Revelation 19:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 [a]And I saw an Angel stand in the [b]sun who cried with a loud voice, saying, to all the fowls that did fly by [c]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 high captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all freemen, and bondmen, and of small and great.
19 [d]And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their hosts gathered together to make battle against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

- Revelation 19:17 The second member as I said, verse 11. A reproachful calling forth of his enemies unto battle: in which not themselves (for why should they be called forth of the king of the world, or provoked being his subjects? for that is not comely) but in their hearing, the birds of the air are called to eat their carcasses.
- Revelation 19:17 That is, openly, and in sight of all, as Num. 25:4 and 2 Sam. 12:11.
- Revelation 19:17 That is, through this inferior heaven, and which is nearer unto us: a Hebrew phrase.
- Revelation 19:19 The third member (as was said, verse 11) of the victory obtained by Christ. Unto this apppertaineth two things: his bucking with the beast and his forces in this verse: and the event most magnificent, described after the manner of men, in the verses following. All these things are plain.
