Saturday, April 24: Revelation 19- Hallelujah! The Lord wins!

I reveled in the praise offered in this chapter… the Lord wins! The Lord Wins! My heart was filled by the praises offered to God, so much so that I read them again and printed them here (1-8)…

… "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries. He has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

And again they shouted: "Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever."

The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried: "Amen, Hallelujah!"

Then a voice came from the throne, saying: "Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both small and great!"

Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:

"Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.

Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory!

For the wedding of the Lamb has come,

and his bride has made herself ready.

Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear."

(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)

The Lord wins - my heart wants to shout. Then Jesus on a white horse, the conquering general, appears on the scene with that amazing name inscribed on His robe and on His thigh:

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

It is no wonder that the saints and creatures in heaven were shouting hallelujah! The Lord wins!

Lord,today I am exhausted; it has been a long couple of weeks. This was a wonderful word to read today. It lifts me to hear praises shouted out to You. It blesses me to see Jesus, the conquering hero, with that amazing name King of Kings and Lord of Lords…

Hallelujah! Hallelujah to my Lord and my God. Amen!
