The Marriage of the Lamb

⁶ Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,     

     “Hallelujah!
       For the Lord our God
          the Almighty reigns.
⁷      Let us rejoice and exult
          and give him the glory,
       for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
         and his Bride has made herself ready;
⁸      it was granted her to clothe herself
          with fine linen, bright and pure”—
for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
⁹ And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”  (Revelation 19:6-9; emphasis mine)

O for the day when these words will be declared because they have been fulfilled!

It has been quite a journey we have taken together through the Word of God this year.  A beautiful pilgrimage!  I hope you have enjoyed reading through the Scriptures as much as I have.  I would love to hear the insight you have gained as you have been taught by the Teacher and Master and Lord.

God's Word ends where it began--a new creation of heavens and earth, God fellowshipping with those made in His image, and the tree of  life.  But this time, Satan has been destroyed (Rev. 19:11-21) by our Prince of Peace on his white horse, and mankind is given access to the tree of life!

¹ Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb ² through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. ³ No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. ⁴ They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. ⁵ And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.  (Rev. 22:1-5; emphasis mine)

O for the day when we see Him face to face!

¹² “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. ¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
¹⁴ Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. ¹⁵ Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
¹⁶ “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”  (Rev. 22:12-16; emphasis mine)

I don't know about you, friends, but that makes me want to cry aloud, "Come, Lord Jesus!"

¹⁷ The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.

²⁰ He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
(Rev. 22:17, 20; emphasis mine)
