Subjugation Phase
Jesus' Return


Primary References: Revelation 19:17-21
He brings the war to a swift and brutal conclusion, subjugates the rebellious armies, and rescues those locked away in the wilderness. The following sections liberally season Revelation’s sparse descriptions of Jesus’ return with other scriptural references to build as comprehensive a picture as possible. There are several scenes to this final act of the great tribulation including:
- The call to the supper of God (Revelation 19:17-18)
- Jesus’ return (implied)
- The beast, the kings, and their armies fighting against Jesus (Revelation 19:19)
- The beast and the false prophet cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 19:20)
- The armies defeated by Jesus and the sword coming out of His mouth (Revelation 19:21)
- Satan thrown into the bottomless pit (Revelation 20:1-3)
- The Jews rescued from the wilderness (implied)
Revelation 20 contains several transitional items (e.g., the judgment of nations and the division of the millennial government) that must occur before Jesus’ reign is completely established. Except for Satan’s entombment into the bottomless pit, these other scenes appear in the millennial reign chapter as part of the transition phase into Jesus’ reign.
