Are you ready for the ceremony?

Revelation 11: ¹⁵ The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said:

   “The kingdom of the world has become
   the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,
   and he will reign for ever and ever.”

Billions of people are predicted to watch the ceremony of royalty getting married this weekend. Months and months of planning went into this effort, yet it pales in comparison to the ceremony shown to John in this passage.

The seventh and final angel has blown his trumpet during this grand coronation of our risen LORD and savior JESUS who is the Messiah. This marks the finality of GOD’s judgment on sin and begins a sequence of events that leads to eternal life for some and death for others.

• My sin on this earth has a limited time.
• My sin on this earth can and will be held against me.
• My sin on this earth amounts to nothing but pain and frustration.

JESUS has overcome sin through HIS death and resurrection. The FATHER has placed HIM over all of creation once again. JESUS took on the punishment for my sin but I still have to stand before HIM to give an account of my life.

During this incredibly supreme ceremony JESUS is declared LORD and “HE will reign for ever and ever.”

• Are you so focused on your current situation that you cannot praise GOD for loving you?
• Can you take a moment to praise HIM for all HE has done for you?
• Will you take a moment to tell someone about HIS SON and how HE saved you?
