Revelation 19:1-10 Highlights 4 Reasons
Why Every Believer
Should Add Their Voice to Heaven’s
“Hallelujah” Chorus!
1) Because His
judgment of the wicked is both deserved and fair
(Revelation 19:1-2)
2) Because His judgments are permanent and
unalterable
(Revelation 19:3-4)

Reflection/Application:
How should the ‘end of the story’ (or the “end of
the beginning”) impact our daily lives as
Bible-believing Christians? Write 2-3 specific applications.
Do we truly love true righteousness? Do we hunger
and thirst for it? What does this desire
have to do with us longing for the second coming of Christ?
God is not only glorified in his expressions of
loving-kindness He’s also glorified in His holy wrath!
Is it wrong to praise God when the unrepentant enemies
of Christ receive the “due penalty” of their sin? Or should our hearts be torn? (Carefully
compare Proverbs 11:10; Revelation 19:1-10 with Romans 9:1-3; Ezekiel
33:11). Hint- this appears to be a
both/and situation.
Properly understood and applied the study of
biblical prophesy and the preaching of eschatology should always lead to lofty
doxology (praise). Explain some of the
reasons why this is so.
What did the opening illustration concerning the
statue of brutal dictator Sadaam Hussein being torn down have to do with
Revelation 17-22?
Listen to the praise songs listed below on
YouTube. What common themes do you find
traced throughout these worship songs?
How do unbelievers respond to the forthcoming
destruction of “Babylon” (Satan’s kingdom of darkness)? Why are they so distraught? How does this differ from the way heaven
responds?
