Revelation: The Terrible and the Good - Pt 12
Revelation: The Terrible and the Good - Pt 12
By Stephen Bennett
(Rev: Chapter 19) March 3 / 2022
A Moment of Silence
I sit pondering in the long quiet after witnessing the fall of Babylon, but in my moment of solitude, much activity is stirring in heaven; most of it seems to be on the other side of the crystal sea. The echoes of an‘Alleluia’ song drift across the crystalline blue and the smell of horses wafts in the atmosphere. I hear the laughter of multitudes and a sense of excitement bouncing through heaven’s airspace.
Adriquel is curled up in his mammoth wings, resting peacefully in the woolly-cloud-set-corner, but he’s awake, his piercing eyes watch everything. Meanwhile, other angels are enlarging the landscape universe doorway, to such a grand size it’s hard to fathom. Many younger looking angels are running to and fro in the dawning light of the throne room, preparing for what seems like a supreme grand event.
Jesus and Me
The giant rainbow, hovers horizontally around the throne making a peaceful humming sound. The emerald greens and rainbow colours light up the sky; I am captured by its beauty and colour. What a time, what a place! I see a bright white light on the throne; the figure of an ancient man sitting regal in His place. Suddenly, my Lord Jesus is standing in front of me; I’m momentarily confused.
Behind him hover six very tall angelic seraphim, each with six wings, and a company of other senior angels either side. He kind of looks the same as I knew Him, but His eyes are on fire, and His voice has a deep echo. He wears a white glowing robe, and a golden crown sits on his head; the Lord seems excited and in a hurry; immediately He spoke.
“John… As you can see, My Father is on the throne for this moment, in all His happy glory, while I go and prepare, but He will keep watch over you…” He paused briefly, to cast a warm look toward His Father. I asked, “Lord how long?” Turning back to me, knowing my thoughts, He spoke again with tears in His fiery eyes…
“Yes… it is time John… You have done exceedingly well. It get’s crazy busy from here on in. I must go and complete my readiness for what I have waited so long for. I promise I’ll see you on the other side of it. One day soon we’ll have some great time together. I thank you from the depths of my heart for all you have faithfully completed; there is still much to show you, so have a grand finish ok!” Again He paused, smiling directly at me…
The Lord continued… “Look… I know you will complete your task well, as you have always done. Millions of people will hear and be enlightened toward Me, and will be blessed from your work here in heaven… John… I’m with you always.” He just stood there smiling, eyes ablaze; I felt His heart beating with an eternal happiness; the time had now come, for the plan He’d waited patiently for, to arrive.
I stood up; He hugged me tightly in front of everyone; then quickly, two of the seraphim came over and ‘covered his face’… as it now shone very brightly… then ‘two covered His feet’… and suddenly, the other two came alongside Him, and with those ‘two He flew’ away at lightening speed, across the blue crystal sea towards the ‘Alleluia’ music (Isaiah 6). I didn’t get a chance to say anything, but his touch left a buzzing power in me that coursed through my whole body like lightning. It made me feel… I could do anything!
New Song ‘Alleluia’
I sat down, still tingling; I looked over at Adriquel, who’d stood up in the Lord’s presence, picked up my now glowing writing stick, and was about to write some thoughts when… ‘I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honour and power to the Lord our God! For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her!’ (Rev 19:1-2). This ancient Hallel, called on all to worship the true Lord that saves and avenges his people. The new song echoed all through heaven from the other-side of the crystal sea; something grand had begun to reset the world. The sound grew louder and louder…
‘Again they said, “Alleluia! And her smoke rises up forever and ever!” (Rev 19:3). It is abundantly clear, that the ancient history of the great whore of Babylon and her influence on God’s creation, is finally over. Heaven responded with celebration.
Immediately the Father on the throne stood up with His hands raised in joy; the room was now full of bright white light emanating from God. The horizontal rainbow rotated at great speed, spinning breathtaking colours into the atmosphere that I, or no other human had ever seen. Then suddenly, ‘the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!” (Rev 19:4). The response melodies, and the antiphonal harmonious sounds are infectious; joy filled every space in heaven. I am overwhelmed, but I must write… as all I want to do is dance!
Sound in Heaven
The music and song here is profound, large and loud; unlike on earth. It sounds… er… very futuristic; other worldly, with soaring echoes, and deep tones I’ve never heard, like mighty rushing water, rumbling thunder and cracking lightning, all rolled into one. I’d wondered what music would be like sung on earth by believers in the end days. Would it be as our quieter hymns in Jerusalem, or just business for the multitudes, or more of what I see, in the unleashed expression of heaven with its immense governing power?
All I know is, the music here has major importance in the balance of things, and when proclaimed for specific reasons at pivotal moments, you can feel a certain shifting and profound change in this atmosphere.
I understood now, from being here in heaven, it is more than just the cute, pleasing singing we do in synagogues, but song and sound is a battle tool; exalting authority, especially the celebration of God’s glory and all His goodness toward us. It causes tangible rulership to be asserted into the airspaces, and spiritual things are released to make a way for the Lord’s purposes; evil and its strategies just cannot exist or function in this sound.

Invite 1: Jesus’ Marriage Supper Party
I spun around from my work, Adriquel is by my side doing a jig, ‘then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!” (Rev 19:5). The angelic voice, is an echoing command that seems to shoot through the universe landscape doorway and reach the entirety of the heavens; as like the singing with all the animals and creation some time back (Rev 5:13).
Adriquel is flapping his mammoth wings with glee now, like a happy kid; he makes my parchment pack fly to the floor. I quickly pick it up, but then… ‘I heard, as it were the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! for the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” (Rev 19:6-7).
The song repeated over and over, louder and louder. In the distance, around the edges of the crystal sea, I see millions of beings, angels, people, the saints, elders, creatures, singing with unabashed love for our God, who continually sits on the throne. In this theatre, and after seeing the bowl judgements, God is now dramatically establishing and declaring His reign in heaven and earth; all I could do was cry with ecstatic joy.
The Supper Bride
Then the many voices declared the wedding of the groom, as Jesus told us on earth (Matt 25:6,10). This is His party and all the guests are His wife, as strange as that sounds, and somewhere on earth they’re all ready as in heaven. ‘And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.’ (Rev 19:8). The bride of Christ is all those who are washed clean in the blood of Jesus, who belong to Him through their faith.
I must say… any believer who receives Jesus Christ as Saviour is a part of the bride of Christ. The Church on earth He established, is the historic era where over the centuries, God calls forth the bride for His Son Jesus to be betrothed to Him. Like a dowry, Jesus paid the price of His own life for His bride. In Christ, all believers are legally married to Jesus Christ by faith and living in His Word, which in truth keeps us as pure virgins, with our lamps trimmed with oil ready for Him eternally (Matt 25:1-13).
‘For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.’ (2 Cor. 11:2) ‘Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word’ (Eph 5:25-26). Then another saying came my way…
Who’s Allowed In?
The angel, ‘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.” (Rev 19:9). The invitation to Jesus’s wedding is for the Jews and Gentiles who believe, and those of the tribulation, to come to the marriage feast of Christ and His bride, the Church. You can only come through your faith in Jesus, which is the gold leaf wedding invite, giving you the reward of a righteous white linen gown to wear, and to get into the feast; the great celebration 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ, after the woes of the great tribulation. It is the most blessed time of history on earth.
The bride (you who believes) makes herself ready. How? In believing and being saved, by follow the leading of the Holy Spirit through faith in the word of God, bringing forth the fruit of good works that clothe our lives in the fine linen of Jesus’ righteousness. We do this by abiding or living in Christ, and standing strong, for without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5-8, Eph 6:10-13). Blessed are those who are the friend of the bridegroom Jesus, and have made themselves ready to be a part of history.
‘He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.’ (John 3:29). This all brings great joy and happiness to God.
Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy
I don’t know why, but I was overwhelmed by all the massive ‘Alleluia’ music, and then the wonderful revelation of this specific writing request about the announcement of the Lord’s marriage feast. I started to lift the writing stick to the parchment, ‘and I fell at his feet to worship him.’ I just did it… the atmosphere, with all the intense worship coursing through me, I just couldn’t stand up; it seemed the right thing to do in the moment, then the messenger looked down at me firmly. ‘But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! (Ok wrong move sorry!). 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.” (Rev 19:10).
I immediately stood back up, and apologetically replied. “Of course you are right, we are fellow brethren. I must not delay the writing, and will keep my mind on the message and er… not you, and… yes… we have the spirit of prophecy, because we love the Lord… and… so… this prophecy and message is of utmost importance, I… I will write all that down now as you say… as these words will be His scripture and will point to Jesus the message, and of course the one we must worship… thank you for the reminder!” The fellow-bond-slave-servant-to-Jesus-angel, just stood there and waited, until I finished the words he commanded me to scribe.
All this happened in the midst of the grand noise of the chorus, ‘For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!’ Over and over the wonderful melody rang through our ears. The angel’s wing then rested on my shoulder. I look up, as he turns my head toward the enlarged doorway to the universe opening; the sight surrounding us, is unlike anything I have ever seen in my life…

Open Heaven
It is… as if every portal, every space, every purpose in the universe opened up wide and unrestrained, and I saw my Lord for the first time… in all His glory.
After all, these writings given me to do, are about ‘the revelation of Jesus Christ’ (Rev 1:1), and we are at the time now in the story of His greatest reveal. ‘Then 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. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.’ (Rev 19:11-12).
I am in total awe of this fully displayed new advent Jesus, with fiery red eyes that search and see into everything and everyone… and so many crowns of His absolute sovereignty on His head, it is a miracle how the diadems stayed there. Rightly, way more than the mere ten horned crowns of the tyrant beast (Rev 17:3).
The Great Reveal of Heaven’s Jesus
I stared at Jesus on the white horse with my mouth gaping, the fire in His eyes caught mine, but He turned away looking at His Father on the throne. They both nodded to each other. I flashed back to when He was on earth, referring to Himself as the Son of Man, as if talking about someone else (Luke 18:31-33). It was now, that I understood what He meant.
Even though He was Jesus the Son of Man on earth, who at the time, came to us full of truth, grace and mercy, as our Saviour; He couldn’t be who He fully is… as God of heaven. He’d laid that aside to be the sacrificial Lamb; to suffer for us, die for our sins, resurrect, and reconcile us back to Himself.
But now here in heaven, I was not just looking at Jesus the Son of Man, as the disciples and I knew him on earth, but Jesus Christ, the fully blown Son as He truly is. The faithful, ideal, true and genuine leader, who has all eternal wisdom and knowledge, and never changes (Heb 13:8). Unlike the many government leaders on earth, and the recent Antichrist beast liar-one-world-tyrant-suppress-the-people-dictator, Jesus Christ is the perfect ruler; reliable, and always to be trusted with fulfilling His word and promises. Now… is the great reveal of all He is, at this pinnacle of His-tory.
Who’s Riding the Great Wild White Horses
Right now… amidst all the cacophony of noise and music, here He is; sitting on a big beautiful mighty beast of a wild white horse, in all His bright glory. King of the Universe; The Creator Warrior who fights to the end for all that belongs to Him. The triumphant sovereign Lord, full of power and dominion, about to bring His kingdom to earth; with all creation now under His feet forever, at this auspicious time for the complete end of the rebellion of men and angels (Eph 1:22; Psalm 2).
Jesus always has focused intention, but this is now next level, where He’s completely ready to make full blown end-time war at the hour of His righteousness wrath and judgements. I thought, there is no stopping Him until it is done, woe to those who oppose Him on earth!
‘He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.’ (Rev 19:13-14). The clean white host armies of angels and redeemed saints, permanently clothed by God Himself protecting them for battle, were gathered behind Him; the numbers so vast, they stretch beyond the crystal sea as far as you could imagine.
I’d never seen so many wild white horses, heaven is so immense, and the cosmic space has prepared them all for this moment for a long time. Great warrior angels with giant swords like javelins, were also in large groups all around Him; His protectors, in an atmosphere of a King absolutely ready to complete the long term plan of aeons; His look said, “Let’s end all this!”
I AM the Word of God
Mounted on His steed before me, is the Living Book fully Alive, Jesus the Light. The Word of God made flesh, who I had written about (John1:1-18). The Lord of many names; Christ, the complete library of life, and the full manifestation, plan and revelation of the Godhead. The Living Word of grace and truth. His own blood declares, ‘I did my part as the Son and now its time to close this human chapter and reset everything anew.’
He wasn’t as the tyrannical Roman generals I’d seen in Israel, triumphant in their pride on white horses. But Jesus is the King and reigning general of the whole universe, taking His procession of millions of white horses, to finally remove all the enemies of heaven and earth once and for all. Like His victory, in defeating death and satan on the cross of Calvary, when He ‘disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them’ (Col 2:15). What a moment to be witnessing…
King of kings and Lord of lords
I am right beside the universe doorway with Adriquel; we look at each other very excited. Ringside seats are ours, to bear witness to one of the greatest moments in history; feeling privileged is an understatement. In the midst, my glowing writing stick wrote furiously as I looked up at the Lord again. There’s some real neat tricks to find in this scribing device!
‘Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule with a rod of Iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.’ (Rev 19:15-16).
The sound of millions of hooves stomping, and the snort of millions of horses smelling the battle to come, grew louder and louder. The ‘Alleluia’ music filled the air with expectancy. The King is ready to war; totally quash His enemies, rule earth, and fulfil His judgements. His robe already dipped in blood that His enemies will shed in their death in that judgement.
His own royal title, King of kings and Lord of lords, is written in red on His brand new white robe, and the name overlaps down the robe onto the left thigh of His white to knee riding pants. This name speaks of His everlasting, immoveable kingship, ruling over everything forever, with absolute governing unbreakable authority, where lawlessness will never be tolerated again. He will rule with the iron strength of justice and love; our grand Shepherd who cares and provides. He completes it all by returning to the Mount of Olives where we used to sit and ponder, but now He is with rage and anger in action; executing His full judgement by treading the winepress of His fierce wrath against His enemies (Rev 14:20).
There is much blood shed, and He will continue the ‘tread’ until all His enemies are slain or brought to Him in the great final throne judgement (Rev 20:11-15). It will be too late for mercy or repentance after Christ appears in heaven. His long suffering tolerance with man, comes to an end with complete annihilation of all enemies; as in the days of Noah when he entered the boat and the torrential rains came to take them all away.
The Freedom Ride
All of this is so overwhelming; my immediate crazy thought as I observe His name on the robe is, ‘that’s a really cool font, I wonder what it’s called.’ And you know what… He also has another name written that no one can see or know where it is, not even me; it is for His eyes only, and maybe one day we’ll find out; He certainly has a thing for names!
With that, Jesus somehow took the hilt of the long sharp slender sword, from out of His mouth, held it high above His head and shouted “Freedom!” It is the sword of the Lord’s word for all those that reject Him; as it is written, the ‘word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.’ (John 12:48). Heaven’s host armies followed suit with incredibly loud voices, echoing His word! “Freedom! Freedom!” ‘Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.’ (Rev 1:7).
Heaven’s Armies Move Out
All of a sudden Jesus squeezed His horse with his legs, and the great royal beast bounded through the enlarged universe doorway followed by the armies, all heading to earth; it was crazy seeing the horses fly through the air. Thick cracking lightning, began to flash across the universe emanating from heaven, accompanied by glorious swirling clouds of joy and presence.
The noise was monumental, the music overwhelming. Father God stood up on His throne, loudly singing blessings over all the passing multitude of riders; His long white hair blowing in the winds that whipped in from all directions. It was only He who knew this day and hour, and the Father is ecstatic, for now it has come (Mark 13:32). What a wait it has been…all the riders were encouraged as they bounded into the heaven’s.
The wild white-horse army riders also created a symphony of noise: the creaking of well oiled leather, the clanging of gold and silver tack, the rhythm of a gazillion hooves shod in a glowing metal that lights up the sky, amidst all the shouting and joyful ‘yehah’s!’ The great armies had prepared for millennia for this moment, and here I am with Adriquel soaking it all in; the future will never be the same!
Suddenly the noise faded to a hum, as the horses and riders move through the universe doorway in slow-motion. I feel a little faint, maybe I have been standing for too long, or maybe I need food again, but no… it is something else; Holy Spirit is speaking to me with understanding, and Adriquel is now holding me up covering me with His wings.
Jesus is speaking in my head the words from Mt Olivet all those years ago. ‘And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; mens hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near’ (Luke 21:25-28).
‘Do Not be Snared’
‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away… the day will come unexpectedly… as a snare on the whole earth… pray always that you be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man’ (Luke 33-36). My heart bled for all those on earth who had not received Jesus, for the unexpected day had come. I felt His compassion and His concern, for He desires all men to be saved (1 Tim 2:4), as with the whole nation of Israel too (Romans 11:26). This day… is a snare where there is no easy release.
On earth right now, as in the days of Noah (Luke 17:26, 24-30), many will be at noisy party’s, drunk, and concerned only for the affairs of their lives and business; numbing the anxieties, stress and pressures of living in a dying world. Little do they know it is the actual end of human history as we have known, and it’s now time to look up, as millions of white horses are about to descend from heaven with their Saviour in the second coming of Christ; bringing a final close to the tribulation and the wrath of God. I prayed they will not be snared, and it becomes too late for them (V34).
I was frozen in a time warp that seemed to take forever, until the last of millions of horses, amidst multiple lightning flashes in the sky, disappeared into the atmosphere heading toward earth. The sounds of heaven came back into my hearing, and I noticed all my thoughts are written on the glowing parchment; ahh… heaven’s help. The glorious music continued, yet more swirly and atmospheric; ambient everywhere music. Father God had disappeared from the throne to apparently prepare for more events coming up in heaven’s schedule. Meanwhile an army of young angels were busy mucking out the throne room. Mucking you say?!
The Clean Up
Yes! There is a serious amount of mess: loads of straw, poop droppings, yellow liquid sprays (yew!), and various pieces of tack that had been knocked from horses in the multitude of the galloping fray. It seemed a normal thing to me, as we would see back at home in the horse barns and stalls. Sometimes things in heaven were so… yes… normal. A very long table had fresh garments for everyone in the clean up… they needed them. Adriquel brushed my shoulder with a wing and asked, “How are you feeling?” I replied, “Ok I guess” “Let’s get you something to eat!” He said, gesturing to a table nearby (food had become a thing up here, since the first time I realised how hungry I was).
I am amazed; even in this historic moment and the post clean up operation, I am still remembered with the hospitality of heaven… and Adriquel had even picked me a clean set of clothes to wear; I must admit I was smelling a bit high! The hooves had sprayed up a lot of eliminated ‘pup’ around!
The food was delicious, and obviously prepared like a week long wedding catering buffet for everyone to graze as needed. There are even pieces of a white cake, with the words ‘Celebrating the Kings Stampede’ on many a slice. God know’s how to look after everyone at His parties. After I’d eaten and took a little time to rest, I felt much better. Adriquel then came to me and said, “Come and see…!” I dutifully walked to the Universal doorway and behold another sign appeared, as Jesus said years ago would happen.

Calling all Birds
‘Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to the birds that fly in the midst of heaven. “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God… (there was a pause and I thought, ‘great more food’ but not what I anticipated), “that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people free, and slave, both small and great.” (Rev 19:17-18). It seemed, all that would be on this menu is Fresh Flesh, served only in a soup of blood vinaigrette.
Standing in the sun so everyone could see his silhouette, is a monstrously big angel, who it seems, has an immunity to heat; his role, Protector of the Birds, known in heaven as Angel Birdman. And there he is, sending out an important world-wide glory bird call, from as close to the searing hot sun as you can get; of all places! Heralding every kind of feathered friend to assemble and eat the spoils of war the Lord had just gone to fight; particularly the mid-heaven high-flyers, the ruling wingspan bomber eagles, vultures, buzzard birds and the majestic 10ft wide Andean Condor.
They’re the cleaners, the ones who know how to get rid of everything without a trace… but hey bring your little pals too, there will be plenty of crimson crumbs for them. The food? Human and animal flesh of all blood types! From every king and captain to every free and slave, and all in between, the Lord is no respecter of persons (Rom 2:6-11). Where there is death there are the birds. The call: eat absolutely everything and be wing-flapping merry!
I looked through the universe doorway… The atmosphere all around the earth, was now covered in a swirling mass of magical global murmurations of every swooping feathered creature, all heading to Israel for the feast of a life-time; the end-time-second-coming, post-war-bird-fest. It is the second supper invite; the First: The Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Now: The Great God Supper - Food for the Birds, The invite: please turn up! Come and eat the final worthless and undesirable flesh of the enemies of humans and horses… nothing at all… can be left.
I had already seen in the judgements, the great valley of blood, the kings, the beast, and the deceived armies who had come to fight the Lord at His return (Rev 16,17). Again it is presented to me; the closing of their chapter that fulfilled the words of the Lord and their final end.
Quick War Armageddon
‘And the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming’ (2 Thess 2:8). So… as you saw, the Lord King of kings and heaven’s armies had departed for the Mount of Olives on earth, and then the last battle at the valley of Megiddo, Armageddon. Whilst on their way, in heaven’s theatre, ‘I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army’ (Rev 19:19).
This is the final phase of the great tribulation warfare that has been building for some time; to culminate at Armageddon at the return of Jesus. It started with the Antichrist invasion of the king of the north (Gog and Magog; Russia) and his allies, mid-way in the tribulation (Ezek 38-39). The tyrant Antichrist honours the god of war and fortresses, not the God of heaven. The northern king is then destroyed by the Lord God Himself, on the mountain ranges of Palestine.
The Antichrist west armies then move to Palestine, break the treaty of peace with Israel, and attack other countries in the world including Egypt for their wealth and resources (Dan 11:40-43). At the end of the tribulation the kings of the East arrive in Israel to battle with the Antichrist beast and his armies (Dan. 11:44-45). The armies still left on the earth gather to battle against each other to control the world and Israel (Joel 3:9-14).
However, it is the time of the great decision of multitudes, when Michael the archangel warrior rises up and stirs the heaven’s as protector of Israel. ‘The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered…’ (Dan 12:1-3).
The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
On leaving heaven, after Angel Birdman had sent his global call for the birds, the Jesus return signs appeared, and everything began to severely shake. ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give it’s light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven and all the tribes on the earth will mourn, and they will see the the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.’ (Matt 24:29-31).
Jesus and His armies arrive on earth in a blaze of blinding white light and the full force of heaven’s power. The sun and moon is now dark, the stars twinkle no longer, and the blazing light of God is the only light showpiece of the entire universe, grabbing the attention of all creation. Then the trumpet angels, unsheathe their instruments from their horses and blow the arrival trumpet sounds of the Lord for all the universe to hear.
Millions of angels fly everywhere in a frenzied activity of gathering assignments. Everything is shaking on earth and in the heaven’s. Stars fall like figs from the sky, but the swirling clouds of glory surround King Jesus and His armies as they descend through the earth’s atmosphere with a great shout. The cleared sky rolls back like an ancient scroll, and the beast and the army millions of the east and west sectors on earth, are freaked out and blinded by the bright light of the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Thess 2:8, Luke 21:27, Isa 34:4).
I sit cross-legged at the great universe doorway in heaven, with Adriquel by my side; the knees are good, not bad for an old guy… Heaven is still rumbling from the shaking, as we watch with bated breath, the brightness of the Lord’s armies hitting the earth with a mighty sound and a great blast of light. The blood fest war was extremely short lived, as King Jesus made very quick work of His enemies.
His living breath is destruction, and the words of His mouth slashing like a sword. The beast armies, in their final worldly-united-nations-war-effort are swiftly destroyed, The antichrist shall ‘come to his end, and no one will help him.’ (Dan 11:45). The army bodies are mashed like bright red potatoes in the wine press of wrath, trimmed with green grass and mud, as the bloodletting of battle reaches over ten feet high in the Megiddo Valley and 200 miles all around.
BBQ Beast n’ Flamed False Prophet
‘Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet… these were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone’ (Rev 19:20). The sudden start of the war with heaven, saw the leader beast and false prophet arrested and immediately dealt with, being the first to be thrown in the lake of burning fire, with the stinking sulphur of death. No mercy; hurled in the lake alive, which the Lord had prepared before time began. He made sure all the armies against Him, saw the sudden demise of their leaders and lose heart; their deaths were next, and they would eventually end up in Lake Sulfer Suffer along with millions of others.
The armies really didn’t have time to think, or give much of a fight. Many were pretty much suicidal realising how wrong they had been, and all the Christians were right after all. Some are bunkered down already; on drugs from the stress and the need for warrior speed, waiting for their end. An amazing giant picture screen appeared in the throne room of heaven, and we all got a close up view of what is happening. The satanic screams of the beast and the false prophet as they burned alive will be with me forever.
Eagles n’ Eyeballs
‘And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.’ (Rev 19:21). Jesus the King watched His bird millions enjoy their reward, joyfully munching fresh eyeballs, and all manner of body parts; getting fat, as He trampled the winepress of wrath of His enemies. His beautiful white robe is now splashed in blood red from head to foot (Isa 63:2). Thousands of the king of birds, the majestic eagles, had also gathered together from around the world (Luke 17:37, Matt 24:28). Each one, eagerly joining in the God-feast-dinner of soldier-bodies, courtesy of the revived end-time Roman one-world beast empire.
In my time at home, the eagle is the Aquila symbol of courage and power in the Roman Empire who suppressed my people Israel. I saw Jesus smiling, looking at the gathering of the mighty eagles eating the flesh of kings, as they helped to fulfil His vengeance (Isa 63:2-4). Adriquel told me they are an endangered species at the end of the world, and not many are left. He told me that the Lord intended to make many more of them for the future, even bigger ones that we could fly with; it’s His favourite bird. One He always imagined He’d like to be… if ever that was possible… every courageous artist’s dream; to live inside their art…
Power and Courage
Power and courage only existed now on the King’s side, as He took full control of the earth and the heavens. I imagined all the believers left on earth, and those who’d been hiding in the hills around Israel. Along with the rest of the elect being gathered by the angels at this great time in history, all living forever in the exceedingly great creative courage and power of God within them; because of the gift of faith Jesus gives us all.
I looked back at the giant throne screen, and it momentarily froze on the blood red feet of Jesus Christ the Lamb, standing on the dead grapes in the winepress of wrath… He washed our feet in Jerusalem (John 13:12), to serve us and send us forth to serve. Now here are His feet, a frozen image; blood soiled, the cost of dealing with everything. I remember his words in that upper room, “Do you know what I have done to you?”
It certainly is clearer now. The enemies of the Lord Jesus Christ are now truly under those beautiful feet… forever and ever amen! (Psalm 8:6, Eph 1:22, 1 Corinth 15:25).

PRAYER OF FAITH: The Call to give your life to Jesus Christ.
No matter where you are in your Christian walk, Jesus is with you; in your triumphs and trials, to the end! If you have never known God; know this;
“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world (ages)” Amen’ Matthew 28:20. ’But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come’ Matthew 24:13-14.
Pray this prayer from your heart and your spirit will come alive to God, for with him there is hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
“My Father in heaven, I give you my life, I repent of all my sin, recreate me brand new. I give you my heart. Fill me Lord Jesus Christ with Your Holy Spirit. I believe You died for me on the cross, and by Your shed blood, you washed away my sins once and for all. Raise me from my deadness of my life to live a new life, just like you Jesus, when you were raised from the dead; I believe you did that. Make my spirit reborn, and let me come alive too filled with Your Holy Spirit.”
“I believe I belong to you Lord. Help me to know you well, teach me Your ways, that I become all that I am meant to be. Help me to love and find love. I thank you Lord that you will always be with me.”
If you have genuinely prayed this prayer to Jesus Christ, in your seeking of God, or you’re coming back to Him, DM instagram or FB or email. Talk to other Christians you may know, and seek to find a Church where you can grow.
