Yes, those are some of the verses that began me on this present dig. And the areas you highlighted were some of my focus at one time also.
THEN I was drawn to what was written right above it, and 'saw' a very intense and enlightening truth. And it wasn't written in some obscure manner. There weren't any hard words. Not only was it straight forth it was all encompassing and couldn't be taken in any other way.
Nope.
IN CONTEXT, what you've cited is merely a description of the different ranks or classes of people who will be a part of the antichrist's army at the battle of Armageddon.
Revelation chapter 19
[
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.
THIS SPECIFIC ARMY OF PEOPLE, under the rulership of the antichrist, will be composed of "kings", "captains", "mighty men", "horses, and of them that sit on them", "and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great" (vs. 19). When John mentioned "the remnant" (vs. 21), he was simply differentiating between "the beast" and "the false prophet" who "were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone" (vs. 20) and the other individuals who were a part of "their armies" (vs. 19).
Again, here is what Daniel prophesied:
Daniel chapter 7
[
11] I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
[
12]
As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
In verse 11, we see that "the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame", and this perfectly coincides with what we just read in Revelation 19:20.
In verse 12, we see that "as concerning the rest of the beasts" or the rest of the kingdoms, "they had their dominion taken away: YET THEIR LIVES WERE PROLONGED FOR A SEASON AND TIME", and this perfectly coincides with what John continued on to say in the very next verses after what you selectively quoted from Revelation chapter 19.
We read:
Revelation chapter 20
[
1] And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
[
2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
[
3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him,
that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
[
4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
[
5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
[
6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
[
7]
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
[
8]
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
[
9]
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
At Christ's second coming, he will first defeat the antichrist, the false prophet, and their armies which have been gathered against him at the battle of Armageddon (Rev. 19:11-21) as he returns not only with his saints who were in heaven, but also with those saints who were yet alive and remained unto the coming of the Lord, and who will be caught up to meet the Lord in his descent from heaven at "the first resurrection" (Rev. 20:5-6). "The FIRST resurrection". No phony-baloney "pre-tribulation rapture" or "mid-tribulation rapture" before this.
At this same time, Christ will bind Satan and shut him up in the bottomless pit for 1000 thousand years (Rev. 20:1-3) so "that he should deceive THE NATIONS no more" (Rev. 20:3). "THE NATIONS". Got it? These "nations" are the same exact "rest of the beasts" or rest of the kingdoms who "had their dominion taken away: YET THEIR LIVES WERE PROLONGED FOR A SEASON AND A TIME" (Dan. 7:12), and this "season and a time" will be 1000 years or for the duration of Christ's Millennial Reign upon "the earth" (Rev. 20:8-9) with his resurrected saints. Yes, his saints "shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years" (Rev. 20:6) "ON THE EARTH".
Revelation chapter 5
[
8] And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
[
9] And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
[
10]
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
"When the thousand years are expired" or after Christ's Millennial Reign with his resurrected saints right here "ON THE EARTH" (Rev. 5:10), "Satan will be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive THE NATIONS", which, again, are the "rest of the beasts" of Daniel 7:12, "which are IN THE FOUR QUARTERS OF THE EARTH, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: THE NUMBER OF WHOM IS AS THE SAND OF THE SEA" (Rev. 20:7-8).
Having been gathered at the end of Christ's Millennial Reign with his resurrected saints right here "ON THE EARTH" (Rev. 5:10), "they WENT UP ON THE BREADTH OF THE EARTH, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city; and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them" (Rev. 20:9).
Of course, if we were to keep on reading, then we would see that these people and all the wicked dead shall ultimately be resurrected at the end of Christ's Millennial Reign to face the great white throne judgment.
With such being the case, you simply don't know what you're talking about, and you should therefore recant and start believing and teaching the actual truth of God's word.
