Chapter 19 opens with the words "And after these things." Transitional statements that once again show us the chronological order of the events. In this case, the "things" spoken of are the events of chapter 18 which is the fall of the evil empires of this world, called the "kingdoms of men."
​
The great whore of Babylon has been completely destroyed by the flying scroll of Zechariah 5:1-4 and by the hands of God's people Israel Ezekiel 25:14. (This is not the Battle of Armageddon ... but its coming) So what does all of heaven do? ... they celebrate, for God's wrath has been poured out on Beast of Babylon (Revelation 19:1-6).
Hallelujah
The Judgment Seat of Christ
There is a day of judgment for all men, there is also a judge for the Bride of Christ, it is called
"The Judgment Seat of Christ." This is not a judgment of a person's sin, for that was dealt with on the cross. This is a judgment of the believer's works. The scriptures speak of at least five crowns to be given by Jesus to those who have loved Him in word and in their works.
Where is it Written
To those who love the Lord, a reward is given according to their works.
​
1. The Crown of Life - James 1:12; Rev.2:10
2. The Crown of Righteousness - 2 Tim.4:8
3. The Crown of Glory - 2 Peter 5:4
4. The Incorruptible Crown - 1 Cor. 9:25
5. A Crown of Rejoicing - 1 Thess. 2:19
This event of the Judgment Seat of Christ is believed to happen after the Rapture of the Bride of Christ but before the Marriage Supper.
Now the long-awaited day has come, the Son of God, Yehovah Yeshua (Jesus the Christ) will take a bride and all are welcomed into the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. and ...
There is no place in scripture where we are told of a wedding ever taking place in Heaven. In the eons of time and eternity past, there has never been such an event in Heaven. The Bride of Christ has made herself ready (Rev. 19:7).
A Royal Wedding
Where is it Written
The Bride of Christ

A Kingdom to Rule!
Where is it Written
In Revelation 19 starting in v11 John see Jesus sitting on a white horse, He is called "Faithful and True." John gives us two reasons for His coming. 1. To make war against the armies of the Antichrist (Rev. 19:11-16), 2. To judge righteousness judgment, this is "The Judgment of the Nations" (Mat.25:31-46).
Where is it Written
Jesus does not come back alone, there are the hosts of heaven, the angels, and His wife which is the church, who loves Him. These are referred to as the "armies of heaven" v14, v19.
​
He will establish His Kingdom for 1000 years where He and His wife will rule forever over His Kingdom on the earth.

The fulfillment of the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles)
-
The fulfillment of Daniel 2, King Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the rock, cut out of the mountain with no hands and it struck the colossus image (kingdoms of men) and it crumbled to the ground.
-
The fulfillment of what the angel told Mary the mother of Jesus (Luke 1:32-33) "The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.”
-
In Revelation 11:15. “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.”
These prophecies and many more throughout scripture find their fulfillment in this one event and what takes place directly afterwards.
The last war the world will ever see is about to take place. There are
3 parties to the battle and they have all arrived:
​
1. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords and His armies.
2. The Antichrist and his armies
3. The armies of the fowls of the air.
