Bible Question:
I am trying to figure out if the armies of heaven, clothed in white linen, which represents the saints, do the actual fighting with Jesus? It seems like Jesus is slaying people with the word of God out of his mouth, so I am wondering what the saints are doing there with Him since they are called His army? All the other times in Revelation that you see white linen it is the saints, only one time you have angels, but the word means something different than white that they were wearing, "gleaming" I think it is. blessings abound, bowler |
Bible Answer: Greetings Bowler! "Armies in heaven" spoken of in Revelation 19:14 could be referring to angelic beings (Deut. 33:2; Psalm 68:17) as well as believers (see Rev. 17:14) - depending on how you interpret eschatology. Other passages of the Second Coming (Matthew 24:31; Mark 13:27) mention angels more in action than believers, and 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 is also worth a perusal regarding the Second Advent. Blessings to you, Makarios |
