THE KINGDOM HERALD

During the Revelation on Patmos, the apostle John was given the invitation, “Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.” He went on to write, “And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne ... And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting... and they had on their heads crowns of gold...

True-life episodes have been alleged, just as some bold and interesting attempts have been made to capture such scenarios in books and movies.

It will, however, not be happening in a corner, but on a scale so large and so grand that, as the Scriptures predict, “every eye shall see him”! (Revelation 1:7.) The scene is set. Like a blazing meteor, they shoot out of the sky: " And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and HE THAT SAT UPON HIM was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns… And the ARMIES WHICH WERE IN HEAVEN followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
