1. Heaven Rejoices 19:1-10 a. Because salvation, and glory, and power belong to our God 1 He will save His saints for those who have and persecute them. Like the allies liberating the Nazi death camps :10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" b. Because is coming to judge the great harlot in truth and righteousness 2-3 Christ will righteously avenge the blood of His bond- servants Inquisistion- see LaHaye pp. 234-236 The harlot’s destruction will form an everlasting memorial. c. Because Christ is coming to reign 4-6 4-5 All of heaven rejoices The 24 elders represent Christ’s church The 4 living creatures are cherubim His bond-servants- those who fear Him 6 A great multitude Probably includes angels, tribulation martyrs, and OT saints d. Because the marriage supper of the Lamb has come. 7- 10 This is something the entire creation has been waiting for. Romans 8:18-23 7-8 The bride is ready The bride is the church 2 Corinthians 11:2 . . . for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.

Cf Mt 19:28; Lk 22:29; Rom 5:17; 8:17; 2 Timothy 2:12 8 Notice that the wedding dress is composed of the righteous deeds of the saints How we live our lives determines the type of dress we wear. 9 The guests are ready and blessed All the host of heaven OT saints?

Make sure you are right with God. It is futile to fight God. If you don’t repent you will spend eternity in the lake of fire.
