MONDAY, MARCH 28, 2022 Scripture
Reading: Revelation 19:1–8
Additional Scriptures: Leviticus
23:26–41; Psalm 53
Verse 1 of Revelation 9 contains the famous HALLELUJAH
CHORUS, as the "great multitude" in heaven break out in praise to the
Lord! The word hallelujah is a combination of hallal = "praise", and yah = short for "Jehovah." So the meaning is
actually "praise ye the Lord".
In the New Testament, it occurs only in this chapter and
is used 4 times in verses 1 through 6!!! The saints have already praised Him
for creation (in Revelation 4:11, and for redemption (in Revelation 5:12,13).
Now the people of God praise the name of Jesus for
salvation, and ascribe glory and honor, and power to His name!
O Lord our God, in Your
Holy Sacraments you have given us a foretaste of the good things of Your
kingdom: Direct us, we pray, in the way that leads to eternal life, that we may
come to appear before You in that place of light where You dwell forever with
Your saints; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and
the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen [2]
