The imagery of war is symbolic of the spiritual and moral conflict between good and evil. The Lamb is a title for Jesus Christ, emphasizing His role as the sacrificial Savior. This conflict is part of the larger narrative of Revelation, where the forces of darkness are ultimately defeated. The concept of making war against God is seen throughout Scripture, such as in <a href="/psalms/2.htm">Psalm 2</a>, where the nations conspire against the Lord and His Anointed.and the Lamb will triumph over them The triumph of the Lamb signifies the ultimate victory of Christ over all evil. This victory is assured and reflects the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. The Lamb's triumph is not through conventional warfare but through His sacrificial death and resurrection, which defeated sin and death. This victory is echoed in passages like <a href="/1_corinthians/15-57.htm">1 Corinthians 15:57</a>, where believers are reminded that victory comes through Jesus Christ.because He is Lord of lords and King of kings This title emphasizes the supreme authority and sovereignty of Jesus Christ over all earthly and spiritual powers. It is a declaration of His divine nature and His ultimate rule over all creation. The title "Lord of lords and King of kings" is also found in <a href="/1_timothy/6-15.htm">1 Timothy 6:15</a> and <a href="/revelation/19-16.htm">Revelation 19:16</a>, underscoring the consistent biblical theme of Christ's preeminence.and He will be accompanied by His called and chosen and faithful ones. This phrase highlights the participation of believers in Christ's victory. The "called" refers to those who have responded to God's invitation to salvation. The "chosen" indicates God's sovereign election, and the "faithful" describes those who remain steadfast in their faith. This group represents the Church, the body of believers who are united with Christ in His triumph. The concept of being called, chosen, and faithful is seen in passages like <a href="/romans/8-28.htm">Romans 8:28-30</a> and <a href="/1_peter/2-9.htm">1 Peter 2:9</a>, which speak to the identity and mission of God's people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lamb.htm">The Lamb</a> Represents Jesus Christ, who is depicted as the sacrificial Lamb, a central figure in Christian theology symbolizing redemption and victory over sin and death. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_adversaries.htm">The Adversaries</a> These are the forces aligned against the Lamb, often interpreted as the beast and the kings of the earth who oppose Christ's reign. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_called,_chosen,_and_faithful.htm">The Called, Chosen, and Faithful</a> These are the followers of Christ, believers who are called by God, chosen for His purposes, and remain faithful to Him. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_war.htm">The War</a> Symbolizes the spiritual and eschatological conflict between the forces of good (Christ and His followers) and evil (the beast and its allies). 5. <a href="/topical/l/lord_of_lords_and_king_of_kings.htm">Lord of lords and King of kings</a> Titles affirming the supreme authority and sovereignty of Jesus Christ over all earthly and spiritual powers.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/c/christ's_ultimate_victory.htm">Christ's Ultimate Victory</a> Jesus, as the Lamb, will triumph over all opposition.

This connects the description with <a href="/revelation/16.htm">Revelation 16</a>:34 and with <a href="/revelation/19-11.htm">Revelation 19:11-21</a>. This war between the Lamb and the powers of evil is that which extends throughout the history of the world (vide infra); it occupies the "one hour" of ver. 12, which is equivalent to the period of the world's existence. But the seer in this verse looks forward also to the termination of the conflict, the result of which, here briefly indicated, is soon to be narrated more fully. For he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. This is the reason given to the Israelites (<a href="/deuteronomy/10-17.htm">Deuteronomy 10:17</a>) for obedience to God (cf. also <a href="/daniel/2-47.htm">Daniel 2:47</a>; <a href="/1_timothy/6-15.htm">1 Timothy 6:15</a>; and <a href="/revelation/19-16.htm">Revelation 19:16</a>). Though the beast may exercise m this world dominion and power as "prince of this world," yet the Lamb is King still greater, to whom the beast must finally succumb. He is thus King above the kings of <a href="/revelation/17-2.htm">Revelation 17:2, 10</a>. And they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. The Revised Version is more correct, And they that are with him, called and chosen and faithful [shall also overcome]. Another evidence of the lifelong nature of this war. Not only Christ wars and overcomes, but those associated with him are permitted to share in the battle and the victory. Christ's saints are called here to battle; in <a href="/revelation/19-9.htm">Revelation 19:9</a> they are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb (cf. also the exhortation to faithfulness in <a href="/revelation/2-10.htm">Revelation 2:10</a>). The three epithets describe the progressive life of those who share Christ's victory They are called - as all men are - to serve him; having heard the call, they dedicate their lives to his service, and become his chosen servants; finally, having remained faithful to him, they share in his victory. <a href="/commentaries/revelation/17-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>[They] Οὗτοι (Houtoi) Demonstrative Pronoun - Nominative Masculine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_3778.htm">Strong's 3778: </a> This; he, she, it. will make war πολεμήσουσιν (polemēsousin) Verb - Future Indicative Active - 3rd Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_4170.htm">Strong's 4170: </a> To make war, contend, fight, battle.
