This show will be about #Revelation 19:1-9 according to #TheGreatMessage translation:
19:1 After these things I heard what was like a great voice of a large crowd in heaven saying, "Praise Jah! The salvation, the glory, and the power of our God!
19:2 True and righteous are his judgments, for he has judged the Great Prostitute who was corrupting the earth by her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of those serving him who died because of her hand!”
19:3 And a second time they call out, “Praise Jah!” And the smoke from her destruction continues to rise into the ages of ages [or, “forever”].
19:4 The twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down and gave royal homage to God, to the one sitting on the throne, saying, "Let this be true [or, 'Amen']: Praise Jah!"
19:5 A voice came out from the throne saying, "All of his servants and those fearing him, the small and the great, must praise our God!"
19:6 I listened as a voice of a large crowd and as a voice like many rushing waters and as a voice like strong thunderings began to say, "Praise Jah! For the Lord God, the Almighty, exercised his sovereignty!
19:7 We should rejoice and we should be extremely glad, and we should give glory to God, because the marriage of the Lamb has arrived and his wife has prepared herself.
19:8 It was granted to the Lamb's wife that she should wear a fine garment, bright and clean, for the fine garment she wears represents the righteous works of the holy ones."
19:9 Then the one speaking says to me, "You must write, 'Happy are those having been invited to the marriage feast of the Lamb.'" He also says to me, "These are the real messages [or, 'the true words'] of God."
