Chapter 19 of the Book of Revelation by St. John shows us the return of the glorious Christ. In the previous episodes, Irish Scripture Scholar Frances Hogan explained how Jesus is the Word of God and in this episode, we continue to explore His return for the final judgment.

We have seen the martyrs, saints and the bride robed in dazzling white - the garment of light - and now we see the armies of heaven robed in white. Jesus uses the double-edged sword, which is the Word of God, as the conqueror’s weapon. With this sword, He will judge the unbelieving world. Judgment began with the seals, trumpets, and the bulls; this is the final stage and He will rule with an iron rod - the immutable will of God. His robes reveal that He is the King of kings and Lord of lords.

All those who rallied and gathered against God are now judged by the sword of the Rider and the beast is cast into the lake of fire and sulfur; this is God answering by fire. He defends the redeemed and punishes the unbelieving world.
