Revelation Part 4 Lesson 13

Questions You Still Have? Why do the nations need the leaves from the Tree of Life for healing? Healing from what? Rev. 22:2 Who eats the fruit of the Tree of Life? Why? What does Revelation 22:11 mean? What do we eat at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb? WHEN is the Marriage Supper of the Lamb? Are there TWO wars? Rev. 19:19-21; 20:7-10 Where will I be at the rapture? 2nd Coming?

Marriage Supper of the Lamb AFTER the harlot is judged Rev. 19:2 AFTER He has avenged the blood of His bondservants on Babylon Rev. 19:2 AFTER the Bride has made herself ready Rev. 19:7 She is clothed in fine linen – the righteous acts of the saints – therefore the saints = the Bride The Supper is in heaven, so it is BEFORE Christ’s 2nd coming. The armies which were following Him are clothed in Fine Linen = the Bride Rev. 19:14 Eph. 5 & 2 Cor. 11 Bride of Christ = the Church

Wedding Garments In the parable, one wedding guest was thrown out for not having on wedding garments/clothes Righteousness is the result of salvation. No righteousness. No garments. No Bride. Ponder: Why does a bride put so much work into her wedding? Especially the wedding dress? Luke 12:35 Be dressed in readiness Matt. 25 These virgins brought oil: they are ready Jewish custom: Betrothal The church is betrothed to Christ. She is His Bride Groom has a procession to the Bride’s home, then she is taken to HIS home

Those Invited to the Supper Blessed IN HEAVEN, Before 2nd Coming Rev. 19:9 Those invited to the Supper are NOT the Bride, they are guests. Could be Old Testament believers. Matt. 22 Unwilling to come Jews Paid no attention Seized the slaves, mistreated them and killed them Slaves’ blood was avenged on them Not worthy On the main highways Could be the multitude from the nations who are saved out of the Great Tribulation Gathered from both good and evil Many are called, few are chosen vs. 14

Christ’s Millennial Reign Christ’s coming as King of kings begins the 1,000 year reign Rev. 20:2 Satan will be bound during this time Satan CANNOT deceive the nations vs. 3 Judgment is given to the saints who had died during the Great Tribulation and they reign with Christ for 1,000 years vs. 4 Rest of the dead, unsaved, do not come to life until the 1,000 year reign is completed vs. 5 The one who has part in the 1st resurrection will be priests of God and will reign with Christ vs. 6 Satan will be released at the end vs. 7

Jesus as King Luke 1 He will receive the throne of David and reign over Israel forever Rev. 12 & 19 He will rule the nations Dan. 7 All nations will serve Him. He will be given a dominion, glory and a kingdom Is. 9 He will be the Prince of Peace, peace because He keeps peace and IS peace…no end to peace Zech. 14 Lord will be king over ALL the earth Drought will come on those families that do not go up and worship So, there is still rebellion Bells on the horses inscribed “Holy to the Lord” Cooking pots will be holy to the Lord

Jesus’ Kingdom Dan. 2 Never destroyed, not left for another people, crushes, puts an end to all “these” kingdoms and it endures forever It was promised to Israel Is. 11 Jerusalem will be raised above the hills and from it will go forth God’s Word Zech. 14 ALL nations will be part of it In Jerusalem, decisions will be made for the nations Is. 11 The nations will not war with one another. Is. 2 Jesus will rule with a rod of iron BECAUSE of those born during the millennial reign who are NOT righteous: those that gather for war at the end

Is. 65 Is it about the millennium or not? There seems to be a life span vs. 20 & 22 I create NEW heavens and a NEW earth vs. 17 Animals will do no harm in all God’s holy mountain; does that include the WHOLE earth? vs.25 Is there still death then? Death is our last enemy and is thrown into the Lake of Fire AFTER Satan Rev. 20:14 Revelation 21 begins the New Heaven and New Earth
