What Is the Significance of the Birds in Revelation 19?

Direct Answer

The provided transcripts do not directly address the birds of Revelation 19.

None of the eight clips quote or explain the verses in Revelation 19 where birds are called to the supper of the great God. The clips that cite Revelation 19 (Clip 0 and Clip 6) describe Christ's return, His robe dipped in blood, and the armies of heaven, but do not mention any fowls. Therefore, based solely on this evidence, Les Feldick's explanation of the birds' significance cannot be supplied.

Key Scriptures

Revelation 19:13-15 — This surrounding passage, quoted in the clips, describes Christ's return in judgment—the broader context in which the birds appear later in the chapter.

What Does the Bible Say?

The KJV text quoted in the clips shows Christ returning with a vesture dipped in blood and His name called 'The Word of God.' The armies of heaven follow Him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of His mouth goes a sharp sword that with it He should smite the nations. This is the portion of Revelation 19 that appears in the provided transcripts. The later verses in which birds gather to the supper of the great God are not quoted or discussed in these clips, so no textual explanation of the birds can be drawn from the evidence on this page.

What Does Les Feldick Teach About the Birds in Revelation 19?

Based only on the supplied clips, Les Feldick does not explicitly teach about the birds of Revelation 19. He does, however, teach the surrounding passage. In Clip 0 and Clip 6, he explains that Revelation 19 shows the second coming of Christ as a time of wrath and judgment. He says the vesture dipped in blood points to Christ's victims, and he identifies the armies of heaven as the church-age saints plus an angelic host. In Clip 2, in the context of Babylon's fall, he quotes a phrase about 'a cage of every unclean and hateful bird,' but he does not connect that to Revelation 19. In Clip 4, he notes that under the curse, birds live in constant fear of being eaten—again, not directly tied to the Revelation 19 gathering.

What Does Les Feldick Teach About Revelation 19 in These Clips?

From the transcript evidence, Les teaches that Revelation 19 is the account of Christ's return. He pictures Christ on a white horse, wearing a vesture dipped in blood—blood that belongs to His victims. He identifies the armies of heaven that follow Christ as the church-age saints and an angelic host. He also points out that the saints have been with Christ for seven years after the rapture before returning with Him at the second coming.

Do the Clips Connect Birds to God's Judgment?

The clips do not connect birds specifically to Revelation 19. Clip 2 mentions 'a cage of every unclean and hateful bird' in the fall of Babylon, and Clip 4 speaks of the bird kingdom living in fear under the curse. Neither passage is applied to the supper of the great God. Thus, the available evidence leaves the significance of the Revelation 19 birds unaddressed.

From the Teaching

Christ's Return and Wrath

Les teaches that at Christ's return, wrath is poured out on the earth and the armies of heaven—including church-age saints and an angelic host—follow Him; this is the context in which the birds later appear, though the birds themselves are not mentioned.

Why God "Gave Them Up" — Romans 1 & the Wrath to Come

And I'm not going to take time. I'd like to read all the way from verse 14, but I won't take the time. But come down to verse 16. "...he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped." In other words, men, humanity. "...

Babylon's Unclean Birds

Les references 'a cage of every unclean and hateful bird' in the judgment of Babylon, but he does not connect this to the birds of Revelation 19.

What Are the 7 Bowl Judgments? Revelation 15–16 Explained

Now John says, "...after that I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of testimony in heaven was opened." We saw that happen once before back in chapter 11, and the seven angels came out of the temple having the seven plagues. Now here's your final bowl judgments.

Bird Kingdom Under the Curse

Les observes that because of the curse, birds live in constant fear of being food for other creatures, showing his general view of the natural bird kingdom rather than a specific statement about Revelation 19.

What Happens When the Lamb Opens the Seals — Revelation 6

And other times when you speak of the clouds of heaven, unless the text is definitive that it is weather clouds, you can just about rest on the fact that it's the very multitudes of the heavenly host, and that certainly is depicted here. That they're by the millions of the angelic hosts, thousands upon thousands, and they all say with verse 12 with a loud voice, "...

The Second Coming and the Saints

Les says the vesture dipped in blood refers to Christ's victims, not His own blood, and identifies those with Him as the saints who were raptured and now return at the second coming.

Noah’s Ark: How Did All the Animals Fit? (Genesis 6-7)

Now verse 12, "...his eyes were as," He doesn't say they were flames, but they were like flames of fire, "...and on his head were many crowns, and he had a name written that no man knew but he himself." And here it is now, this complete accord with Isaiah, "...and he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood." Now it's not referring to His here, it's referring to His victims.

Bible Verses

Revelation 19:13: And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

This verse identifies Christ at His return and is part of the judgment scene in which the birds of the chapter later appear.

Revelation 19:14: And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

This verse shows the armies accompanying Christ, a point Les highlights as the church-age saints and angels.

Revelation 19:15: And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

This verse emphasizes the judgment and wrath of Christ at His second coming, the setting for the rest of the chapter.
