December 12

Introduction

Chapter 19 begins the concluding section of Revelation with a series of final visions that depict the defeat of evil. The wedding feast of the Lamb is celebrated with rejoicing and praise of God’s greatness.

Scripture Reading 

Revelation 19:1-10

Today’s Key Verse: Revelation 19:6b, 7a

“Praise God! For the Lord, our Almighty God, is King! Let us rejoice and be glad; let us praise his greatness!”

Reflect

The wedding feast celebrates the uniting of Christ (the Lamb) and his people (the bride). In the Old Testament, God’s love for Israel is described in terms of a husband/wife relationship (see Isaiah 54:1-8). In the New Testament, the church is depicted as the wife of Christ (Ephesians 5:25). How is the wedding feast described? 

Pray

Lord God, you have extended your invitation to me to celebrate the wedding feast of the Lamb. Your reign is eternal and I praise your greatness. Amen.
