Revelation 18

Revelation 18:1-24

In chapter XVIII. and chapter XIX:1-10, a vivid description of the great judgment is given. The mourning of one class and the triumph of the saints are each painted in vivid colors. The latter portion of the nineteenth chapter again describes the battle of Armageddon, which has already been alluded to under the sixth vial in chapter 16:12-16. After the battle of Armageddon comes the Millennium. “The kingdoms of the earth shall become the kingdoms of the Lord and his Christ.” Men may scoffingly say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” “But the Lord is not slack concerning his promises.” The glorious day when righteousness and the knowledge of the Lord shall fill the whole earth will certainly come.
