--The Book of Revelation assures us victory and empowers the army of God- (all of His people.)

--(Regarding: Revelation 21:1-22:21)
-[The Lucado Life Lesson's Study Bible]

--We, the soldiers, are privileged a glimpse into the final battlefield. All Hell breaks loose as all Heaven comes forth. The two collide in the ultimate battle of good and evil. Left standing amidst the smoke and thunder is the Son of God, Jesus, born in a manger--now triumphant over Satan.

--Satan is defeated. Christ is triumphant. And we, the soldiers, are assured Victory, in Christ.
-SITUATION ~
--John told Christians that in the end, God would triumph. Despite the obstacles, Christians face in this life, all who hold Jesus as their Lord will spend eternity in fellowship with God.

Finally sin will be destroyed. Death will die. Tears, anger and frustration will be gone.

-INSPIRATION:

-Dare we imagine Heaven's dramatic reunions?
**A soldier embracing the sharpshooter who killed him.
**A daughter seeing her abusive but repentant father and holding him.

**A son encountering the mother who aborted him? No doubt some will. And when they do, forgiveness will flow like water over Niagara Falls.

"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb." (Isaiah 11:6)
"God will wipe away every tear...there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying...for the former things have passed away" (Revelation 21:4).

No sins, no thieves, divorce, heartbreak, and no boredom. You won't be bored in Heaven, because you won't be the same 'you' in Heaven. Boredom emerges from soils that Heaven disallows. The soil of weariness: our eyes tire. Mental limitations: information overload dulls us. Self-centeredness: we grow disinterested when the spotlight shifts to others. Tedium: meaningless activity siphons vigor.

But Satan will take these weedy soils, to Hell with him, leaving you with a keen mind, endless focus, and God-honoring JOY. Are you looking for the day when God removes all evil? Throughout today, worship God and tell Him of your love for Him. As you encounter others who notice your joy, tell them about the future you have with Jesus. Eternity in total bliss with the King of kings, Jesus the Holy One of Israel. ~~

--We Read of Christ on a White Horse~
--(Revelation 19:11-16)

-Now I saw Heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called 'The Word of God'. And the armies in Heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
--KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
-Jesus Christ is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
--'Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessings!

Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and ever!" (Rev. 5:12-13)
