And today as we've been marching through different passages in the Book of the Revelation, we find ourselves in Revelation chapter 20. It tells us what happens after the battle of Armageddon. In Revelation chapter 19 Jesus comes back to the earth and He does business and makes war with the antichrist and with the false prophet and with all the armies of the antichrist, and He defeats them through the power of His Word, the sharp sword that goes out of His mouth. And then He sets up His kingdom. You know, the Lord promised that He would return. And the Old Testament is just filled with promises of ...
