Revelation 19:5-7a
5 And from the throne came a voice saying,
“Praise our God,
all you his servants,
you who fear him,
small and great.”
Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,
“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
the Almighty reigns.
7 Let us rejoice and exult
and give him the glory
Is God like a day at the Beach? Why would Revelation 19 tell us Heaven makes noises like this?
Jesus calmed the waters and what was the reaction?
Matthew 8:24-27
24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.
25 And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.”
26 And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?”
Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27 And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?”
We ask ourselves what it be like to be at the Throne of God?
Hebrews 4:16
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
We sing with awe and wonder, "I Can Only Imagine."
Jesus slept in the Boat. He had been part of Life since before Abraham. Within Jesus, He knew what it is to boldly be at the Throne of Grace.
A Day at the Beach. If you are on a small boat, this would be cause for great alarm, but if you are home on the beach with a warm drink, the ones you love and fire in the fireplace, this storm is interesting, especially when visiting the beach. Jesus was at Home, Jesus was comfortable.
In Revelation 1, Jesus tells John, do not be afraid.
C.S. Lewis said, "Aslan is not a tame lion. He is Very Good."
Jesus said this about speaking to Our Abba, we know Jesus went to Pray often. Luke 11:5-13
Abba - asked - will give whatever we need. Understanding Who Our Father is - we can impudently ask - for what we want to say to God. Even in the 11 or 12 hour. Jesus tells us as He explains, we may ask even for 3 loaves.
And He will do more than we can ask or imagine.
Abba,
When the Saints go marching in,
I want to be in that Number,
When the Saints go marching in.
And when the Saints go marching in,
please make sure to sweep in my Loved ones,
when the Saints go marching in.
I want to be with Jesus when they sing this number here.
Amen in Jesus for all of God's Good Creation. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
