What are the armies that follow Christ on white horses in Revelation 19?
The armies following Christ on white horses are not a military force but a congregation of heaven, identified in the context as the church-age saints, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, attending His Second Coming to earth. They are the company of believers accompanying Him at His return.
Les teaches that Revelation 19:14's armies are not a military assortment but a congregation, and he feels they are the church-age saints. In verses 7-8 the marriage of the Lamb has come, the wife is ready, and she is arrayed in fine linen, clean and white, which is the righteousness of the saints. Verse 14 then shows those in heaven following Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Les ties this to the company that attends His Second Coming to earth; the tribulation saints will rule and reign with Christ for a thousand years, and believers are included as well.
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
