Revelation 19 part 1 – The Marriage Supper of The Lamb
Please visit our website:

2. The Marriage Supper of The Lamb
A loud voice of a great multitude in heaven
They were already in heaven
Alleluia – let us praise God
Not exhorted to praise, but corporately moved to by what He has done
Responding to His demonstration of power
Also to the justice of what He has done
Moved to praise by the fact that He has, at last, avenged their blood
Alleluia repeated because they perceive the whore’s judgement
Not the eternal nature of her judgement

3. The Marriage Supper of The Lamb
Her smoke rises forever
elsewhere referred to as “the smoke of her torment”
Revelation 14 v 11
Also 18 v 10 and 18 v 18
Judgement is eternal – no annihilationist support – no post-mortem evangelism.
Response from the 24 Elders, presumably to the voices of the multitude in Heaven
Worshipped saying “Amen” (trustworthy or sure or so-be-it)
Note, they fell down!
This describes an overwhelming worship where the worshippers are completely over-awed – lost in wonder, love and praise

4. The Marriage Supper of The Lamb
The voice from the throne
Jesus – The Lamb - is on the throne
Is this the Son exhorting praise of the Father?
The great leveller – all both small and great.
Then, this great sound
Like a great multitude
Like the voice of many waters – Niagra?
Like mighty thunderings
Huge and overwhelming sound
“Hallelujah for the Lord our God Omnipotent (Almighty) reigns”

5. The Marriage Supper of The Lamb
Let us rejoice and be glad for the marriage of the lamb has come and His wife has made herself ready.
Parallel with the Jewish wedding
This has to be the church
Jehovah already the husband of Israel
Jesus has come – the 2nd time, after the betrothal, at a time unexpected
The bride has made herself ready – in the sense of putting on her wedding attire – the garments of salvation
She was ‘granted’ to be clothed with white linen
She was, at the wedding, displaying righteousness
Her fine linen was righteousness (the righteousnesses) of the saints

6. The Marriage Supper of The Lamb
You will recall the Jewish wedding
The betrothal at the first coming – unbreaksable covenant
Bride to wait in readiness – nothing to do except wait and remain faithful
Unlike our culture where the groom awaits the bride at the church, the bride awaits the groom to come for her, having prepared a place for her
After the marriage feast he would be intimate with her for 7-days
She would (ideally) be found perfect (a virgin)
Jude tells us that He will present us unstained at hid glorious throne

7. The Marriage Supper of The Lamb

8. The Marriage Supper of The LambSo
Blessed are those who are called – the true saying of God
Supremely blessed, fortunate, well-off
John so impressed he bows down to worship the Angel
The Angel insists He does not
The worship of the angelic beings is forbidden – reserved for God alone.
Worship because you have the testimony of Jesus
Testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy

9. The Marriage Supper of The Lamb
Spirit – pneuma is the wind or the force or the essence
Therefore the testimony of Jesus (either by Him or of Him) is the very force or essence of prophecy
It is where all true prophecy leads or concludes
Prophecies about many events deal with the event, but add detail that includes and looks forward to these days when:
Jesus comes to save
Jesus comes again
Jesus judges the Beast, the false prophet and Satan
Jesus judges the wicked and avenges the blood of the saints
Jesus comes for His bride and holds His marriage supper
Jesus makes all things new in the new heaven and new earth
