2. INTRODUCTION Christians are raptured – (At the last Trumpet) God’s Wrath is being poured out on the world – Chap. 16 Focus on 7 th Bowl and the Great Prostitute – Chapters 17-18 (A political, economic and RELIGIOUS entity connected to the anti-christ in the last days.) NOW CHAPTER 19 – The Scene Shifts to HEAVEN! READ – 19:11-16

3. Rev 19:11-16 11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. (NIV)

5. I. The Rider on the White Horse… Rev 6:1-2 1I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!" 2I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. ____________________________________________________________________ REV 6 REV 19 Shown from the seal opened Comes from Heaven itself! Given a Crown Many Crowns – King of Kings! Bent on conquest He IS Conqueror and Ruler! Prophecy of the coming antichrist Prophecy of the coming CHRIST!

6. II.His Name is Faithful and True This is the Whole Message of the Bible! God is Faithful and True! It is ESPECIALLY the point of Revelation Chapters 16-19! Jesus is God in the flesh and He is God’s FAITHFULLNESS and TRUTH personified! These are more than “personality traits” – THEY are His NAME! They are WHO He is! He is Faithful – He can be counted upon. He can be depended upon. He keeps His promises! THE WORLD SYSTEM IS UN-FAITHFUL! He is True – There is no falsehood, deceit or darkness within Him. THE WORLD SYSTEM IS FILLED WITH DECEIT! A CLOSER LOOK AT VERSE 11:

7. III.With JUSTICE He Judges and makes war… Makes War – against evil, sin, Satan and his kingdom of darkness. He Judges – with “Justice” “Justice vs. Mercy” A CLOSER LOOK AT VERSE 11:
