Passage: Revelation 19:1-16

Speaker: Brian Land

Series: Advent 2022

Category: Grace Brevard

Keywords: love, christmas, marriage, advent, warfare, wedding, battle, dragon

Theme: Our fickle and wandering hearts are being cosmically and eternally fought over. The beautiful deceiver coaxes us to sacrifice ourselves for quick-satisfaction and temporary glory while our True Bridegroom has come to propose glorious marriage to us, wooing us through him lovingly sacrificing himself so that we may have true satisfaction. In the process Jesus reveals the deceiver for the liar and life-taker that he is, and brings final and perfect justice as he sets us, his Bride, free.

CENTRAL TEXT: Revelation 19:1-16

6 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, 

“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
the Almighty reigns.
7 Let us rejoice and exult
and give him the glory,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and his Bride has made herself ready;
8 it was granted her to clothe herself
with fine linen, bright and pure”—

for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.

9 And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” 10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems...16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.

 

Call To Worship: Rev 19:5

LEADER 5 And from the throne came a voice saying, 

ALL “Praise our God,
all you his servants,
you who fear him,
small and great.”
