Revelation 19:11




Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse.  And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.


  • ·        When Jesus comes, He comes on a white horse. In Biblical times, especially among Israel, most soldiers were foot soldiers. To have a horse in battle was a significant advantage. A horse spoke of honor, of power, and of speed; the color of this horse speaks of victory.   (DG)

  • ·        Faithful and True: This glorious title shows Jesus is the keeper of promises, including His promises of judgment.   (DG)

  • ·        He is righteous in all His proceedings (MH)

Psalm 72:2  He will judge Your people with righteousness, and Your poor with justice.

Isaiah 11:4  But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.

Revelation 19:10




And I fell at his feet to worship him.  But he said to me, “See that you do not do that!  I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus.  Worship God!  For the Testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”


  • ·        There are important differences between humans and angels, but both are servants of the same Lord.  (DG)

  • ·        The true spirit of prophecy always shows itself in bearing witness to Jesus. “Any teaching of prophecy that takes our minds and hearts away from Him is not being properly communicated.” (Hocking)

Psalm 5:7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; in fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.

Psalm 19:7  The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

Revelation 19:9




Then he said to me, “Write:  ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’”  And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”


  • ·        One reason this great multitude is so filled with praise is because the time has come for the Lamb of God to be joined unto His people, in a union so close it can only be compared to the marriage of a man and a woman.  (DG)

  • ·        On that day, everyone will see the church for what she really is: the precious bride of Jesus. “The Bride of Christ is a sort of Cinderella now, sitting among the ashes. She is like her Lord, ‘despised and rejected of men’; the watchmen smite her, and take away her veil from her; for they know her not, even as they knew not her Lord. But when he shall appear, then shall she appear also, and in his glorious manifestation she also shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of the Father.” (Spurgeon)

Deuteronomy 6:9  You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Psalm 119:160  The entirety of Your word is truth….
