Revelation 19:1-5:

1 After these things, I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honour and power belong to the Lord our God! 2 For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” 3 Again, they said, “Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” 4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!” 5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!”

All the heavens rejoice and praise God (Hallelujah) when the harlot was defeated, and the harlot represents Babylon, the corrupt empire that rules in opposition to God. The day will come when we witness this victory together with all the hosts of heaven, whether after the rapture to meet up in Christ or resurrected from our earthly deaths. Christ will finally take His rightful place to rule the earth as the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. The Lamb of God shall be the Lion of Judah seated in the throne, at the right hand of Father God. A time when there will not be any more tears and sadness and sin. Those who trusted the name of Jesus and put their faith in Christ will be sinless and blameless because of the blood of Christ, and we will have continued tangible communion with God. We will be able to see God face to face as we will be holy and blameless before Him as sin is no more!

In the meantime, let us praise Him for His goodness and blessings upon our lives and the lives of our loved ones. For who we are today and for how far we have journeyed in the faith. As Paul had declared before, God will make all things work together for good for those who love Him and who are called in accordance to His purpose (Romans 8:28). There may have been ups and downs to arrive at where we are, and the journey may still be arduous to where we will be in the years to come, but we will not give up and will continue to put our trust in Him. We will strive and persevere onwards like Christian soldiers marching as to war but with the cross of Jesus going on before!

Have a good and amazing time praising the Lord today! Remember to thank Him for all He has been to us all these years! Let’s celebrate His goodness and grace and mercy. Let’s exalt and proclaim His name as we who experienced His love, peace, and joy, His power and supernatural authority in our lives! The more we give Him our time and service, the more He blesses us! Hallelujah! The Lord is good, He is good all the time! Hallelujah!
