He Shall Reign

Read Revelations 10-12

Revelations 11:15 says, "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever."  I love all the renditions of the Hallelujah Chorus from the Silent Monk edition to the Flash Mob Mall edition.  One can’t help but sing along, even if only in the mind.

The song sweeps us up in the joy and excitement of the words and music.  Without a director to tell us that we can’t, we find ourselves singing all the parts—soprano, alto, tenor, bass.  If somebody is singing, we’re singing, too.

The words are prophetic—taken from this verse.  All of the kingdoms of this world—whether countries or fortunes—will be taken over by God at the end.  All problems will be fixed, all issues resolved, when the Lord reigns at last.

Tomorrow’s reading: Revelations 13-15
