ACC ~ Revelation 19 v19

WAR AGAINST CHRIST AND THE SAINTS. APRINGIUS OF BEJA: If you compare the words of the blessed Daniel, you will find one and the same thing. “He will come with a great multitude so that he might exterminate and destroy many.”However, in the Revelation it is said that, when the kings of the earth and their armies are gathered together, they will war against him who sits on the horse, that is, against Jesus Christ, and against his army, that is, against all saints who follow him. TRACTATE ON THE APOCALYPSE 19.19.

THE LORD WILL DEFEAT HIS ENEMIES. OECUMENIUS: And they waged war against the Lord and his holy angels, that is, the devil and the antichrist—for it calls the latter the “false prophet” of that brutal devil—and the kings who are arrayed with them. However, they were defeated more quickly than a word [is spoken]. For what do the divine Scriptures say about them? Speaking of their sudden destruction, Isaiah says, “Let the ungodly be taken away, that he not see the glory of the Lord.” And the apostle says, “whom the Lord will slay with the breath of his mouth.” For what is shorter than to breathe or to blow upon one’s enemies?

CHRIST HAS ONE ARMY. ANDREW OF CAESAREA: It speaks of the armies allied with the devil in the plural, because of the many forms of their sin and their divisions and various opinions. [By contrast], it speaks of the angelic powers and of those persons like the angels who follow Christ in the singular as an army, because of the unity of their mind and their will which is well-pleasing to the divine Word.
