BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 5: Revelation 19:17-21

by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

Summary of Revelation 19:17-21

An angel calls to the birds to eat the flesh of all those who have fallen before Jesus. The beast and the false prophet were captured and thrown into the lake of burning sulfur. The rest were killed and feasted on by the birds.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 5: Revelation 19:17-21

12) They will be killed and birds will eat their flesh.

13) A false god is anything put above the real God, so this includes wealth, other people, etc. People choose sinful ways over God’s ways and don’t repent over them. They are blinded by their sins.

14) I aim to do God’s will every chance I get. I also intend to tell more people about God and Jesus in hopes they choose God before it’s too late.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 5: Revelation 19:17-21

This is a sad picture of what will happen to unbelievers. It should spur you to spread the word more, especially to friends and family, so that all may be saved.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 5: Revelation 19:17-21

It’s not in the NIV, but in other Bible translations, the word “flesh” is used 5 times. This shows the importance of choosing God over our sinful ways.

It seems foolish to us, believers, to wage war against God and Jesus since it’s obvious who will win. But, unbelievers are blinded by hatred of Jesus, so they try anyway.

John did not describe the war. Most likely, it was a pure slaughter by Jesus.

The beast and the false prophet are thrown alive into the lake of fire (which is hell) before the final judgment (Revelation 20:11-15).

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 4: Revelation 19:11-16

by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

Summary of Revelation 19:11-16

John sees a white horse and rider whose name is Faithful and True (Jesus). He judges with justice and wages war. His name is the Word of God. His robe is dipped in blood. He has heavenly armies that follow him riding white horses. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword to strike down the nations. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: King of kings and lord of lords.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 4: Revelation 19:11-16

9) Jesus. Jesus is faithful and true to his word and promises. He is the Word of God, being God himself. Jesus is God.

10) Jesus’ robe is dipped in blood, the blood that cleanses us of our sins so that we can be forever with God. This is important since this is Salvation, the ultimate sacrifice in this world. Jesus is faithful and true to his promises to punish evil doers and bring heaven on earth one day.

11) These attributes of Jesus give me courage when my days are dark and help me keep moving forward to what God has planned for my life.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 4: Revelation 19:11-16

I love the visual John gives us of Jesus on a white horse with his army headed to punish unbelievers and bring heaven to earth once again. So amazing is our God!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 4: Revelation 19:11-16

Almost all Bible scholars see these verses as the Second Coming of Christ.

Jesus returns to Earth to reclaim it for us. Remember, in ancient times, not many people had horses, and most soldiers were foot soldiers.

Jesus will keep his promise to judge those on Earth after everyone has had time to repent of their sins.

Jesus’ judgment is righteous.

The many crowns show Jesus as the ultimate king. This is a far cry from the crown of thorns he wore the last time he was on Earth.

The blood could be Jesus’ blood he shed for our sins or the blood of his enemies.

The army is God’s people (Revelation 17:14, Jude 1:14-15) (angels, too), and their weapons are essentially the cleansing received from Jesus himself.

The word of God is like a sword coming from Jesus’ mouth.

Jesus will come to reign on earth with an iron rod as predicted Psalm 2

No one knows Jesus’s name because no one can comprehend him. Many Bible scholars believe the name written is Yahweh, the sacred name of God.

Fun Fact: God has almost 1,000 different names in the Bible.

Fun Fact: Yahweh appears in the Old Testament more than 6,800 times. It appears in every book except Ester, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 3: Revelation 19:6-10

by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

Summary of Revelation 19:6-10

The celebration in heaven continues after the fall of Babylon with the great multitude shouting and praising the Lord. The wedding of the Lamb has come. The angel says blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 3: Revelation 19:6-10

6a) Jesus’ salvation of those who believe in him and their final dwelling place in heaven.

b)

John 14:15-21: Jesus asked God to send us the Holy Spirit to guide us. Jesus died so that we may live.

John 15:9-17: Jesus loves us as much as God loves him. We are Jesus’ friends and he has given us knowledge of him to guide us. Jesus chose us to bear fruit. He gives us what we ask for. He offers us love and compassion.

2 Corinthians 11:2: “I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.” Godly jealousy is intense, showing us God’s continued love for us. We will be pure when we are married to Christ forever.

Ephesians 5:25-33: God gives us spouses to love one another as Christ loves us.

7) Believers

8a) Angels are below Jesus and God. We are not to worship anyone but the Lord and Jesus.

b) Nothing should be above God, so I try to ensure that nothing is.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 3: Revelation 19:6-10

I’ve always loved the picture of believers/the church as Christ’s bride. It’s such a relatable image, and it’s wonderful that one day the final wedding will take place and we’ll be with Jesus forever!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 3: Revelation 19:6-10

We see the concept of the church as Christ’s bride often in Scripture (2 Corinthians 11:2, Ephesians 5:25-32)

We see Israel/God’s people as God’s wife in the Old Testament (Hosea 2:19-20, Isaiah 54:5, Ezekiel 16)

Being clean is being pure, loyal, and faithful.

We are to be presented to Jesus as pure.

Nothing created (including angels) should ever be worshipped. Angels worship Jesus (Hebrews 1:6)

Prophecy reveals Jesus.

Fun Fact: The bride is the 4th and last woman mentioned in the book of Revelation in the Bible.

Here, we see the 4th beatitude or blessing in Revelation: “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper.”

Beatitudes of Revelation:

  1. Revelation 1:3
  2. Revelation 14:13
  3. Revelation 16:15
  4. Revelation 19:9
  5. Revelation 20:6
  6. Revelation 22:7
  7. Revelation 22:14

The bride is the church, and the wedding guests are believers.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 2: Revelation 19:1-5

by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

Summary of Revelation 19:1-5

Those in heaven (including the 24 elders and 4 living creatures) shouted after Babylon’s fall, praising God for His goodness, judgments, and revenge for His servants.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 2: Revelation 19:1-5

3) Salvation, glory, and power belong to God. Salvation is Jesus’ sacrifice for us so that we can have eternal life with God. Glory is God’s magnificence and His goodness, giving Him praise. Power is how God is in control of everything and how He can do whatever He wants.

4) Omniscence, omnipotent, just judgments, and how He keeps His promises. I would say all are important in some way to me. All offer me hope, encouragement, and courage to keep going, doing His will in this world.

5a) Babylon’s fall and final judgment

b) Worship in heaven is definitely inspiring. I’m not by nature very worshipful in terms of singing (maybe because I can’t sing), so seeing heaven so full of worship and singing helps me to express myself too.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 2: Revelation 19:1-5

Seems like those in heaven have been waiting a long time for God’s judgment. This gives us encouragement and hope as it can seem like we wait a long time for things to happen in our lives, too. Great lesson on keeping the faith and then celebrating when it happens!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 24, Day 2: Revelation 19:1-5

We first saw the great multitude in Revelation 7:9-14. Their prayer is answered here (Revelation 6:10) as Babylon falls.

Fun Fact: We’ll see the word “Hallelujah” 4 times in Revelation 19  It appears nowhere else in the New Testament. Hallelujah means “praise the Lord.”

God is being praised here for His righteous judgment.

The voice is most likely an angel’s voice.
