8. 6 Then I heard what seemed to be the
Revelation 19:6-10
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.”

9. 7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him
the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb
has come, and his Bride has made her-
self ready….
Revelation 19:6-10

10. “Behold, the Lamb of
God who takes away
the sin of the world!”
~ John the Baptist in
the Gospel of John, 1:29

11. Then I looked, and I heard
around the throne and the
living creatures and the
elders the voice of many
angels, numbering myriads of
myriads and thousands of
thousands, saying with a loud
voice,“Worthy is the Lamb
who was slain,to receive
power and wealth and
wisdom and might and honor
and glory and blessing!”
~ Revelation 5:11-13

12. “…And I heard every
creature in heaven and on
earth and under the earth
and in the sea, and all that
is in them, saying,“To him
who sits on the throne and
to the Lamb be blessing
and honor and glory and
might forever and ever!”
~ Revelation 5:11-13

13. ~ The Apostle Paul in
Ephesians 5:31
“‘Therefore a man shall
leave his father and his
mother and hold fast to his
wife, and the two shall
become one flesh.’ This
mystery is profound, and I
am saying that it refers to
Christ and the Church.”

14. “…marriage, in its deepest
meaning, is a copy of Christ
and the church. If you want
to understand God’s
meaning for marriage, you
have to grasp that we are
dealing with a copy of an
original, a metaphor of a
greater reality, a parable
and a greater truth…

15. “…The original, the reality,
the truth refer to…Christ’s
marriage to the church. And
the copy, the metaphor, the
parable refer to human
marriage between a
husband and a wife.”

16. 7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him
the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb
has come, and his Bride has made her-
self ready; it was granted for her to clothe
herself with fine linen, bright and pure”—
for the fine linen is the righteous deeds
of the saints.
Revelation 19:6-10

17. “For by grace you have been saved through faith.
And this is not from your own doing; it is the gift of
God, not as a result of works, so that no one may
boast. For we are his workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared
beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
~ The Apostle Paul in Ephesians 2:8-10

18. 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.”
Revelation 19:6-10

19. “On this mountain, the
Lord of hosts will
make for all peoples a
feast of rich food, a
feast of well-aged
wine, of rich food full
of marrow, of aged
wine well-refined.”
~ Isaiah 25

20. “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters;
and he who has no money, come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk without money and without
price. Why do you spend your money for that which
is not bread, and your labor for that which does not
satisfy. Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.”
~ Isaiah 55

21. 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.”
Revelation 19:6-10

22. 10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship
him, and 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.”

Adorn the Gospel.

our Savior. For the grace of God has appeared, bringing
salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness
and worldly passions, and to live self- controlled, upright,
and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed
hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and
Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us
from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for
his own possession who are zealous for good works.”
~ The Apostle Paul in Titus 2:10b-14

27. Heighten your anticipation.3

29. “The term is over: the holidays
have begun. The dream is
ended: this is the morning.”
And as He spoke, He no
longer looked to them like a
lion; but the things that began
to happen after that were so
great and beautiful that I
cannot write them.

30. And for us this is the end of all
the stories, and we can most
truly say that they all lived
happily ever after. But for
them it was only the beginning
of the real story.

31. All their life in this world and
all their adventures in Narnia
had only been the cover and
the title page: now at last they
were beginning Chapter One
of the Great Story which no
one on earth has read—which
goes on for ever—in which
every chapter is better than
the one before.

32. “No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived what God has
prepared for those who love him….”
~ The Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 2:9 ~
