VH how do you interpret Daniel 12 where it seems clear the Antichrist has already committed the abomination of desolation before the dead rise and God's people are delivered?
OP how do you interpret Rev 19 where it appears the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and His bride precedes His physical appearance on the white horse with His army?
love rb
ps I'm a man and cyzygy is a woman and she's super nice -- I'm not called to rebuke or revile when I do it I feel terrible for days -- it takes courage to confront and I prefer the gentle approach myself!
Quoting: rb 555389Well lets look at the very first verse of Rev 19:
It says: "And after these things" and then it eventually describes the marriage supper of the Lamb. So what precedes the marriage supper? If you look it is judgement on Mystery Babylon.
The question now becomes - when does this judgement of babylon come on the prophetic timeline? Is it before or after the great trib?
Rev 12,13 & 14 answers this question
Here is the chronilogical order:
Women with 12 stars moon under feet (Israel)
Brings forth a child (Christ)
Dragon draws third part of stars (Satan and his minion come to destroy Christ)
War in heaven between satan and michael the archangel
Satan cast on to earth with no return to heaven
Satan is full of wrath because time is short
Israel set in the wilderness for 3 1/2 years
Satans begins warring campaign against Israel and Christians
Satan produces the antichrist
Power is given to the ac for 42 months to make war with the saints and to overcome them(the great trib)
Satan produces the false prophet
False prophet makes world submit to ac through mark of beast
144,000 before the throne
Angel declares the hour of God's judgment has come
(This is what Rev 18 describes in greater detail)
Another angel declares that Babylon is fallen
NOW IS WHEN THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF REVELATION 19 takes place because it states in Rev 19:1-2 that it is after the destruction of Babylon.
Armageddon commences (mirrored also in latter part of rev 19.)
This clearly teaches us that the marriage of the lamb takes place AFTER the great trib and AFTER the destruction of Mystery Babylon. There is no room for a pre-trib argument.
Thanks for the question.
