The Biblical Illustrator - Revelation 19:9

Revelation 19:9Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.The marriage supper of the LambI. The lamb. We know at once who this is; but it is remarkable that, with one exception and that occurring in this evangelist’s own Gospel, this is the only part of the inspired writings in which our Lord is ever called by this name. Now this could not have happened by accident. There is a meaning in it, and it is not difficult perhaps to see what it is--the Lord Jesus would have... read more

Let us notice His glorious state. Our Lord is here described as sitting upon a gallant steed, charging His foes upon a snow-white horse.(1) This means that Christ is honoured now. In royal state our Jesus goeth forth to war, not as a common soldier, but as a glorious prince, royally mounted.(2) By a horse is... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 19:8

8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. Ver. 8. And to her was granted ] It is here clear (saith Bernard) that there shall be as great difference between the state of God’s Church now, and that which is to come after Rome’s ruin, as between the time of honourable persons only betrothed, and the high, joyful, and glorious day of their public marrying; as between the time of a king coming on to his... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 19:9

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. Ver. 9. Write ] To wit, this ensuing sentence, for the use of posterity, worthy to be written in letters of gold. Blessed are they that are called ] So they have hearts to come at Christ’s call, and not show themselves unworthy to taste of his supper by framing excuses, as those recusant guests did, Luke 14:15-24 . These are the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 19:10

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Ver. 10. And I fell at his feet ] So taken he was with the joyful tidings of his countrymen’s (the Jews’) conversion, that he fell down as Abraham did upon the good news of Isaac’s birth, Genesis 17:17 . And it may be he took this angel for Christ, the Angel of the... read more

And I saw heaven opened ] i.e. He saw things done before his eyes, as it were; so do not we, but are left to conjectures. Here is showed, saith one, the foil of the beast, bearer up of the whore, and no question but now highly chafed with her fall. This is the last and noblest act of Christ’s riding, for the dragon and his... read more

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. Ver. 13. Dipped in blood ] In the blood of his enemies, as a victor returning from a huge slaughter. Caesar is said to have taken prisoner one million of men, and to have slain as many; Mahomet I (emperor of the Turks), to have been the death of 800,000 men; Seanderbeg, to have slain 800 Turks with his own hand. But our Conqueror shall outdo all these; when he shall tread them in his anger, and... read more
