Revelation 19:1-10
Rejoicing in Heaven
After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out,
“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
2 for his judgments are true and just;
for he has judged the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her immorality,
and has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”
3 Once more they cried out,
“Hallelujah!
The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.”
4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” 5 And from the throne came a voice saying,
“Praise our God,
all you his servants,
you who fear him,
small and great.”
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb
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.

Questions:
Doctrine - How we Think
- Why did the heavenly multitude sing praises to God? What are some reasons that you have praised God recently?
- Why is the picture of marriage used to describe the relationship of Christ and the church?
Worship - How we Feel
- How do you feel when Christians shout out praise and thanksgivings? Does it make you feel uncomfortable? If so, why or why not? Some Christian groups are self-conscious about being emotional with their faith. How can this be a problem? How can being overly emotional be a problem too?
- How do you feel that our salvation is compared to a banquet, a most high privilege and honor? Do you think your salvation is an honor?
Application - What we Do
- How can you show that you think of salvation as an honor in your daily life?
- How can you prepare yourself for that future meeting with the groom at the marriage supper of the Lamb?
