THE WAY KINGS AND THEIR ARMIES WILL
 DO BATTLE WITH THE INVISIBLE "RIDER".
(Revelation 19:11-21 NWT & NEB).

Our Heavenly Father Almighty God has put His "one thought" into the hearts of world leaders of the U.N. and the political "wild beast" to use armed force to desolate Babylon/Iraq. (Rev 17:17).  In so doing, Almighty God is using Gog's allied forces to desolate Gog's Iraqi forces. Jehovah is avenging the blood of His servants upon this part of "Babylon", and proving His holiness at the expense of Gog (satan) and Magog (people of Babylon/Iraq who are a dwelling place for demons).  (Rev 17:16.  19:2.  Ezek 38:21,23).

After the complete desolation of "Babylon the great", when Almighty God begins His Rule over all mankind, high  ranking ones such as "kings and commanders and fighting men... all men, slave and free, great and small" will be gathered by God for Judgement. (Rev 19:2 17-21). These are the ones who are mustering to do battle against the "Faithful and True" "Rider" The Christ Michael.  He is called "Faithful and True, for he is just in judgement and just in war."  (19:11 NEB).

It is also prophesied that the rest will be "killed by the sword" of "the Rider's mouth."  (19:21 NEB). This "sword" is the Spirit "sword" of Judgement from the Word of God. (19:13).  As for any rebel spirits who  survive, they will be shepherded and disciplined in spirit as with a "rod of iron".  (19:15)  (See: The Opened "Little Scroll").

But how will rulers and their earthly armies do battle with the invisible "Rider" and his heavenly armies?  The answer:  In the same way that demonically inspired people are battling demonstratively against the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. While such demonstrations are ostensibly to protest against the use of armed force, they are also demonstrations against the Will of God to have desolated the habitations of demons (the people) of Babylon/Iraq.  (17:15-18 & 18:2).

Since these events, rogue states have fomented hatred against those nations engaged in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, because evil dictators, sectarian misleaders and terrorists like themselves are being desolated!  But  such wars, while appearing to liberate the civilian population, actually release demons from those they inhabited who are killed, and cause further suffering as the concentration of evil spirits and activity among the remaining population actually increases!  (See: Matt 12:43-45). These events have been triggered by "rumours  from east and north" that have incensed satan (Gog) and led him and his forces to "annihilate and devote many to destruction."  They have.  (See Dan 11:44,45).

Currently, Syria and North Korea fear an attack from Gog's U.S. and U.K. forces.  For Almighty God uses demonically inspired forces of Gog to desolate demonically inspired forces of Gog! (Ezek 38:1 to 39:7).  While under the guise of being liberators, delegates of the U.N. and world leaders and their armies have the "mark" of the political "wild beast", and will themselves be taken prisoner and destroyed when the desolating work of God has been accomplished. (Rev 19:19,20). As for Gog and his military forces, they shall meet their end when they plant their "palatial tents" (of authority) "between the grand sea and the holy mountain of decoration".  (Dan 11:45). (Gog is the name that Almighty God has assigned to satan for us to identify satan's activities through his military forces in the time of the end).
