Plumbing the Depths of Revelation 45

Following the joyful celebration in heaven of the destructiong of Babylon and the "wedding supper of the Lamb", the tone changes significantly. John sees a white horse whose rider is, "King of Kings and Lord of Lords", who is clearly the Lord Jesus Christ. He is prepared to return to earth with the "armies of heaven" following behind Him to destroy the massed armies of the earth under the beast. The battle is quick and decisive, as both the beast and false prophet are captured, while their armies are killed.
