AIM: Every person saved or lost has an immortal soul
A) Those saved by God praise him for his just judgement of corrupted 'Babylon'
(1) After this (Rev 15-18), heard a great crowd shouting "Praise the Lord (Hallelujah)!
- Salvation (Author of Salvation, charity, mercy, love, hope) and
- glory (Worthy of our attention, devotion, affections) and
- power (Creator of heaven and earth, all that has life, Lord ending authority)
- belong to our God (not "my" god, our God - one holy God we know, love and worship)
- Condemned great prostitute who corrupted earth with immorality/adulteries
- Avenged murder of his servants
(3) again shouted: "Praise the Lord (Hallelujah)!
- smoke from her ascends forever and ever!" (Every person has an immortal soul: Ecclesiastes 12:7; Daniel 12:2-3;Matthew 25:46;1 Corinthians 15:12-19)
(4) twenty-four elders and four living creature/beings fell down and worshiped God "Amen, Praise the Lord (Hallelujah)", like 4 others times
- Rev 4:4-11 worship in heaven (holy, holy, holy, worthy to receive glory/honor/power as creator);
- Rev 5:8 Jesus took the scroll, living creature/being said "come" for the seals being opened
- Rev 7:9-12 praising God for salvation of multitude from every tribe, people and language standing in white robes before God (and palm branches! Leviticus 23:40;John 12:13)
- Rev 11:15-19 God has begun to reign in power
(6) Great multitude like roar of mighty ocean/crashing peals of thunders shout: "Praise the Lord (Hallelujah)! For the our Lord God Almighty reigns.
(7) Let us rejoice, be glad, give him honor/glory - wedding of the Lamb, bride has made herself ready
- A big day, meaningful event - (not a first date but a fulfillment of a promise at engagement)
- (8) She's given the fine linen (represents the good deeds of God's holy People, army in Rev 19:14)
- (9) Blessed are those invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb (this is #4 of Seven blessings in Revelation explain faith, eternal life and sanctification)
- 1 Peter 1:12-21; or prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Application: What are the names of people you know, who haven't professed faith in Jesus to you? When will you ask them, 'What do you know about Jesus'?
B) Jesus brings beast, false prophet to eternal justice and kills all their followers
(11) Heaven opened (Ezekiel 1:1 heavens opened saw visions of God, Revelation 4:1 door open in heaven, come up here I'll show you...), white horse (Revelation 6:2 rider held a bow, given crown, bent on conquest), rider named Faithful and True -
(12) Eyes like flames of fire (Matthew 28:3 like lightening), many crowns on head. Name written on him no one understood except himself
(13) wore robe dipped in blood, title was the Word of God (John 1:1 - Word can be thought of as the total message of God to man (Acts 11:1; 1 Thessalonians 2:13))
(14) armies of heaven followed him also riding white horses, dressed in fine linen, white and clean
(15) Out his mouth sharp sword (Psalm 2:9; Isaiah 11:4 rod of his mouth... breath will slay the wicked)
(17-18) Then an angel standing in the sun said to all birds "come...great supper of God - eat flesh of all people..."
(19) beast/kings/armies gather to fight, (20) beast/false prophet captured, thrown ALIVE in lake of fire (burning sulfur) - performed miracles-deluded those who received mark of the beast (21) rest were killed with sword from riders mouth, birds gorged on flesh
Principal: God final judgement against sin is terrifying and certain
Application: What habitual sin in my life do I need the fear of God to help me repent? What do I need him to surgically remove (cut out of my life) from my heart with his precision scalpel (Matthew 5:30)?
