This is the last day of the year, I’ve got a good momentum going. Let’s do the Life Journal again.
Scripture
Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”
Revelation 19:7
Observation
The passage at the beginning of chapter 19 describes heaven rejoicing at the final defeat of Babylon and the preparation of the bride for the marriage supper of the Lamb.
It seem a little gloat-y to be cheering over the destruction of others – however seeing as it is the end of evil and its influence on others, that really is a cause for celebration.
Application
The times that we live in can be taxing when evil corruption and deceipt continue on. It seems like there can be no end to it. But this passage would beg to differ. The struggle will soon be over and we can lay our burdens down. That’s something to celebrate – happy new year!
Prayer
Our Lord, thank you so much for sharing with us the truth that all the things we deal with in our day to day lives will come to an end. And that it doesn’t end in nothingness and loss. Nihilism is declared by you to be a false teaching. There is a victory. There will be a wedding. Peace and Joy will reign supreme. Hallelujah and Amen.
Alright – now we actually get started in 2023 tomorrow!
