Joy in Heaven

Reflections on Revelation 19:1-5

A great multitude in heaven rejoices because God has avenged the blood of his servants by judging the great prostitute.  They rejoice again because they see the smoke from her rising up forever and realize that her judgment is final and eternal.  Never again will they suffer from her violence or fear her deception. 

Finally, the twenty-four elders, representing all saints from both the Old and New Testament ages, and the four living creatures, representing all living creation, fall down and worship God.  A voice from the throne commands all God's servants, all who fear him whether great or small, to praise their God.
