:40 The whole Torah and the Prophets depend on these two commandments."

Master Y'shua also commanded Shabbat observance, but stressed that it was not intended to enslave people but to free and inspire them:

Mark 2:27 He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 2:28 Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."

For more on Shabbat for Noahides go Here. EVERYONE who worships the God of Israel is commanded in the Scriptures to honor the Sabbath Day and to keep it holy. This law predates not only the giving of the Torah but even the expulsion from Eden! Indeed, even before the creation of Adam!

Genesis 2:1 The heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array. 2:2 On the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 2:3 God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work which he had created and made.

Only the Sabbath is declared holy in the Bible. Sunday is the Roman Pagan day of worship for Sol Invictus. No where are God's people, Jews nor Christians, told to honor Sunday as a day of worship. Sunday worship was introduced by the Nicolaitanes.

However both the Hebrews/Jews and the Noahide Nazarenes/Christians fell short of their Covenant obligations to HaShem and so HaShem will issue another Covenant that will unite all peoples of the Earth, Jews and Gentiles alike, with the Holy One. Under this coming covenant the Jews will be as priests for the rest of humanity.

The Great Multitude

Today the majority of Jews and Christians are essentially Agnostic and "lukewarm" (Rev. 3:16) when it comes meaningful religious observance, however there are of course many inspiring exceptions; there are both Jews and Christians who love HaShem with their full being and who stand and will stand behind their beliefs no matter what comes. These holy ones are they who have "kept oil in their lamps" (Matt. 25:1). They are among the remnant of God's people who will never embrace the False Prophet, his master or his Mark.

Through Y'shua the Anointed and those who came after him millions of Gentiles were "grafted on to the Tree of Israel" as Paul explains in Romans chapter 11. However as John foretold, most of the followers of the Noahide Nazarene Way taught by Y'shua embraced the Nicolaitane Heresies beginning early in the Church Age. Under the influence of "that woman Jezebel" the Way became the Roman Universal Church (many Nicean Christians eventually left to join the diverse "daughter" denominations that sprang from Rome but the Roman Catholic Nicean Creed continued to be embraced by most of these sects). As a body, these grafted on branches will soon be severed from the Tree of Israel and metaphorically "vomited from the Mouth" of Y'shua as we have discussed.

However HaShem will never abandon those of sincere faith! Even as the Organized Nicean Church is set adrift in the flood waters of the Tribulation Period where it will become an integral part of Babylon the Great, those of true and abiding faith will be gathered together as the Great Multitude. As we have seen these Believers, along with the 144,000 Jews, the Two Witnesses and a host of celestial beings will serve the Cause of Moshiach and the Kingdom of HaShem throughout this period.

The Marriage Covenant

19:8 To her it was granted that she would be arrayed in bright, pure, fine linen: for the fine linen is the righteousness of the holy ones.

The Master gave an important parable about this event. It will be well worth our attention to heed this prophetic warning!

Matthew 22:1 Y'shua answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,
22:2 "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,

The Kingdom is the coming Theocracy that will replace the New World Order. The King is HaShem, the Son is Moshiach.

22:3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.

The messengers are the holy prophets and teachers of Israel. This first set of invited guests are the Jews.

22:4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage feast!"' 22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,

Again he sent out other servants: This second set of invited guests are the Noahide Nazarenes/Christians.

22:6 and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.

These, "the rest" (down to the last) of these Nicean Christians embraced the Nicolaitane Doctrines and persecuted the loyal followers of the Way in various ways. In time these people became (will become from our current perspective) Babylon the Great. These Nicolaitanes throughout their 1800 or so year long history have abused and killed the faithful servants of HaShem in various ways. Prior to rise of Babylon of the Great, the "Holy Inquisitions" witnessed the worst of these atrocities, but what is coming will be far worse than even those dark times.

22:7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

This is referring to the coming Divine Vengeance that will be wrought upon the Great Whore and her city just prior to the Battle of Har Megiddo (Armageddon).

HaShem is King of all kings and Lord of all lords. He has been patient but now, to save the Jews from annihilation, He will instruct His servant Moshiach to destroy all those who spurned and mocked his invitation to His Son's wedding feast. Which is to say, all who refuse to embrace the Covenant He will now offer.

Matthew 24:21 ... for then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
24:22 Unless those days should be shortened, no flesh would survive. But for the sake of the Elect, those days will be shortened.

These are those days that must be shortened!

Master Y'shua here adds to our knowledge of the prophetic time line. We understand from the prophets that the Tribulation Period will be divided into two segments:

The Tribulation: The first three and a half years: From the signing of the Peace Treaty with Israel until the "Abomination of Desolation" and resurrection of Rex Mundi as Lucifer incarnate.
The Great Tribulation: The second three and half years: From the Abomination of Desolation to the establishment of the Theocracy of Moshiach.

Now Y'shua informs us however that the Great Tribulation will be "shortened" in order to save the Jews.

As discussed before, immediately following the Abomination of Desolation the Jews are told to flee to the Wilderness (to Petra).

Now events are spinning out of control:

The Global System that empowered the Novus Ordo Seclorum will have collapsed with the destruction of Rome and other major cities.
The 200 million man army of the Kings of the East (China) will have entered the Middle East, having crossed the River Euphrates thanks to the damns build there in the seventies and eighties.
The Kings of the South (the Ummah of Islam led by al Ikhwan (the Egyptian Brotherhood) will be marching north into Eretz Israel.

And God only knows what else will be happening! The increased earthquake activity will be a factor, the diseases and so on, renegading hordes of demons... utter chaos and destruction worldwide!

And the Jews, hated and unfairly blamed by everyone will be sitting in the midst of this madness!

To save them Moshiach will order his forces into the fray!

First Moshiach and his forces will sack and utterly destroy the city of Rome: headquarters of Babylon the Great. This will avenge Rome's sacking of Jerusalem in 70 CE. Then he will lead his troops into the Holy Land, Eretz Israel, for the final confrontation with Rex Mundi.

We continue now with the Master's description of the Marriage Feast recorded in Matthew.

22:8 "Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren't worthy.

Neither the original Noahides, the Jews nor the Christians were found worthy! There is none righteous, no not one! -- Romans 3:10.

Y'shua was referring to the events now coming to a head in our text Revelation 19 and foreshadowed at Revelation 3: 14-19 as we have discussed several times.

22:9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.'

This general invitation occurs as recorded at Revelation 3:20 when the Master says: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me. 3:21 He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne."

22:10 Those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.

At this point Moshiach will be gathering his army to stand against the Beast and will accept any and all who answer the call, any who "open the door." These people will be from every nation, language, religion, ethic group and so on. This will be the coming together of "whosoever will" stand against the Beast! Those who answer this call will be admitted to the Wedding Feast of the Lamb.

And the Master's Matthew prophecy doesn't end here! He continues by referencing an event that is still a thousand plus years in our future:

22:11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn't have on wedding clothing, 22:12 and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.
22:13 Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.'

As we will discuss soon, Moshiach's Kingdom will reign on Earth for a thousand years. At the end of that thousand years another rebellion will occur (the Battle of Gog and Magog). These verses refer to that rebellion. We will discuss this soon enough as we are now approaching the conclusion the Prophecy of Y'shua the Anointed.

22:14 For many are called, but few chosen."

We now continue with our main text:

19:9 He said to me, "Write, 'Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.'" He said to me, "These are true words of God."

Those who are being invited to the wedding feast, even now, are us! You and I! Never before in history has anyone been able to accurately say this! This is an awesome time to be alive! These are the days the prophets spoke of! With the fulfillment of the required prophecies -- beginning with the restoration of Israel and Jerusalem -- occurring for the first time in history there is no doubt about this!

The Marriage of the Lamb

Master Y'shua spoke on this glorious event during his earthly sojourn and here John is witnessing it. If we wish to take part in this event, to witness the wedding and be among those who enter first into this Holy Covenant we will do well to once again read this and act accordingly:

Revelation 3:15 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot. 3:16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
3:17 Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;' and yet don't realize that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;
3:18 I counsel you [i.e. I'm warning you!] to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.

Today its still not too late. This verse is speaking of spiritual gold and wealth. Babylon the Great has not yet arisen, Rex Mundi is not yet revealed.

What do we need to do? The Master continues:

3:19 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.

Don't buy into the Nicolaitane lies! Study the Scriptures for yourselves, not just the commentaries. Don't believe the deceptive promises of a Rapture that will allow you escape what is coming. We all need to prepare for these things mentally, spiritually as well as physically. The most severe and devastating storm in world history is heading our way!

FLEE Jezebel!

What does this mean?

Seek God in truth!

As of today, November 10, 2009, Babylon the Great has not yet risen however the signs of her coming are clearly visible throughout Christendom. If your congregation, denomination or pastor stands against Israel and the Jewish people, or if they are overly given to the traits of the Laodecian age (either spiritual apathy or judgmentalism) you would be wise, in my opinion, to re-evaluate your relationship with that assembly.

No congregation and no pastor is perfect of course and you may be the Light of HaShem shining within that congregation.

Joyously accept the chastening of HaShem and...

Having done all you can to stand... STAND!

THEN to you will be granted this invitation:

3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.
3:21 He who overcomes [through the Tribulation Period -- whether through martyrdom or through life], I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

Affirm with Apostle Paul that:

Philippians 1:20 ...Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death. 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

This is not about "salvation," alone, this is about the Kingdom! Those invited to the wedding feast and those who accept the invitation will be granted to sit with Y'shua on his throne.

What does this honor entail? Re-read the following:

Psalm 82:1 God presides in the great assembly.

He judges among the gods.
82:2 "How long will you judge unjustly,

and show partiality to the wicked?"


82:3 "Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless.

Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
82:4 Rescue the weak and needy.

Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."
82:5 They don't know, neither do they understand.


They walk back and forth in darkness.

All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
82:6 I said, "You are gods,


all of you are sons of the Most High.
82:7 Nevertheless you shall die like men,

and fall like one of the rulers."
82:8 Arise, God, judge the earth,

for you inherit all of the nations.

Through the Marriage of the Lamb we are being invited to "inherit all nations" and to achieve our potentials as sons and daughters of the Most High God!

Many are called, few are chosen.

This is important. As we enter the Tribulation Period it is vital that no matter what we refuse the Mark of the Beast and his system! If we STAND, whether we live or die, we win!

19:10 I fell down at his feet to worship him but he said to me, "Don't do that! I am your fellow servant and one of your brothers who hold the testimony of Y'shua. Worship God, for the testimony of Y'shua is the Spirit of Prophecy."

Powerful! "Worship God, for the testimony of Y'shua is the Spirit of Prophecy."

Remember how this book begins:

Revelation 1:1 This is the Revelation of Y'shua the Anointed, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, John, 1:2 who testified to God's word, and of the testimony of Y'shua the Anointed, about everything that he saw.
1:3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is at hand.

Prophecy is the heart and soul of the Way of Y'shua! Prophecy tells us why the One God is doing what He is doing and prophecy reveals our part in His Will!

No wonder so many people deride prophecy and say, "that could mean anything!" As we've seen, when the prophecies are read as written they are clear, certain aspects may not be readily understandable, but the general flow is when we examine the Bible in context without adding personal interpretation. This is all the more true now that the prophecies are being fulfilled right before our eyes!

19:11 I saw the vault of heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.

We saw another figure seated on a white horse earlier, the Rex Mundi. He sought to deceive the world by claiming to be Moshiach but this rider is "faithful and true."

The Revelation of Moshiach

This Rider is Moshiach.

He has been intimately involved in all these events since opening the First Sealed Scroll however much of his work has been done covertly. His followers have heard his voice inwardly and acted in accordance with his will, but now he plunges onto the scene personally, leading his troops as they go from Roma to Jerusalem for the final contest.

19:12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself.

His eyes are like a flame of fire: He manifests the righteous wrath of HaShem. He is coming to separate the darnel weeds from the wheat (Matt. 13:24)! He will be the instrument of the wrath of the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. He leads the execution of the Vengeance of the People of God. This will be no babe born and wrapped in swaddling cloths in a manger!

Moshiach will lead his forces as the greatest military leader the world will ever have seen into the Middle East! He will put an end to the reign of the Novus Ordo Seclorum and its leader Rex Mundi/Lucifer.

On his head are many crowns: Moshiach will wear the crowns (or manifest the authority) of the Twelve Tribes of Israel as well as the righteous rule of the Gentiles in accordance with the Seven Noahide Laws.

Moshiach will rule Israel as King and the world as overlord. His kingdom will be Eretz Israel: All the Land promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The Thousand Year Reign of Moshiach

Eretz Israel

The Torah defines the Promised Land in Genesis 15:18, Deut. 1:6-8 and other places.

Genesis 15:18 In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates.

And

Deuteronomy 1:1 These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
1:2 It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea. 1:3 It happened in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that Yahweh had given him in commandment to them; 1:4 after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.
1:5 Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 1:6 "Yahweh our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have lived long enough in this mountain: 1:7 turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all the places near there, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the seashore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
1:8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them."

ALL of Eretz Israel will be returned to the Elect and the Moshiach will rule.

Note that the extreme and global devastation that will occur during the Tribulation Period, coupled with the redrawing and redefining of regional borders by Rex Mundi and his administration, prevents us from saying with any certainty what the map of the future will look like -- other than Eretz Israel.

The Jewish people and the government of Israel are working hard for peace today. They are not the aggressors.

The British Mandate (shown above) was carved out of the defeated Turkish Empire and promised to Israel as their Homeland by the British government. This would have returned much of Israel's God-given land to them. Since the days of the British Mandate and the re-founding of their nation, Israel's leaders have repeatedly agreed to surrender land in exchange for peace. In 1922 Winston Churchill betrayed this agreement and gave 80% of the Mandate to the Arabs as shown above in the shaded area.

In 1948 the United Nations divided the 20% that remained of the British Mandate into two sections, one section for a Jewish Homeland and the other to Arabs. 60% of the Israeli section was inhospitable desert. The Jewish natives and settlers transformed the desert into usable land and as the prophets foretold caused the desert to bloom (Isa 43:19)

Isaiah 51:1 "Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yahweh: look to the rock you were cut from, and to the hold of the pit you were dug from. 51:2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
51:3 For Yahweh has comforted Zion; he has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

The Arabs could have used the billions of dollars granted by the UN, the US, other countries and the sweat of their brows to make their areas bloom, but instead most of the money was placed into Swiss bank accounts and wasted on terrorism against Israel and the aggrandizement of Arab leaders and al Ikwan (the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood).

Had the Arabs accepted the 90% of the original British Mandate taken from Israel and given to them the Middle East would be a peaceful and prosperous place today. However they were committed to the genocide of the Jewish people. They refuse to accept that one sixth of one percent of the Middle East would be set aside for the Jews. One sixth of one percent for God was too much for them!

"If the Jewish State becomes a fact [the Arabs] will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea" -- Hassan al Banna, founder of al Ikhwan (the Musliim Brotherhood), 1948.

"This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades" -- Azzam Pasha, Arab League Secretary, 1948

"Arabs, arise as one man and fight for your sacred rights. Kill Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion. This saves your honor. God is with you." -- Amin al-Husayni, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, 1947. This is the same Mufti who had served Hitler in his "Final Solution to the Jewish Question."

The Jewish people only want peace. Every time they have willingly surrendered part of their Holy Land for a promise of peace their enemies have responded by demanding more and more concessions. Al Ikhwan (the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood that directs much of the Muslim activities in the world) and the United Nations organizations see any and all concessions by Israel as weakness. Peace in the Middle East can never achieved by showing weakness. Israel needs to stand firm, but alas often they do not.

Prime Minister Netanyahu recently gave a speech before the G-8 agreeing to surrender even more land if the ceded land would become and remain demilitarized under UN authority. This has never worked before and it will not work this time. What it could lead to however if implemented is the empowerment of the UN to make Jerusalem, the eternal capital of Israel, an international city as they have sought to do since 1948. One also wonders how long it would take before the UN peace Keepers in the DMZ zones would be primarily Muslim enemies of Israel.

As we know from this study, the UN plan will eventually succeed. Jerusalem will be desecrated and become the seat of Rex Mundi's global government. Again, we are now witnessing the fulfillment of prophecy happening before our eyes! For information on this speech or to discuss it visit my main blog Here.

Many members of the Settler movement and their supporters are proclaiming enough is enough! Israel must not surrender any more land to its enemies!

Today there are many loyal Jews standing up to the Globalist elements within the government of Israel, to the United Nations, to the U.S. and to the world boldly proclaiming that all of Eretz Israel belongs to the Jewish people. Following is a map made by one such settler and links to the Settler movement. I agree with these loyal Jews and support their struggle wholeheartedly. May HaShem bless their efforts.

It is important to understand however that neither the current government of Israel nor its policies support this movement to restore Greater Israel. These devout Jews are routinely opposed and sometimes imprisoned by the government of Israel and their demands to restore the nation defined by HaShem always fall on deaf ears.

The tensions in the Middle East are not the result of this proposed One State Solution. The fact that a minority of Jews are working toward the restoration of Eretz Israel to its divinely mandated borders is NOT the cause of fighting today. At best its a side issue. The cause of the fighting is the clearly declared and full intention of the Muslim Ummah to completely annihilate all traces of Jewish existence from the face of the earth.

Eretz Israel

May HaShem bless their efforts!

"The process of national revival of the Jewish people is irreversible and has its internal logic. We shall have no peace as long as the whole territory of the Country of Israel will not return under Jewish control.

This might sound too hard, but such is the logic of history. The war on the Holy Land has been already fought for four thousand years and the end cannot be seen.

A stable peace will come only then, when Israel will return to itself all its historical lands, and will thus control both the Suez and the Ormudz channel. The state will find at last its geostrategic completeness.

We must remember that Iraqi oil fields too are located on the Jewish land. This may seem utopia to many now - but an even greater utopia seemed a hundred years ago the revival of the Jewish state...If you want it, this will not not be a fairy tale" --Rabbi Avrom Shmulevic of the Bead Artzein ("For the Homeland") Movement.

Hamas In Their Own Voices

A Brief History of the Middle East Conflict

The Noahide Nations

After the Battle of Har Megiddo will come the Wedding of Lamb and the establishment of the new New Covenant. We'll discuss this more soon.

Again, the extreme and global devastation that will occur during the Tribulation Period, coupled with the redrawing and redefining of regional borders by Rex Mundi and his administration, prevents us from saying with any certainty what the map of the future will look like -- other than Eretz Israel. However as Moshiach takes his throne, as the "Wife of the Lamb" take up their roles as inheritors of the nations, we know from the prophets that the Gentiles will establish their own nations and regions. Of these Noahide Nations we read:

Zechariah 8:20 Thus says Yahweh of Armies: "Many peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come; 8:21 and the inhabitants of one shall go to another, saying, 'Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of Yahweh, and to seek Yahweh of Armies. I will go also.'
8:22 Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek Yahweh of Armies in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of Yahweh."
8:23 Thus says Yahweh of Armies: "In those days, ten men will take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, 'We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.'"

Then the godly leaders of the nations will seek guidance from Moshiach in Jerusalem as they go about restoring the earth, building new infrastructure and so on. The Noahides will seek counsel from Jewish representatives as from priests knowing that the One God is with them. Thus will be fulfilled the Word of HaShem:

Genesis 12:1 Now Yahweh said to Abram, "Get out of your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you.
12:2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. All of the families of the earth will be blessed in you."

The Jewish people are the key to everything. It is their Moshiach whom both Jews and Noahides await!

Moshiach!

19:13 He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called "The Word of God."
19:14 The armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white, pure, fine linen.
19:15 Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.
19:16 He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

There are those who expect to look into the sky one day and see warhorses thundering across the clouds carrying white clad, blood splattered warriors following the mounted Y'shua -- who will have a giant sword literally protruding from his mouth.

Whether taken literally or symbolically, it is difficult to conceive of the Y'shua we know from the Gospels, from our direct experiences in prayer, meditation and from our daily Walks of faith being the warrior and conquering king described here by John. How could the loving, compassionate Y'shua who told Peter to "Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword" (Matt 26:52) now be leading armed warriors into the Middle East for a blood bath?

The coming of Moshiach is of pivotal importance so let's invest the time to consider him without preconceived assumptions.

Have the Key Messianic Prophecies Been Fulfilled Yet?

To this question Jews will answer no while many (if not most) Nicene Christians will automatically answer yes. However for those of either religion who know the messianic prophecies contained in the Hebrew Scriptures it is obvious that had the essential Messianic Prophecies been fulfilled there would be no reason for the "Second Coming" and the world would have long ago become a very different place. Because these prophecies have not been fulfilled the Nicene Creed states, in part:

... he was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, ... ascended into heaven ... and from thence he shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end. (First Council of Constantinople -- 381 CE).

The cardinal role of the biblical Moshiach is the establishment of the Kingdom.

Let's examine the qualifications, nature and purpose of Moshiach in order to gain a deeper and more accurate understanding of what John is now describing.

As discussed previously, before the scene described here at Revelation 19:11-16 takes place Moshiach and his valiant forces will have already sacked and utterly destroyed the city of Rome (global headquarters of Babylon the Great). We know from John's prophecy that Moshiach will be directly present and guiding his forces from at least the point when he opens the first of the Seven Seals and Master Y'shua assured us that he will be with us "... always, even until the end of the age" (Matt 28:20).

As we have seen, although there will be frequent angelic participation as the events unfold, the armies of Moshiach will be the Great Multitude, material and fully human people. Despite the flowery language these will not be celestial horses and riders but human armies of Moshiach heading into the valley of Megiddo. The lofty description is an attempt to impart the sense of the glory this band will manifest as soldiers of HaShem. We'll consider the main proof text used to support a literal interpretation of this scene (that being Acts 1:11) below.

Identifying the Moshiach

According to the holy prophets Moshiach will be a great political leader descended from King David. This is taught here:

Jeremiah 23:5 Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name by which he shall be called: Yahweh Our Righteousness.
23:7 Therefore behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that they shall no more say, As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 23:8 but, As Yahweh lives, who brought up and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them. They shall dwell in their own land.

Consider:

When were the Jews scattered as Prophet Jeremiah described? Answer: In 70 CE.

When was Y'shua executed? Answer: Circa 26-33 CE, several decades before the Diaspora or global exile of the Jewish people.

Consider:

When did the Jews begin their return to Israel and Jerusalem? Answer: In the late 1800's but more specifically in 1948 and 1967 CE.

Did Y'shua lead the Jews back to Jerusalem during his early ministry as these verses say? Answer: No, he did not. Indeed as he foretold in Matthew's account of his teachings, the Diaspora occurred and the Jewish people were scattered across the globe:

Matthew 23:37 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!
23:38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. 23:39 For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
24:1 Y'shua went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
24:2 But he answered them, "You see all of these things, don't you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down."

Consider:

Moshiach's central task is to establish Israel as the global power. Yet Master Y'shua stated:

John 18:36 "... My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn't be delivered to the Judeans. But now my Kingdom is not from here."

Consider:

Did Master Y'shua ever sit on the throne of David as Jeremiah foretold and rule the Jews or anyone else? Answer: No, he did not.

Consider:

The text says "In his days Judah shall be saved..." and yet throughout the life of our Master the Jews were oppressed and governed by Gentiles.

Consider this prophecy:

Isaiah 11:1 A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit....
11:4 but with righteousness he will judge the poor,

and decide with equity for the humble of the earth.
He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth;

and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked....
11:9 They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain;

for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh,

as the waters cover the sea...
11:10 It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will be glorious. 11:11 It will happen in that day that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Egypt... 11:12 He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth...

Consider:

The Third Jerusalem Temple must be built in his lifetime:

Ezekiel 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in their midst forevermore. 37:27 My tent also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 37:28 The nations shall know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in their midst forevermore.

Consider:

Moshiach will Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel:

Isaiah 43:5 Don't be afraid; for I am with you.

I will bring your seed from the east,

and gather you from the west.
43:6 I will tell the north, 'Give them up!'

and tell the south, 'Don't hold them back!

Bring my sons from far,

and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
43:7 everyone who is called by my name,

and whom I have created for my glory,

whom I have formed,

yes, whom I have made.'"

Consider:

Moshiach will usher in an era of world peace and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As the prophet says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4)

Consider:

Under the reign of Moshiach universal knowledge of the God of Israel will unite humanity as one:

Zechariah 14:9 Yahweh will be King over all the earth. In that day Yahweh will be one, and his name one.

Has Moshiach Come yet?

Thus far these and other essential Messianic prophecies have not been fulfilled.

Since essential messianic prophecies have yet to be fulfilled by anyone, including Y'shua the Anointed, Judaism says Moshiach has not yet come. Nicene Christians on the other hand proclaim Y'shua as Moshiach. So...

What Does Moshiach Mean?

Nicene Christianity uses the title Messiah in a very different way than Hebrew, Jews, the Torah, the Tanack and/or the biblical prophets. This leads to unnecessary disagreements as it is obvious that key prophecies have yet to be fulfilled.

The word Messiah in English (Moshiach in Hebrew) has come to mean a savior or the one "hoped-for deliverer," however the original word in Hebrew simply means "anointed." In Biblical Hebrew the title Moshiach references anyone who has been anointed to a position of authority, including Pagan kings like Cyrus the Great (Isa. 45:1: Thus says Yahweh to his anointed [mashiyach], to Cyrus...]. Another example is HaShem's High Priest who is referred to as the Kohen Hamoshiach or Anointed Priest.

In the Talmud the title Moshiach, or Melech Hamoshiach, ("King Messiah") is reserved for the coming Jewish leader who will fulfill the Messianic prophecies and establish and redeem people Israel as HaShem's Anointed Ruler of nation Israel to the holy land of Israel. The Moshiach will usher in an era of world peace and devotion to HaShem as Sovereign. John is describing the Moshiach here.

He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood: Moshiach (and his troops) will be coming to Jerusalem from the Battle of Roma. The blood of their conquests will still be visible as we saw in Chapter eighteen:

Revelation 18:20 "Rejoice over her [Babylon the Great and Roma], O heaven, and you holy ones, apostles, and prophets; for God's decree has avenged you on her."
18:21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.

How literal this imagery should be taken is debatable but it is mainly intended to confirm the time line in my opinion. The Holy Blood of the Martyrs and the suffering servants of HaShem (Isaiah 52-54) are symbols or proofs of why these mighty acts of divine intervention are righteous and just.

His name is called "The Word of God":

As we have seen, no one, including Y'shua the Anointed, has thus far fulfilled the Messianic prophecies. Can we identify who will fulfill the requirements? We have verses such as the following that make his identity certain:

Matthew 23:37 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I [i.e. Y'shua] would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!
23:38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. 23:39 For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

And again:

Acts 1:9 When he [Y'shua the Anointed] had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
1:10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing, 1:11 who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This same Y'shua, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."

Y'shua did not come to the Earth as Moshiach 2000 years ago. In that sojourn his kingdom was not of this world. He came to offer his people spiritual renewal and to graft the Noahides onto the Tree of Israel for the duration of the Times of the Gentiles as Paul explains in chapter eleven of the book of Romans as discussed previously. As Simeon was inspired to reveal to Mary, Y'shua would be:

Luke 2:32 a light for revelation to the nations,

and the glory of your people Israel."

The Master came to call everyone to the service of HaShem.

Even as Rex Mundi is alive today and preparing for his role, so too is Master Y'shua although the identity of both are concealed at this time.

As we saw above:

Revelation 19:12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written which no one knows but he himself.

Hence John ends his prophecy with these words:

22:20 He who testifies these things says, "Yes, I come quickly."

Amen! Yes, come, Master Y'shua.

Armageddon

19:17 I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, "Come! Be gathered together to the great supper of God, 19:18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, the small and great."

And now all these military forces that had been making their way to the Middle East will arrive for the final battle. The various factions will prepare to engage Rex Mundi but then Moshiach and his forces will take center stage and inspired by Lucifer they will all turn on him.

19:19 I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army.
19:20 The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
19:21 The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came forth out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh.

Recall that John previously revealed the following about this event, this reaping of the earth:

14:14 I looked, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud one like a son of man sat, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 14:15 Another angel came out from the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, "Send forth your sickle, and reap; for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!"
14:16 He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

14:17 Another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle. 14:18 Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Send forth your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth's grapes are fully ripe!"
14:19 The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
14:20 The winepress was trodden outside of the city [i.e. outside of Jerusalem], and blood came out from the winepress, even to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia [i.e. 182.8 miles (292.6 Kilometers)].

Here ends Chapter 19.
