Glorifying Gospel Testimony of the Lamb

Revelation 19:6-10 

    6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! 7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” 8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
    9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

A great voice will be majestically echoed forth before the throne, as if innumerable people were talking and thundering, but this time to not only show God’s glory but also His sovereign rule over all time and its events.  The inhabitants of heaven will rejoice and glorify Him because the time for marriage of the Lamb with His church is at hand (Matthew 22:2-14).  The saints who are all called in Christ will have prepared themselves for ultimate union with Him in grace and their testimony and in His righteousness.  The angel testified to John in this revelation that these are truths of God, and all called to the wedding supper are indeed blessed.  John fell at the servant messenger’s feet as if to worship, but it was made clear that worship is God’s alone.  We all testify of Jesus, obedient angel and human messengers called out, and worship Him in the beauty of holiness (Psalm 29:2, 96:9).  This is the true spirit of prophecy, to testify to the work of Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away our sin!
