After
this [the Fall of Babylon] I heard
What
sounded like a mighty shout of a great crowd in Heaven,
Exclaiming,
Hallelujah—praise the Lord!
Salvation
and Glory (splendor and majesty)
And
Power (dominion and authority [belong] to our God!
Because
His judgments—His condemnation and punishment,
His
sentence of Doom—are true and sound just and upright.
He
has judged—convicted, pronounced sentence and Doomed
The
Great and Notorious Harlot [idolatress]
Who
Corrupted and Demoralized and Poisoned the earth
With
her Lewdness and Adultery [idolatry].
And
He has avenged—visited on her the penalty for--
The
blood of His servants. [Deut. 32:43.]
And
again they shouted, Hallelujah—praise the Lord!
The
smoke of her [burning] shall continue to ascend forever and ever--
Through
the eternities of the Eternities. [Isa. 34:10.]
Then
the Twenty-four Elders [of the Heavenly Sanhedrin]
And
the Four Living Creatures fell prostrate and worshiped
(Paying
divine honors to) God Who sits on the Throne,
Saying,
Amen! Hallelujah—praise the Lord!
Then
from the Throne there came a voice saying, Praise our God,
All
you servants of His, you who Reverence Him,
Both
small and great! [Ps. 115:13.]
After
that I heard what sounded like the shout of a vast throng,
Like
the boom of may pounding waves
And
like the roar of terrific and mighty thunder peals,
Exclaiming,
Hallelujah—praise the Lord!
For
now the Lord our god the Omnipotent—the All-Ruler—REIGNS!
Let
us Rejoice—and shout for Joy—Exulting and Triumphant!
Let
us Celebrate and ascribe to Him Glory and Honor,
For
the MARRIAGE of the Lamb [at last] has come
And
His Bride has prepared herself. [Ps. 118:24.]
She
has been permitted to dress in fine (radiant) linen--
Dazzling
and white, for the fine linen is (signifies, represents)
THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS—the upright, just and godly living [deeds, conduct]
And
RIGHT STANDING with God—of the Saints (God's Holy People).
Then
[the angel] said to me, Write this down:
Blessed—Happy,
to be envied—are those who are summoned
(Invited,
called) to the, MARRIAGE SUPPER of the Lamb.
And
he said to me [further], these are the True Words--
The
genuine and exact declarations –of God.
(Revelation
19:1-9, AMP)
It
is the Righteous Act of the Saints
That
enables them to become the Bride of Christ;
To
MARRY the Son of God—the Lamb.
SHE
HAS PREPARED HERSELF for this Spectacular Occasion.
By
giving up her life on earth to receive the LIFE of Christ. Listen:
'If
anyone would come after Me, he must DENY himself
And
take up his Cross and follow Me.
For
whoever wants to Save his life will lose it,
But
whoever loses his life FOR ME and for the Gospel will Save it.
What
good is for a man to gain the Whole World, yet FORFEIT his Soul?
Or
what can a man give in Exchange for his Soul?
If
anyone is Ashamed of Me and My Words
In
this Adulterous and Sinful Generation,
The
Son of Man will be Ashamed of him
When
he comes in His Father's Glory with the Holy angels.'
(Mark
8:34-38)
So,
The Bride of Christ was willing to lose her life for Christ
And
the Good News He brought to the World;
The
only Good News that exists in the World;
She
took up her Cross and followed Christ,
And
by doing so she SAVED HER LIFE for Eternity.
Christ
Jesus warned us all:
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man.
(Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
