The Greek word for "saw" is "εἶδον" (eidon), which implies not just physical sight but also spiritual insight. This vision is a divine revelation, emphasizing the prophetic nature of the book of Revelation. John is being shown events that are to unfold in the eschatological future, providing assurance to believers of God's ultimate victory.<p><b>the beast</b><br />The "beast" here refers to the Antichrist, a figure of ultimate evil and opposition to God. The Greek word "θηρίον" (thērion) is used, which can mean a wild animal or a beast, symbolizing the ferocity and destructive nature of this entity. In the context of Revelation, the beast represents oppressive political power and false religion that stands against Christ and His kingdom.<p><b>and the kings of the earth</b><br />This phrase highlights the global scope of the opposition against Christ. The "kings of the earth" are the political leaders who have aligned themselves with the beast. Historically, this reflects the tendency of earthly powers to resist divine authority. The Greek word for "kings" is "βασιλεῖς" (basileis), indicating rulers who wield significant influence and control.<p><b>with their armies</b><br />The presence of "armies" signifies a formidable force gathered for battle. The Greek word "στρατεύματα" (strateumata) refers to organized military forces. This assembly of armies underscores the seriousness of the conflict and the determination of the beast and the kings to oppose Christ. It is a reminder of the spiritual warfare that believers face, as earthly powers often marshal their resources against the purposes of God.<p><b>assembled to wage war</b><br />The phrase "assembled to wage war" indicates a deliberate and organized effort to confront Christ. The Greek word "συνήχθησαν" (synēchthēsan) means to gather together, suggesting a coalition formed with a common purpose. This war is not just a physical battle but a spiritual confrontation between good and evil, light and darkness.<p><b>against the One seated on the horse</b><br />The "One seated on the horse" is a reference to Jesus Christ, depicted as a victorious warrior. The imagery of Christ on a white horse symbolizes purity, righteousness, and triumph. The Greek word "καθήμενον" (kathēmenon) means seated, indicating authority and sovereignty. This portrayal of Christ assures believers of His ultimate victory over all evil forces.<p><b>and against His army</b><br />The "army" of Christ consists of the saints and angels who accompany Him. The Greek word "στρατιὰν" (stratian) refers to a host or a multitude prepared for battle. This army represents the collective body of believers who stand with Christ in His final victory. It is a powerful reminder of the role of the faithful in God's redemptive plan and the assurance of their participation in His triumph.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/revelation/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 19.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">And I saw the beast;</span> viz. that described in <a href="/revelation/13-1.htm">Revelation 13:1</a>, typical of the hostile world power. <span class="cmt_word">And the kings of the earth, and their armies.</span> The <span class="accented">kings</span> summoned by the unclean spirits of <a href="/revelation/16-13.htm">Revelation 16:13, 14</a>, typical of the forces which the beast employs in his spiritual warfare with God.
