Revelation Chapter 19

NY Study Group

1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. 6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 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. 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. 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. 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 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 he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

FOUR AND TWENTY ELDERS - The senses. FOUR BEASTS - Four lower endocrine system centers. MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB - Union of the evolved self with the OVERSELF, on superconscious level. WIFE - Overself - so described because of its passive role. MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB - Mastery of the Law. VOICE OUT OF THE THRONE - Overself, superconscious Mind. FAITHFUL AND TRUE ON WHITE HORSE - OVERSELF, united with evolved self, now able to act as one. WORD OF GOD - CHRIST THE LOGOS - Fulfilled pattern. KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS - Same. FOWLS - Thoughts. FLESH - Earthly experiences. LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE - "ID" subsconscious area of repression. INTERPRETATION (N.B. In chapter 11, what was the final salvation of the bodily, mental and spiritual forces in John as an individual, now are shown to take place in collective man or humanity as a whole.) 1. When Man instinctively recognizes the Divinity within him as the controlling force in the world and turns away from his own selfish pattern of living for self alone, the pattern disappears and the senses together with the four lower endocrine system centers are re-aligned with the Creative Forces. (N.B. The Intelligence who takes over John's instruction now is the OVERSELF of collective Man, the Pattern for Mankind.) 7. This instructor points out that the merging of the evolved self with the Overself which has taken place with him (John) must also take place in all men. 10. John seeks to worship his instructor, but is warned against it, having a mission to perform as John has. He is told to worship God (the unformed) for the stamp of the Christ pattern is in the constant application of Divine truth. 11. The fulfilled pattern of evolved Man, the Christ, is shown now in a position of stability, power and judgment. All rulership of divine and worldly forces are turned over to Him. He is in control of the ((law of cause and effect)) - karma. He is able to feed his mind on all that is best in earth experience and draw sustenance from it, but to reject the former lusts and errors. (Individualized Man has merged with collective self.)
