Verse – Revelation 19:4-9
The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried: “Amen, Hallelujah!” Then a voice came from the throne, saying: “Praise our God, all you, his servants, you who fear him, both great and small!”
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. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.
Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.) Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”
Reflection – Revelation 19:4-9 – The Holy Supper
In this powerful vision, John gives us a glorious glimpse into God’s eternal kingdom. We see God seated on His throne, surrounded by a great multitude who worship Him day and night. The atmosphere is alive with songs of praise, honouring His unmatched glory and greatness. But what captures our hearts most is the announcement of a wedding supper — a magnificent celebration where the Bride, the Church, is united with her Bridegroom, Jesus Christ.
This wedding supper is not just a celebration; it is the ultimate reunion, the moment when believers finally meet their Savior face to face. Imagine the joy and anticipation of the countless guests, rushing to their seats, knowing their place has already been reserved. It’s a beautiful reminder that for those who have accepted Christ, their invitation is secure — their seat at this eternal feast is saved.
Isn’t it comforting and inspiring to know that our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, that we are part of this great multitude, invited to the greatest celebration in heaven? But this invitation comes with a call — to live in the holiness of our Lord here on earth. It is by walking faithfully in His ways that we ensure our place remains secure at the banquet. Our conduct and faithfulness now are a reflection of our readiness for that glorious day.
