Exegesis
The aorist subjunctive phagete {φάγητε | phá-gē-te} expresses intended result rather than simple possibility: the goal of the invitation is that they actually eat.
In context — Revelation 19:18
So that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of mighty men , and the flesh of horses and of those who sit upon them, and the flesh of all people, both free and slaves , and small and great.
