Day 34 Revelation 19 Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up forever and ever. 4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God who sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye who fear him, both small and great. 6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigns. 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he said unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he who sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them who had received the mark of the beast, and them who worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him who sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. Everyone loves a celebration especially when justice is served. The long-awaited day arrived and everyone was ready to enjoy what was to come. For the saints of God, it was the marriage supper of the Lamb. That moment when Satan and the false prophet were vanquished to the Lake of Fire and the celebration can begin with singing and rejoicing before the throne of God. Satan intended war with his armies against the Lamb. However, God sentenced him and his false prophet to the Lake of Fire and brimstone and those they deceived were killed with the sword of the Lamb. John saw the end and fell at the feet of the person who showed him Satan’s final outcome. However, the person, not an angel, told him he was his fellow servant and the only person he was to worship is God. Knowing Satan’s end brought rejoicing to the saints of God who longed for that day since Satan tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden and sin reigned in the world. It is a time of true celebration for all those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Is your name in the Lamb’s Book of Life? Are you invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb? Are you clothed in righteousness? Then come, the supper is about to begin. Let’s pray: Father, thank you for showing me Your judgment on Satan. Thank you that my name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life and I have my invitation to the marriage supper of the Lamb. Let me see Satan’s schemes in my life and cast him away from me as You will cast him into the Lake of Fire when you sentence him. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
