The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Invasion of the Earth
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness [righteous deeds] of saints. (Revelation 19:7,8)
The Wife of the Lamb described in Revelation, Chapter 19 is not the entire Wife of the Lamb, the whole Israel of God, the fullness of the new Jerusalem, but a firstfruits who are ready spiritually to be revealed together with Christ at His appearing.
The firstfruits of the Bride appear here marking the beginning of the thousand-year Kingdom Age. She is clothed in the white robes of righteous behavior; not the white robes of a righteousness ascribed to her because Christ is righteous but a righteousness of behavior originating with Christ who is in her and who has changed her into His moral image.
At the end of the thousand-year Kingdom Age the entire Israel of God, the full number of the elect, will come down from Heaven, not only in the white robes of righteous character but as the new Jerusalem, the holy city, the glorified, holy Word of God.
The firstfruits of the Wife now has appeared (Revelation, Chapter 19). Satan has been cast down to the earth because the firstfruits have overcome him through the blood of the Lamb, through the word of their testimony, and by loving not their lives to the death (Revelation 12:11). The spiritual thrones located in the air, which govern mankind on the earth, will be occupied by those who overcome the Antichrist (Revelation 20:4-6).
Antichrist and the kings of the earth will assemble in the holy land because they (or Satan in them) will understand from the Scriptures (as did King Herod of old) that Christ will return to sit on the throne of David in Jerusalem.
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. (Revelation 19:19)
The firstfruits of God's royal priesthood will appear, riding, we believe, on the bed of the dried up Euphrates River (Revelation 16:12).
The Commander in Chief, the Lord Jesus Christ, will descend to the Mount of Olives (perhaps with a few chosen warriors, as on the Mount of Transfiguration) and then ride toward Jerusalem through the new valley which has been formed by the cleaving of the Mount of Olives. He is ready to go through the Beautiful Gate and take His place on the throne of David in Jerusalem.
The armies of the wicked will be gathered together at Megiddo.
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. (Revelation 16:16)
The battle will be joined at Megiddo and there the forces of Hell will be destroyed.
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. (Revelation 19:20,21)
