The 1560 -1599 A.D.
Geneva Bible New Testament ;
The Revelation
Of Saint John The Apostle
& Evangelist With the Annotations
Of Francis Junius & Chapter 19 :
1 The heavenly company praise God
for avenging the blood of his servants
on the whore.
9 They are written blessed,
that are called to the Lamb's supper.
10 The Angel
will not be worshipped.
11 That mighty King of Kings
appeareth from heaven.
19 The battle,
20 wherein the beast is taken,
21 and cast into the burning lake.
1 And (1) after these things I heard
a great voice of a great multitude in
heaven, saying, (a) (2) (*) Hallelujah,
salvation, and glory, and honor, and
power be to the Lord our God.
(1) This chapter hath in summary two
parts, one transitory or of passage unto
the things that follow, unto the tenth verse,
Revelation 19:2-10; another historical of
the victory of Christ gotten against both
the beasts unto the end of the chapter,
Revelation 19:11-21; which I said was
the second history of this argument,
Revelation 17:1 .
The transition
hath two places, one of praising God
for the overthrow done unto Babylon
in Revelation 19:4; and another likewise
of praise, and Prophetical, for the coming
of Christ unto his kingdom, and his most
royal marriage with his Church, thence
unto the tenth verse, Revelation 19:5-10 .
The former praise hath three
branches, distinguished after the
ancient manner of those that sing:
an invitation or provokement
in Revelation 19:1-2; a response or
answer in Revelation 19:3; and a close or
joining together in harmony, in Revelation
19:4; all which I thought good of purpose
to distinguish in this place, lest any man
should with Porphyrius, or other like dogs,
object to John, or the heavenly Church,
a childish and idle repetition of speech.
(a) Praise the Lord.
(2) The proposition of praise
with exhortation in this verse,
and the cause thereof in
Revelation 19:2 .
(*) That is, praise ye God,
because the Antichrist and all
wickedness is taken out of the
world.
2 For (*) true and righteous
are his judgments; for he hath
condemned the great whore, which did
corrupt the earth with her fornication,
and hath avenged the blood of his
servants shed by her hand.
(*) So that all the Saints are
confirmed and ought nothing to
doubt of the salvation of the faithful.
3 And again they said, (3) Hallelujah;
and her (*) smoke rose up for evermore.
(3) The song of the Antiphony or
response, containing an amplification
of the praise of God, from the perpetual
and most certain testimony of his divine
judgment as was done at Sodom
and Gomorrah, Genesis 19:1-38 .
(*) The wicked
shall be burned in
continual fire, that never
shall be extinguished.
4 And the four
and twenty Elders,
and the four (*) beasts
fell down, and worshipped
God that sat on the throne,
saying, () Amen, Hallelujah.
(*) By the four beasts
are meant all creatures.
() Signifying
that his judgments are true
and just, and that we ought
to praise him evermore for
the destruction of the Pope.
5 (4) Then a voice came out
of the (5) throne, saying, Praise
our God, all ye his servants, and
ye that fear him, both small and great.
(4) The second place of praise,
as I said, Revelation 19:1; which
first is commanded from God in this
verse; and then is in most ample manner
pronounced of the creatures, both because
they see that kingdom of Christ to come,
which most they desire, Revelation 19:6;
also because they see that the Church is
called forth to be brought home; into the
house of her husband by holy marriage,
unto the fellowship of his kingdom,
Revelation 19:7-8 .
Wherefore John is commanded to
write in a book the Epiphany, or
acclamation joined with a divine
testimony, Revelation 19:9 .
(5) Out of the Temple from
God, as in Revelation 11:19 .
6 And I heard (6) like a voice
of a great multitude, and as the
voice of many waters, and as the
voice of strong thunderings, saying,
Hallelujah! For the Lord God
almighty hath reigned.
(6) Without the Temple in heaven.
7 Let us be glad
and rejoice, and give glory
to him, for the (*) marriage
of the Lamb is come, and his
wife hath made (7) herself ready.
(*) God made Christ
the bridegroom of his
Church at the beginning,
and at the last day it shall
be fully accomplished when
we shall be joined with our
head.
(7) Namely unto that holy
marriage, both herself in person
in this verse, and also furnished
of her spouse with marriage gifts
princely and divine, is adorned
and prepared in the next verse.
8 And to her was granted,
that she should be arrayed
with (8) pure fine linen and
shining, for the fine (9) linen
is the (b) righteousness of
Saints.
(8) As an ensign of Kingly
and priestly dignity, which
dignity Christ bestoweth
upon us, in Revelation 1:6 .
(9) This is a gift
given by the husband
for marriage sake, and
a most choice ornament
which Christ bestoweth
upon us, as upon his spouse.
(b) Good works which are
lively testimonies of faith.
9 (10) Then () he said unto me,
Write, (*) Blessed are they which
are (()) called unto the Lamb's supper.
And he said unto me, These words of
God are true.
(10) Namely the Angel,
as appeareth by the next verse.
() That is, the Angel.
(*) Revelation 14:13;
Matthew 22:2 .
(()) Whom God of free mercy calleth
to be partakers of his heavenly graces,
and delivereth from the filthy pollutions
of Antichrist.
10 (11) And I fell before his feet,
(*) to worship him. But he said unto
me, See thou do it not; I am thy fellow
servant, and one of thy brethren, which
have the (c) () testimony of Jesus. Worship
God, for the (()) testimony of (d) Jesus is
the Spirit of prophecy.
(11) The particular history
of this verse is brought in by
occasion, and as it were besides
the purpose, that John might make
a public example of his own infirmity,
and of the modest sanctimony of the
Angel, who hath renounced for himself
the divine honors, and recalled all the
servants of God, unto the worship of
him alone; as also Revelation 22:8 .
(*) Revelation 22:8 .
(c) Who are commanded
to bear witness of Jesus.
() Who am charged to testify
of Jesus, or which am partaker
of the same Gospel and faith.
(()) He sheweth that none
ought to be worshipped but
only God, and that he is of their
number whom God useth to reveal
his secrets by, to the Prophets, that
they may declare them to others, also
that we must believe no other spirit of
prophecy, but that which doeth testify
of Jesus, and lead us to him.
(d) For Jesus is the mark
that all the prophecies shoot at.
11 (12) And I saw
(13) heaven open, and
behold, a white (*) horse,
and he that sat upon him was
called () Faithful and true, and he
(()) judgeth and fighteth righteously.
(12) The second part
of this Chapter (as I said
in Revelation 19:1) is of the
victory gotten by Christ against
both the beasts; in which first Christ
is described as one ready to fight unto
the sixteenth verse, Revelation 19:12-16;
then is shewed the battle to be begun, thence
unto the eighteenth verse, Revelation 19:17-18;
lastly is set forth the victory unto the end the
Chapter, Revelation 19:19-21 .
In this place do shine
most excellent properties of
Christ as our heavenly Judge
and revenger, according to his
person, company, effects and
names.
(13) Properties
belonging to his person,
that he is heavenly, judge,
faithful, true, just, in this verse,
searching out all things, ruling over all,
to be searched out of none, Revelation
19:12; the trumpet, and very essential
word of God, in Revelation 19:13 .
(*) Whereby is signified
that Jesus Christ our Judge
shall be victorious, and shall
triumph over his enemies.
() He meaneth Christ.
(()) So that the wicked
shall tremble before his face.
12 And his eyes
were as a flame of fire,
and on his head were (*) many
crowns; and he had a name written,
that no man () knew but himself.
(*) To shew that he
was ruler of all the world.
() That is,
none can have so full revelation
how Christ is very God, eternal,
infinite and almighty, as he himself.
13 And (*) he
was clothed with a garment
dipped in () blood, and his name
is called THE (()) WORD OF GOD.
(*) Isaiah 63:2 .
() Whereby is signified his victory,
and the destruction of his enemies.
(()) Signifying that Jesus Christ,
which is the word, is made flesh,
and is our Lord, our God, and the
Judge of the quick and the dead.
14 (14) And the (*) warriors
which were in heaven, followed
him upon white horses, clothed
with fine linen white and pure.
(14) The company
or retinue of Christ, holy,
innumerable, heavenly,
judicial, royal and pure.
(*) This declareth that his Angels
shall come with him to judge the world.
15 (15) And out of his mouth
went out a sharp () sword, that
with it he should smite the heathen,
for he shall (*) rule them with a rod
of iron; for he it is that treadeth the
winepress of the fierceness and
wrath of Almighty God.
(15) The effects of Christ
prepared unto battle, that with
his mouth he striketh the Gentiles,
ruleth and destroyeth.
() Which delivereth
the wicked into eternal fire.
(*) Psalm 2:9 .
16 (16) And he hath upon
his garment, and upon his
() thigh a name written,
(*) THE KINGS OF KINGS,
AND LORD OF LORDS.
(16) The name agreeing
unto Christ according to the
former properties, expressed
after the manner of the Hebrews.
() Which declareth his humanity,
wherein he is Lord of all, and shall
judge the world.
(*) Revelation 17:14; 1 Timothy 6:15 .
17 (17) And I saw an Angel
stand in the (18) (*) sun, who
cried with a loud voice, saying to
all the fowls that did fly by (19) the
midst of heaven, Come, and gather
yourselves together unto the supper
of the great God,
(17) The second member,
as I said in Revelation 19:11 .
A reproachful
calling forth of his enemies
unto battle; in which not themselves
(for why should they be called forth
of the king of the world, or provoked
being his subjects?
For that were not comely)
but in their hearing, the birds
of the air are called to eat
their carcasses.
(18) That is, openly,
and in sight of all, as in
Numbers 25:4; 2 Samuel 12:11 .
(*) This signifieth
that the day of judgment
shall be clear and evident,
so that none shall be hid; for
the trumpet shall blow aloud
and all shall understand it.
(19) That is,
through this inferior heaven,
and which is nearer unto us:
a Hebrew phrase.
18 That ye may eat
the flesh of Kings, and
the flesh of high Captains,
and the flesh of mighty men,
and the flesh of horses, and of
them that sit on them, and the flesh
of all freemen, and bondmen, and
of small and great.
19 (20) And I saw the beast,
and the Kings of the earth, and
their (*) warriors gathered together
to make battle against him that sat
on the horse, and against his army.
(20) The third member
(as was said in Revelation 19:11)
of the victory obtained by Christ.
Unto this appertaineth two things:
his bucking with the beast and his
forces, in this verse; and the event
most magnificent, described after
the manner of men, in the verses
following.
All these things are plain.
(*) For the Pope
and the worldly princes
shall fight against Christ,
even until this last day.
20 But the beast
(21) was (*) taken,
and with him (22) that
false prophet that wrought
miracles before him, whereby
he deceived them that received
the beast's mark, and them that
worshipped his image. These both
were alive cast into a lake of fire
burning with brimstone.
(21) Namely, that beast with
seven heads; Revelation 13:1, 17:3 .
(*) The overthrow of the beast and his
which shall be chiefly accomplished
at the second coming of Christ.
(22) That is, that beast with two heads;
Revelation 13:11; Revelation 16:14 .
21 And the remnant
were slain with the sword of him
that sitteth upon the horse, which
cometh out of his mouth, and all the
fowls were filled full with their flesh.
