"The armies in heaven"

Text: Revelation 19:14

THE LORD OF HOSTS

The Lord Jesus sat on a white horse with magnificence and majesty. He was not alone. He leads mighty heavenly armies. These angelic armies of heaven follow the Rider on a white horse with utmost loyalty!

“And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen,
white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword,
that with it He should strike the nations.
And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.
He Himself treads the winepress
of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.”
