Revelation 19:1-10
HEAVEN’S ALLELUIA WEDDING
HEAVEN’S ALLELUIA WEDDING
Text: Revelation 19:1-10
Introduction: Here is a Command, a Promise, an Anticipation from scripture: Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready. Now the wife in scripture here is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. God chose a marriage to illustrate that glorious moment when we become one with our Lord. The Bible calls it the Marriage of the Lamb. The highest happiness on earth is in marriage. Every man and woman who is happily married is successful even if they have failed in everything else. Let's notice The Alleluia Wedding of the Bible - The Wedding of Jesus Christ (The groom) and The Church (The bride). We need to understand that the Church is a local visible body of saved, baptized believers who have joined together as a Church (congregation) family to carry out the Great Commission which the Lord Jesus gave to His churches. These churches will make up the bride. This wedding will be The Alleluia Wedding of all time! Why?
I. THE MUSIC WILL BE MAGNIFICENT.
We Will Sing Four Tunes:
1.) The Alleluia of the Redemption of the Saints! Rev. 19:1
2.) The Alleluia of the Retribution of the Sinners! Rev. 19:2-3

III. THE GUESTS WILL BE GLAD.
Revelation 19:9 “And He saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And He saith unto me, these are the true sayings of God.”
A.) THE GUESTS:
John the Baptist, Old Testament Saints, and all saved who are not a part of the local New Testament Church will be the guests at the Wedding. John 3:29, Matthew 11:11, Luke 7:28
IV. THE FEAST WILL BE FABULOUS. Revelation 19:9 “the marriage supper of the Lamb.”, John 2:9-10
V. THE GROOM WILL BE GLORIFIED. Revelation 19:10
A.) A Social blunder was made by John.
He fell down and worshiped an angel. John was so wrong.
B.) The One and Only One to Worship is Jesus!
Jesus is the true and living God. On that day, the Groom, Jesus Christ, will be glorified.
CONCLUSION: The Wedding date is known by God alone. Are you ready? Luke 21:28 Example: Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25:1-13. Our Lord concludes this parable with a warning -- Matthew 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Are you ready?
