were as a flame of fire: and on his head were many
diadems. And he had a name written, which no man knoweth but himself.

19:13. And he was clothed with a garment sprinkled with blood. And his
name is called: THE WORD OF GOD.

19:14. And the armies that are in heaven followed him on white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

19:15. And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp two-edged sword, that
with it he may strike the nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of
iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of
God the Almighty.

19:16. And he hath on his garment and on his thigh written: KING OF
KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

19:17. And I saw an angel standing in the sun: and he cried with a loud
voice, saying to all the birds that did fly through the midst of heaven:
Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God:

19:18. That you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of tribunes and
the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of them that sit on
them: and the flesh of all freemen and bondmen and of little and of

19:19. And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies,

his army.

19:20. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who
wrought signs before him, wherewith he seduced them who received the
character of the beast and who adored his image. These two were cast
alive into the pool of fire burning with brimstone.

19:21. And the rest were slain by the sword of him that sitteth upon the
horse, which proceedeth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled
with their flesh.

Apocalypse Chapter 20

Satan is bound for a thousand years. The souls of the martyrs reign with
Christ in the first resurrection. The last attempts of Satan against the
church. The last judgment.

20:1. And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

20:2. And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the

Bound him, etc... The power of Satan has been very much limited by the
passion of Christ: for a thousand years; that is, for the whole time of
the New Testament; but especially from the time of the destruction of
Babylon or pagan Rome, till the new efforts of Gog and Magog against the
church, towards the end of the world. During which
