Revelation 19:11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.”
19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21 The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
I know a lot of people click on the title of the thread I post, and as soon as they see the Scripture, they click off.
I know a lot of people click on the title, read the Scripture, and can't be bothered to read the commentary, they click off.
I know very few people read the whole thing, it's too long. They click off.
I know even fewer will read this far to see what this old woman, who doesn't have a clue, says about the verses she posted today.
See, that's the cause of the Apostate [fake] Church. That's what causes people, who are normally quite smart, to go down the wrong path. The Apostate [fake] Church, has spread a lie, saying the Bible is not Holy. The Apostate [fake] Church says the Bible is a lie, perpetrated by men to get control over others.
Jesus said He would return. Jesus said He would come back from Heaven. Jesus will come! That's a fact.
Yesterday I questioned what would happen to the humans who thought they were Christians, but instead were captured by the Apostate [fake] Church.
See, I figure the Apostate [fake] Church will be really good at recruitment. They will spin the Gospel to mesmerize the humans in order to keep them from making that Confession of Faith. Then they will be so charismatic, the humans will be spell bound, even taking the mark of the beast willingly, fully convinced they are doing as God told them to do.
I will still have to wait to find out what happens to the ignorant humans who got on the wrong side.
BUT!! Only the beast and the fake prophet are thrown into the lake of fire. Humans were left to die and then be judged.
Final Judgement for the humans doesn't happen here. When Jesus runs everyone thru with the sword of truth Jesus has been carrying... they join the Christians who are waiting to be judged.
Maybe waiting in line to be judged will be part of their personal hell!! I know people who can't stand to wait in line!
When ignorant humans see Jesus on His White Horse.... even though they have taken the mark of the beast.... they will cheer!!!! They will actually think they are being saved....
Jesus will kill them all.
Even though the beast and his prophetic buddy will be thrown into the lake of fire, ignorant humans will be killed and then Jesus will sort them out at Judgement!
Jesus will kill them all.
Jesus will sort them out later.
Jesus will "kill them all and sort them out later".

king of kings and lord of lords.

Here's a link to the commentary I read. There is a lot I didn't copy and paste here. Please follow the link and read it all.
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold: There is a sense in which everything before this in the Book of Revelation is an introduction to this revelation (unveiling) of Jesus Christ. Now He returns to earth in power and glory.
Faithful and True: This glorious title shows Jesus is the keeper of promises, including His promises of judgment.
In righteousness He judges and makes war: Jesus comes as a judge and a general to make war. The world that rejected Him before rejects Him again, but this time Jesus judges those who reject Him
On His head were many crowns: The last time this earth saw Jesus He wore a crown of thorns, but not in Revelation 19. Now, He wears many crowns. The ancient Greek word used for crowns here is the diadema, the crown of royalty and authority, not the stephanos, the crown of achievement.
He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood: His robe is dipped (or sprinkled) in blood. Bible students debate whether this is His own blood (reminding us of the cross) or the blood of His enemies. Either is quite possible.
The armies in heaven: These are God’s people (Revelation 17:14, Jude 14-15). There is little doubt that angels will also accompany Jesus and His people, but the main idea is that the Son of God leads the people of God from heaven against earth.
There is no mention of any kind of armor or weapon for any soldier in the great army that follows Jesus. The only armor or weapon they have is the only one they need: clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword: The idea isn’t that Jesus holds a sword in his mouth like a buccaneer, or that He is “spitting swords.” This is a dramatic way of referring to the power of His Word. “Christ conquers by the power of His Word” (Johnson). Five times in the Book Revelation, John emphasizes that Jesus’ sword comes out of His mouth.
And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron: Jesus comes to rule and to reign in triumph, to rule the nations with a rod of iron as predicted in Psalm 2. He comes as King of Kings to displace every king reigning on this earth.
“It does not mean the leavening of existing governments with Christian principles, the spiritual conversion of countries and empires, leaving them in existence, and simply Christianizing them so as to exhibit something of Christ’s spirit in their administrations; but the total displacement of all this world’s sovereigns and governments, the taking of all dominion and authority out of their hands and putting it in the hands of Christ, as the true and only King of the world.” (Seiss)
He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords: The name is on His thigh for prominence, being easily visible when seated on a horse. At the same time, no one knew [the name] except Himself — that is, no one can comprehend Him perfectly.
An angel standing in the sun: This shows how bright this angels shines with the glory of God. The angel can be seen, even though it stands before the sun. “The angel is standing in the light of the sun with the angel himself possibly shining with even greater brilliance.” (Walvoord)
Saying to all the birds that fly: This is a preparation for a great slaughter of Armageddon, “presented in a picture of almost repellent realism.” (Erdman)
The flesh of kings, the flesh of captains: The repetition of flesh (5 times) is revealing. “The race has walked in carnal enmity against God, living after the flesh, and now the day of His patience is at an end.” (Barnhouse)
Armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the throne: Some find it hard to understand how man could be so foolish to try to keep Jesus and this heavenly army off the earth in a pitched battle. They suggest that these armies initially gather to battle against each other, and then turn their fury on the returning Jesus. This may be the case, but we should never underestimate man’s folly and hatred of God.
To make war: John wrote no description about a battle. This is an entirely one-sided affair, more of a simple act of judgment than a prolonged battle or war. “The battle of Armageddon is the laughter of God against the climax of man’s arrogance.” (Barnhouse)
Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet: The beast and the false prophet receive special treatment. They are cast alive into the lake of fire before the Great White Throne of judgment holds court (Revelation 20:11-15).
