Rejoicing in Heaven
The great multitude
After this I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude in heaven, shouting:
“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God!
For His judgments are true and just.
He has judged the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her immorality.
He has avenged the blood of His servants
that was poured out by her hand.”
And a second time they called out:
“Hallelujah!
Her smoke rises forever and ever.”
The twenty-four elders
And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying:
“Amen, Hallelujah!”
A voice from heaven
Then a voice came from the throne, saying:
“Praise our God,
all you who serve Him,
and those who fear Him,
small and great alike!”

Revelation 19:5
Live it
Small and great alike
The voice from the throne calls everyone in: “Praise our God, all you who serve Him, and those who fear Him, small and great alike!” No one is too small to join heaven’s song, and no one too great to need to. What is one thing you can praise God for today, out loud or on paper, as your own “Hallelujah”?
The Marriage of the Lamb
And I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude, like the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder, crying out: “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him the glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready.
Revelation 19:6–7
John
So I fell at his feet to worship him.
The angel
But he told me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who rely on the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Question
Quick question
John is so overwhelmed by what he has seen that he falls at the angel’s feet.
What does the angel tell John to do?
The Rider on the White Horse
Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war.
0:11
Narrated by Bob Souer · BSB audio, public domain
He has eyes like blazing fire, and many royal crowns on His head. He has a name written on Him that only He Himself knows.
He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God.
The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and pure, follow Him on white horses. And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 19:16
Defeat of the Beast and False Prophet
Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying overhead, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings and commanders and mighty men, of horses and riders, of everyone slave and free, small and great.”
Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies assembled to wage war against the One seated on the horse, and against His army. But the beast was captured along with the false prophet, who on its behalf had performed signs deceiving those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. Both the beast and the false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
And the rest were killed with the sword that proceeded from the mouth of the One seated on the horse. And all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
Pray
King of kings
Bow before the One who is called “Faithful and True.” Thank Him that His bride is clothed in “fine linen, bright and pure,” given to her by grace, and that you are invited to “the marriage supper of the Lamb.” Ask Him to rule your heart by His word, and join heaven’s song: “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.”
