Introduction
The Great Consummation
The Groom is about to arrive.
The Bride is set
All arrangements have been made.
It is Time
It gives us a sense of nervousness
Do you remember when you got married?
I was so nervous.......
You plan and Plan but when the day comes - WOW - You hope you chose wisely.
Thanks to Jesus He chose you, while you were sinners AMEN
Heavenly Celebration
Celebration
Before the celebration comes everything is set straight.
A. Praising the Lamb for his wrath on a corrupt false religion (19:1–5)
1.
This false religious system is condemned on two counts.
a. Corrupting the earth with immorality (19:2a)
b.
Murdering the saints of God (19:2b)
The gavel has dropped the judgement has been made and the sentence is carried out.
The floor is swept
2. The rejoicing over this judgment (19:1, 3–5)
a.
The song (19:1b, 3, 4b–5): It consists of one great, grand, and glorious word: “Hallelujah!” - UIn Hebrew it means Praise Yahweh.
In the NT it occurs only at Rev. 19:1, 3, 4, 6, where it introduces or merges into a hymn of victory and forms with ἀμήν (19:4) an independent response.
Hallelujah - used 4 times in the passage - but no where else in the NT
b.
The singers (19:1a, 4a) 2 groups
(1) A vast multitude (19:1a)
(2) The twenty-four elders and four living creatures (19:4a)
Praise the Lord all His saints - This is the worship he desires -
Can you see a global praise ring up to heaven - Every nation , every tongue- in every fashion and way.
B. Praising the Lamb for his wedding to a pure and spotless Bride (19:6–10)
Hebrew Marriage had parts to it
Betrothal
Conditions are made, terms are settled
Blessings are pronounced
Confirmed by witnesses - Legally binding
Interval
The time of preparation
Marriage feast planned
Dowry is paid
All services are rendered.
Procession
Bride adorns herself
Groom and friends get ready
Groom proceeds to the brides house
He takes her to his house or a pre planned place
Marriage Supper
Isn't it amazing Jesus started his ministry at a wedding.
Talk about significant.
God has come for his bride
1.
The clothing of the bride (19:6–9): She wears the cleanest, whitest, and finest of linens.
How is that possible when we are mean, corrupt, wicked people,
Revelation 3:5
He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
Gods betrothal to His Bride is sure
2. The chastening of the apostle (19:10): John is rebuked for attempting to worship the angel who is revealing these things to him.
He says the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy - what does that mean?
The Gospel of jesus has its origin in heaven and is sent forth into the world by the Holy Spirit
Earthly Confrontation
THE CONFRONTATION
A. The appearance of heaven’s King (19:11): John sees Jesus,who is called Faithful and True, seated on a white horse, coming from heaven.
Before the Wedding feast - God has to remove everything that stands in the way.
All this proclaimed in Ch 11
B. His apparel is of heaven’s King (19:12–13, 15–16)
1.
His eyes are like flaming fire (19:12a).
- Nothing hidden from his gaze
2.
He is wearing many crowns (19:12b).
Kings Crown
3. His robe is dipped in blood (19:13a).splashed
with the blood of vanquished foes
4. His titles (19:13b, 16)
a.
The Word of God (19:13b)
b.
King of Kings and Lord of Lords (19:16)
c.
And a hidden name
He is the faithful and true one - the keeper of the covenant the reliable one
5.
He holds a sword in his mouth (19:15)
Today this is an unrecognizable Jesus.
The Jesus we preached for so many years looks more like Mr Rogers or Santa Claus.
Mild, Meek and Huggable.
We are more interested in teh gifts than the giver of them.
We like the Jesus that does not rocks our boat.
I saw a bumper sticker yesterday on a car plastered with bumper stickers - Have you seen these kind of cars.
Tolerance and love for everything was the motto.
The sticker said “who would Jesus bomb?
As I scanned the stickers, it was evident this person has no clue who Jesus really was, what he stands for, His truth, His Holiness, etc.
Jesus is not a contradiction - This is the Jesus spoken of in the prophets, the one who they were expecting to roll into Jerusalem 60 years earlier.
At the beginning of revelation we see him, we see Him in the throne room - now we see him in His glory.
Nothing is going to stand in his way.
He alone holds the title King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Every other false religion, every Idol, everything that sets itself up against the Lordship of Jesus will be destroyed.
He is the commander of the Hosts of Heaven.
He has an army
C. The armies accompanying heaven’s King (19:14): They are dressed in finest linen and follow him on white horses.
Interesting to point out - they have no weapons.
The battle belongs to the Lord
