THE ALLELUIA CHORUS             	Pastor Bob Chroninger 
Trinity C.U.  7-2-00 P.M.   		Revelation 19:1-5   		
	Do you ever wonder what is going to happen?  We have been studying Revelation... it 
gives us a "bird's eye" view.  This passage changes the scene from the great destruction on earth... 
to a great "praise" scene in heaven.... Notice... 
I. THE CAUSE.. 
  A. The Great "Harlot" Is Judged.. 2  (Probably both religious & political) 
    1. She corrupted the earth.. with her "fornications" 
    2. She killed the servants of the Lord 
 ** And Now Her Judgment Has Come.. true and just! 
  B. The Great Qualities of God Are Revealed.. 2 
    1. His Great Salvation.. deliverance 
    2. His Great Glory.. moral glory in judgment 
    3. His Great Honor.. His name has been abused for a long time... 
    4. His Great Power.. displayed in the destruction of Babylon.. 
    5. His Great Judgment.. 
	- It is true.. God is Truth.. He won't tarry forever.. 
	   - When iniquity of unbelief is "full"  (Gen.15:16..  Amorites) 
	   - Even though God's servants are allowed to suffer & die..
	 - It is righteous.. God is.. and the judgment will be also. 
	- It will "fit the crime"..  God will settle the "score" 
  C. The Great Anticipation.. 
    1. The climax is about to take place.. 
    2. The antichrist has ruled for seven years.. 
    3. The devil has almost had his way.. 
    4. The end is just ahead!!  For 2000 yrs. believers have prayed, 
	"Thy kingdom come.. thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven."
II. THE CELEBRATION.. 
  A. Comes From Many Sources.. 
    1. People in heaven..  much people.. 7:9 great multitude.. 
    2. Twenty four elders.. 
    3. Four "beasts".. (living creatures) 
  B. Comes As Much Praise! 
	- What the kings, merchants, & people of earth mourn.. Heaven rejoices 
	- The darker things become now.. the greater our Praise Then! 
    1. Alleluia.. vs.1.. for the qualities of God.. Think about them! 
    2. Alleluia.. vs. 3.. for the retribution 
  C. Comes As Complete Worship..  4 "fell down before God on the Throne. 
    1. All heaven is of one mind and soul.. (Thy will be done..)
III. THE COMMAND..  5 
  A. It Came From The Throne.. 
    1. God sat on the throne.. 4.. 
    2. Christ at His right hand..  Ps.22:23-31 
  B. It Came As A Command..  5 
    1. Praise God... 
	- All that serve Him - All that fear Him 
	- All that are before Him... small and great 
  C. It Came As A Result.. 
    1. Of the great judgment on Babylon.. a political regeneration is about to take place !  
	Is.9:6,7.. "government on His shoulders.." 
    2. Of the great expectation.. 
	- Of the "marriage of the Lamb"
	- Of the complete destruction of the Beast & False Prophet..
	- Of the imprisonment of the Devil himself.. 
	- Of the establishment of the Kingdom on earth.. 
	   - The crushing stone of Nebuchadnezzar's dream..  Dan.3:32-45 
	   - The dominion and duration of Daniel's dream.. Dan.7 
	   - The announcement to Mary.. "reign over the house of Jacob forever."  Lu.1:26-33 
	   - The teaching of Jesus..  "to receive a kingdom & return" Lu.19:11-13 

WILL NOT BE AS A RESULT OF THE "CHRISTIANIZING" OF THE WORLD.. 
    BUT THE UTTER AND COMPLETE SUBJECTION OF ALL TO THE DIVINE RULE OF CHRIST. 
ARE YOU PUTTING THAT SUBJECTION INTO PRACTICE NOW? 
    REMEMBER... JESUS THE CHRIST IS BOTH SAVIOR AND LORD !!!
