Revelation 19:17-21
나는 또 해에 한 천사가 서 있는 것을 보았습니다. 그는 공중에 나는 모든 새들에게 큰 소리로 외치기를, "하나님의 큰 잔치에 모여라.
왕들의 살과, 장군들의 살과, 힘센 자들의 살과, 말들과 그 위에 탄 자들의 살과, 모든 자유인이나 종이나 작은 자나 큰 자의 살을 먹어라" 하였습니다.
또 나는 짐승과 세상의 왕들과 그 군대들이, 흰 말을 타신 분과 그의 군대에 대항해서 싸우려고 모여 있는 것을 보았습니다.
그러나 그 짐승은 붙잡혔고, 또 그 앞에서 기이한 일들을 행하던 그 거짓 예언자도 그와 함께 붙잡혔습니다. 그는 짐승의 표를 받은 자들과 그 짐승 우상에게 절하는 자들을 이런 기이한 일로 미혹시킨 자입니다. 그 둘은 산 채로, 유황이 타오르는 불바다로 던져졌습니다.그리고 남은 자들은 말 타신 분의 입에서 나오는 칼에 맞아 죽었고, 모든 새가 그들의 살점을 배부르게 먹었습니다.And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God,
so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great."
Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army.
But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

1) the false prophet is never introduced or explained, it just abruptly appears on the scene. It's taken for granted that students of Revelation will understand 2) that the "another beast" and the false prophet are one and the same. Both perform miraculous signs on behalf of the beast, and both deceive the world into receiving the mark of the beast and worshiping the image of the first beast. Together, the false prophet/another beast and the first beast (along with the dragon) gather the kings of the world for battle against God, and together, the two of them are thrown into the lake of burning sulfur....
I wonder what the true meaning of the great supper of God is in this context. He surely wants to gather His saints together and to take part in the feast. But is the primary purpose to reconnect us to the bridegroom and to see how will restore order by displaying His glory?
