Associated with the Son of God, the Seed of God's woman, in that last issue-settling fight will be many angels. The will be a match for all the demons on the side of the "original serpent." This is made sure by a number of prophecies, Speaking of himself as "the Son of man," Jesus Christ prophesied of his coming into his heavenly kingdom and said: "When the Son of man arrives in his glory and the angels with him then he will sit down on his glorious throne." (Matthew 25:31, NW) In heaven he has always been known as "the Word of God," because of being God's Chief Spokesman. Therefore the following symbolic description of the forces of righteousness riding into battle applies to him and his angelic armies: The name he is called is the Word of God. Also the armies that were in heaven were following him on white horses, and they were clothed in white, clean, fine linen. And out of his mouth there protrudes a sharp long sword, that he may smite the nations with it, and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron. He treads, too, the press of the wine of the anger of the wrath of God the Almighty. And upon, his outer garment, even upon his thigh, he has a name written, Kings of kings and Lords of lords. (Revelation 19:11-16, NW) The taking part by Almighty God and his enthroned Son and the holy angels in the fight of Armageddon against the rebellious spirit hosts will make Armageddon a universal war, involving heaven as well as earth. Never will there ever be anything like it.
