Revelation 19:1-10 A Wedding Invitation

Revelation 19 NLT
Songs of Victory in Heaven 
1 After this, I heard what sounded like a vast crowd in heaven shouting, “Praise the LORD! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God. 2 His judgments are true and just. He has punished the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality. He has avenged the murder of His servants.” 3 And again their voices rang out: “Praise the LORD! The smoke from that city ascends forever and ever!” 4 Then the twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down and worshiped God, who was sitting on the throne. They cried out, “Amen! Praise the LORD!” 5 And from the throne came a voice that said, “Praise our God, all His servants, all who fear Him, from the least to the greatest.” 6 Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a vast crowd or the roar of mighty ocean waves or the crash of loud thunder: “Praise the LORD! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns. 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give honor to Him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and His bride has prepared herself. 8 She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear.” For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God’s holy people. 9 And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he added, “These are true words that come from God.” 10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus."

The wedding feast of the Lamb. I can't wait. Who doesn't love a wedding? Dressing up, flowers and ribbons everywhere, smiles, love in the air....
Think about what this wedding feast is going to be like, better then you can even imagine. Everyone dressed in white because we will all be pure and blameless. White table clothes, white dishes, white flowers.... And the food! Better then any you have ever tasted, calorie and cholesterol free! 
At the head of the table will be Jesus, I can picture Him lifting His glass in a toast. For some reason, and only by His supernatural power, I picture each of us will be seated next to Him. We will each have the perception we are at the head of the table with Him and everyone else is seated at this long, long table. Wouldn't that be awesome? We each would sit next to and dine with Jesus!

Jesus said in John 14:1 “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in Me. 2 There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 3 When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.”

That's a promise. Jesus is preparing a place for me. Jesus is preparing a place for you. When everything is ready, He will be back for us. And the way to where He is going is through faith in Christ.

Blessings, Cecilia
