The Great Last Battle (Revelation 19:11).

The purpose behind this narrative is to exalt Him Who is the Word of God and to demonstrate the total defeat of the forces of evil. As with much in Revelation it is not to be taken literally. But the scene is magnificent. The last judgment is described in many ways. This is but one of them. It is depicted in terms of vivid climactic events (Revelation 6:12); it is depicted as a huge earthquake and great hail (Revelation 11:19; Revelation 16:18); it is depicted in terms of the reaping of harvest, intermingled with the idea of a great battle (Revelation 14:14); it is depicted as a great white throne of judgment (Revelation 20:11). Here it is depicted in terms of a great battlefield.
