Day 364, or December the 30th. The Guaranteed
Perfect Experience. Our thoughts today are from
Revelation chapter 19, verse 6. Then I heard
what sounded like a great multitude, like the
roar of rushing waters, and like loud peals of
thunder, shouting, Hallelujah, for our Lord God
Almighty reigns! And now the big picture surrounding
this verse. John's writings about judgment are
followed by details of the second coming of Jesus.
This glorious final act by God will crown and
complete all that Jesus accomplished on the cross.
To the early church, undergoing many trials and
savage persecution, these words from Jesus, which
he related to John, must have sounded too good
to be true. Too difficult to imagine, but coming
from someone completely trustworthy, so it had
to be true. Everything will finally be just as
God always planned it, and all believers are
included and invited to the marriage supper.
See you there. And now, our action step for today.
can you remember watching an olympic opening
or closing ceremony on tv or maybe you were able
to get a ticket and experience it live with the
entire surrounding atmosphere on the other hand
you may have attended an fa cup final or world
cup final and can still feel the tingling in
your spine even now after many years have passed
These experiences will pale into insignificance
when compared with the second coming of Jesus
Christ. John must have felt the hair on the back
of his head bristle even as he wrote this portion
of Revelation. He must have gone to his death
really looking forward to this climax of history.
Well, he's still waiting for it, and so am I,
and so are all other believers. We are 2 ,000
years closer to it than John was, and I'm convinced
the waiting will be worth it. Of course, some
of us may still be alive when it happens. Wow!
This isn't instead of a meaningful life on earth,
it's as well as. Be sure to enjoy each day as
it comes, but never forget what is promised,
and it could be tomorrow.
