The Last Verse

Revelation 19  gives us our last verse on rejoicing.

Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.”

When I was young, there was a lot said about heaven and eternity, but no so much anymore.  We all live here and now, and tend to see what’s only present in front of our faces.

But…there is a time to rejoice for what’s coming. 

It’s as real as the present – this future that awaits us.

Revelation is full of visual images and all sorts of wording that’s hard to even understand, but there are parts of it that are exciting and victorious, much like reading a war novel with a victorious end!

We belong to Him, we are his bride, and he is coming for us to erase all traces of pain, sorrow, and death that we have experienced in our lives.

This is reason to rejoice – for that which is to come!  We can be glad.  We can give glory to him.

And we can make ourselves ready by…

Rejoicing always.

And again, I say rejoice.
