Brother Newton wrote lots of
good songs. And that's another one that he
wrote. Such a blessing. Revelation 19. I spoke to you this morning on
the subject of the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. When the
Savior came the first time, He came to redeem us. He came to save us. God had ordained, even before
He made the world, that He would have a people. And those people would be sinful
people falling into sin and transgression by a representative man whose
name was Adam. And our God purposed that through
another representative man, the last Adam, the Son of God, Christ
Jesus incarnate, He would redeem us. and he would save us. He came the first time to make
things right between us and God. It's a blessed thing to have
an understanding of the fact that the issues of redemption
were, the issue of redemption and removal of all of our guilt,
the putting away of all of our transgressions, it's wonderful
to know, It's comforting to know that was settled when our Lord
Jesus died. Isn't that comforting to know
that there's nothing that need be added to it? There's nothing
that could ever be put to the work of Christ Jesus. Everything was done as God himself
would have it to be done. And that's the only way it could
That's the only way it could be. It's the only way we could
ever be saved is for things to be done as God would have them
to be done. And then, our Lord, after He
gave His life a ransom for many, satisfied justice, having died
for us, then He arose, He ascended back to heaven, and that's where
He is today. And one of these days, He's coming
back. I was reading this week some of the old writers. I love
reading old songs. I know Alan does, too. And I
love reading some of the old messages by preachers who are
not very well known. In fact, it's kind of hard to
even find any of their books that are in publication today.
But I was reading some things by Brother Horatius Bonar. And he said this in his, he wrote
a letter to somebody and he said, I'm always looking for the Lord
to come. And he said, every night, before
I go to bed, the last thing I do." That's what he said. He said,
I get up and open the curtains, and I look up into what is usually
a starry sky, and he said, I ask, will it be tonight, Lord? Will it be? Will it be tonight,
Lord? And he said, then he pulls the
curtains shut, and he goes to bed. He wrote in this letter,
he said, in the morning, when I get up, he said, I open up
the curtains, I look out into the sun that's beginning to shine,
and he said, then I ask, will it be today, Lord? Will it be
today? The scripture says nobody knows
the hour or the day when the Son of Man is coming back. but
this much we do know. He is coming back. And that's
the scripture that we have before us in Revelation chapter 19. In fact, in verse 11, as Brother
Terry read to us, and I read this this morning, John saw heaven
open and he saw the Lord Jesus. And then, Several things are
mentioned that set forth our Lord in His glory and His majesty. Undoubtedly, quite a bit of what
we would call symbolic language concerning our Lord's second
coming. And then John says this in verse
17, he says, Here's the next thing he saw,
because in verse 11, he said, I saw heaven open. He saw that. And then in verse 17, he said,
I saw an angel. I saw him standing in the sun.
And he cried with a loud voice. He cried with a loud voice, saying
to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, come and
gather yourselves unto the supper of the great God. Now here's
the title of the message, The Last Supper. The Last Supper. In the New Testament, there are
three significant suppers that are mentioned. All three of them
full of great picturesque language, symbolic language, we would call
it, each of these three suppers. Now, we would define supper as
being the evening meal or the last meal of the day. That's what supper is. We have breakfast, we have lunch,
we have supper. If you're a little bit more refined,
you'll say dinner. But we usually say supper. It's
supper time. It's supper time and that means
that's the last meal of the day. Well in the scriptures we find
three great suppers and I want to speak to you first of all
about these three and then go into a little bit of detail about
this last one. The first one is the Lord's Supper.
Now we know about that one, that's the Lord's Supper. That was instituted
just before our Lord died. And we know what that's about.
It's about being a picture of His body and His blood and His
death And our faith in the Lord Jesus. There is the bread of
the Lord's Supper. The bread is, that's symbolic
of His body. Now, when we take the bread,
we're not as the Catholics are, who believe in what's called
the doctrine of transubstantiation. And you don't even have to remember
that great old big long word, transubstantiation. But it just
means this, they believe that when they take the Lord's Supper,
the bread actually, it actually, through a miracle, becomes the
body of the Lord Jesus. Now we know better than that
because we know that bread is just symbolic. That's all it
is, it's symbolic of our Lord Jesus. When he said there in
John chapter six, I am the bread that came down from heaven. He's
identifying himself as Jehovah, I am, because he said I am the
bread of life. But He's also setting Himself
forth in a very symbolic way that He's the bread for His people. And we feed on Him and the way
He became bread for us, food for our souls, is like the wheat
is cut down. and goes through a process and
baked in an oven, it becomes bread for us, wholesome, and
we eat it and we enjoy it, even so our Lord Jesus is the bread
that God sent. He's the bread God sent. And
according to the will of God, men cut him down. Men cut him
down. Men killed him. But that was
in the purpose of God. And then he entered into, as
it were, the very oven of the wrath of God. The wrath of God
dealt with him severely. And the reason was because all
of the iniquities of all of his people of all of the ages were
made to meet on him. And so he entered into the wrath
of God. and thereby he became bread for
our souls. And when we take the Lord's supper,
that's what the bread, that's what it's about. That's what
it pictures. It's a very good type of our Lord Jesus in his
human nature. And then there's the wine. We
take the bread and the wine. The scripture says wine makes
the heart merry. You know, it says in the book
of Judges, it says, wine is a delight to God and men. Do you know that? Wine is a delight to God and
men. Well, the wine that stands for,
that pictures the blood, the bloody death of the Lord Jesus,
which was a delight to God. That brought God's satisfaction.
This is the way God appointed to save His people. It's the
only way that could be consistent with His own justice and holiness.
And so the Lord Jesus died. And in the shedding of His blood
to His death, that delighted God. It satisfied God. And you
know what? It satisfies us. It delights
us. And here we are 2,000 years removed
from that substitutionary death of our Lord Jesus while we still
rejoice in that death this evening because we understand by that
death He reconciled us to God. By that death He justified us. By that death He brought in righteousness
even for us and He removed all of our sin dead away. He paid
it in full. So we rejoice in that. And as
wine delights God, it delights us. Why, this is our favorite
subject. This is not only are we commanded
to preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified, and so we preach it
out of command because this is our mandate, but this is what
we delight to preach. It's the subject that we love
to talk about, the death of Christ Jesus. So there's His bread,
and there's His blood, or there's His body, and there's His blood. Now, the bread doesn't actually
become his body and the wine doesn't actually become his blood.
It's a picture. It's a picture. And then when
we eat the bread, we drink the cup as we did a couple of weeks
ago when we had the Lord's Supper, that picture is something also.
That picture is faith. That pictures faith in the Lord
Jesus. We willingly, by the grace of God, we're made willing in
the day of his power, and we willingly receive the Lord Jesus
into our very hearts, that into our innermost being. We believe
him when the scripture says his meaning is receive him. To them
gave he the authority to become the sons of God, even to them
that believe on his name. We receive him as our pope. to
teach us, to preach to us. We learn from him. We learn from
his word. We bow to no other authority
except his word, right? That's all. He's our prophet
and he's our high priest. He's the one who offered the
sacrifice to God that put away our sins and he himself was the
sacrifice. So he's both the high priest
and the offering for sin and he's our He's our king and we
receive him as prophet, priest, and king. The Lord, the Lord. That is illustrated or pictured
in eating the bread and drinking the wine. So, there's the first
supper. The first supper is the Lord's
supper. The wine that we use, it's real
wine. It isn't grape juice. We don't
use grape juice. We use wine that has been fermented. Wine has been fermented, so the
impurities are out of it. And just like we use unleavened
bread, because leaven is a picture of sin, it's a picture of hypocrisy. There was neither sin nor hypocrisy
in our Lord Jesus Christ. He was the perfect man. And so
the bread, it accurately, accurately portrays our Lord's body, his
human nature. And the wine accurately portrays
and pictures his blood. And the drinking and the eating
accurately portrays our faith in the Lord Jesus. And then there's
another supper that is mentioned in the Word of God. In fact,
it's mentioned here in Revelation chapter 19, and that is the second
supper is the marriage supper of the Lamb. This is a marriage
celebration. It's going to last forever. If
I could go back and read again verses seven and eight, and nine
of this chapter, let us be glad and rejoice and give honor to
him for the marriage of the lamb is come and his wife, she's made
herself ready. And to her was granted that she
should be arrayed in fine linen, that fine linen, clean and white,
for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints. And he saith unto
me, write, blessed, well off, to be envied, happy are they
which are summoned or called unto the marriage supper of the
Lamb. And he said unto me, these are
the true sayings of God. This will be a marriage celebration.
Now, this again is symbolic language because Though there is the union
of the Lord Jesus and his people, it isn't like, it's not going
to be a union, and it isn't a union like we have, like Nancy and
I have, being married here on earth. It isn't the same thing.
That's a picture of our relationship to Christ Jesus. And when we
get to heaven, nobody knows exactly what it's going to be like. I'm
certain that these white robes, that's symbolic language again. It pictures something. That's
what that does. It's a picture of something.
What is it a picture of? Our perfection in Christ Jesus.
It's a picture of our righteousness in Him. It's a picture of the
way we stand before God and the way God views us. Well, how does
God view us? He views us as faultless. He
views us as being without spot, without blemish or any such thing,
because He views us in the Lord Jesus. We have been, according
to the purpose of God, predestinated to be conformed to the image
of Christ Jesus. And as God has predestinated
us to be, that's the way we're going to be. And here John sees this great
group of people in white robes. I don't know what we'll be wearing.
I don't even know what kind of bodies we're going to be having
except to be glorified bodies and we will be able to identify
one another. We'll know one another in heaven
because we will retain our identities. I don't know how old we'll be.
Lots of things we don't know about this, so this again is
a lot of symbolism. in this supper, just like there's
a lot of symbolism in the Lord's Supper. So there's a lot of symbolism
in this, the marriage supper of the Lamb. And here's what
it represents, everlasting joy and celebration. You see, after
we have a wedding here, we typically go, perhaps to a banquet hall
or somewhere like that, And it's a joyful time, and we eat, and
we rejoice, and speeches are made, toasts are made. There's
a great celebration that breaks out, and everybody's happy. Well, when this talks about the
marriage supper of the Lamb, it's not talking about just one
meal that we're going to have. That's not what it's about. And
perhaps we will eat in heaven. If we do, it won't be out of
hunger. It won't be out of necessity.
Maybe we will eat in heaven. But when it talks about the marriage
supper of the Lamb, it's talking about the fact that throughout
the endless ages of eternity, we will be feasting on, we will
be enjoying all of the benefits
of the grace of God given to us in Christ Jesus. and we will
be eating as it were, eating in the things of God, consuming
the things of God, and yet there'll be more knowledge and learning
of Christ Jesus, learning of the boundless grace of God. We'll be feasting on these things
forever and ever and ever, and it'll be an everlasting time
of joy and celebration. And so John sees it pictured
in this way, a marriage supper. because when we think of the
most joyful time, and it's a lot of joyful times we have on this
earth, but one of the most joyful is when a man and a woman have
been falling in love with one another, and they pledge themselves
to each other before their families and before God, and then they
take their vows And then they're pronounced married, husband and
wife. And then everybody's happy. Everybody's
happy. And you go off to a banquet hall
and there's usually dancing and joy and all kinds of singing
and celebration. Nobody's sad. Everybody's happy. Everybody's rejoicing. Well,
carry that over. to the end of this age when our
Lord Jesus comes back to receive us unto Himself and we're gathered
before God. and presented to the Father by
the Lord Jesus, who is the perfect servant of Jehovah. And he says
to the Father, Behold, I and the children, the brethren that
thou hast given me. This is my spouse. This is my
wife. These are the ones that you gave
me in covenant love before the world began. You entrusted all
of them to me. And Father, here they are. washed
in my blood and robed in my righteousness. And we'll be rejoicing in the
grace of God through Jesus Christ to us forever and ever and ever. And John sees it pictured as
a marriage supper, a marriage supper. Like it says in Isaiah 62 in
verse five, For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy
sons marry thee. And as a bridegroom rejoiceth
over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. And he will rejoice too. In fact,
it says in Zephaniah, the Lord will rejoice over thee with singing. With singing. And I tell you,
salvation's a happy thing. This is a joyful thing. It's
joyful for us, and it's joyful for God. Why, there in Luke chapter
15, the trilogy of the parable of lost things, lost sheep, lost
coin, lost son, each of them, it's a matter of joy. It's a
matter of joy. It's a matter of happiness. And
our God, this is what brings him joy and happiness if I can
express it that way. In fact, that's the way the scripture
expresses it. And I can't comprehend the joy
of God because the Lord doesn't have passions and feelings like
we have. And so, we're really in water
way over our heads when we try to describe the things of God
and the feelings of God and the thoughts of God, because he says
my thoughts are not your thoughts, or ways my ways, that's different
as well. But I know he rejoices over us
with joy. He rejoices over us as a bridegroom
rejoices over his bride. I'll tell you, we got married
August the 2nd, 1969. Man, I was the happiest guy in
the world. I couldn't believe it then that
she would marry me. I still can't believe it. Somebody
pinch me and wake me up. I'm living the dream. I'm living
the life, I'll tell you. And it's just wonderful. And the joy that redeemed sinners
bring to the heart of Christ Jesus is indescribable. And our joy toward the Son of
God it is also indescribable. Because this is the one we love. We've fallen in love with him.
Isn't that what's happened? We've fallen in love with him.
And I know that's what happened because the scripture says, if
any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema maranatha. Know what that means? Let him
be damned when Christ comes back. We love him. We love him because
he first loved us. Simon, son of Jonas, the Savior
said, after his resurrection, he appeared to his disciples.
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Do you love me? He said,
Lord, you know all things. You know I love you. You shed
your love abroad in my heart. We fell in love with the Savior.
We fell in love with this gospel. That's the reason we can't put
up with a false gospel. It's like, you know, the Lord
rebuked Israel. He said, you dilute the wine.
That's why we don't want to hear anybody who dilutes the wine
of the gospel of Christ or who introduces some foreign substance
into it. We like the pure gospel. That's what we want. That's the
only thing we'll stand for because this is what brings us great
joy. So this is the second supper, the marriage supper of the Lamb.
And unlike the celebration or the joy after a wedding and you have
the marriage celebration, And it ends. And hopefully the joy
don't end. But the celebration has to come
to an end, because you kind of got to come back down to earth.
And hey, you got to go to your job. That's what happened to
us. We got married and took a little wedding trip. And then, man,
it was right off to college. And I'm working and going to
college full time. And she's working and going to
college full time. And then you got other things
then. But in this marriage supper of
the Lamb, this is a situation that'll never end. This is everlasting
joy here. But there's another supper. And
listed, it's the last supper. Listed in the scriptures, it's
the last supper, and it's said to be the supper of the great
God. The supper of the great God.
A lot of things are said here. This angel, he's standing in
the sun. He cries over loud voice, he
cries to the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven. Here's the command, come and
gather yourselves unto the supper of the great God. That you may
eat the flesh of the kings and the flesh of captains and the
flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of them that sat
on them and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both
small and great. And I saw the beast and the kings
of the earth and their armies gathered together." Gathered
by who? Gathered by God. They're gathered
together to make war against him that sat on the horse and
against his army and the beast was taken. That's the pagan world
governments. That's who the beast is. The
beast represents pagan world governments, and with him the
false prophet. The false prophet that wrought
miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received
the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These
both were cast alive into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone.
The remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the
horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth, and all the
fowls were filled or gorged with their flesh." Now, we talked
about the first supper, and we said it's full of symbolism. So we don't take that bread to
literally be the body of Christ or the wine to be literally the
blood of Christ. We know it's a picture, right? And we know about this second
supper, we know this is a picture. It's just a picture of the joy
and the celebration that'll last forever. It'll never end. What
about that joy that'll never end? I tell you, our joy on earth,
it's off time, short lived. Well, we can be joyful and then
all of a sudden the phone rings and you get some news and your
joy is just shot. You know what I mean. That's
the way it is. In life, there's ups and downs.
There are times when we're happy and then we get some sad news
or we feel bad or we get sick or whatever it is and it's like
somebody pulls a rug out from under us. What about a joy that's
never ending? That sounds mighty good, doesn't
it? It'll never end. I mean, just
to look, to gaze into the lovely face of the Son of God, who loved
us and who gave himself for us, and to just be with him forever. You know, Ron read for us this
morning in John chapter 14, the Savior said, I go to prepare
a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place
for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that
where I am, there you may be also. What kind of place must
it be if it's the Son of God who's preparing it for us? That
must be some kind of place. I know he's talking about, first
of all, Calvary. Because we had no natural place
in heaven. The preparation is made at the
cross. That's where he settled the debt.
That's where he paid it in full. That's where the veil was rent.
Like the song that she played just before I read the scripture.
Lo, he is the mighty conqueror since he rent the veil in two. We know that. This is, there's a fly up here
that's bothering me. I don't know why they always
come up here. I guess it's because it's the hottest spot in the
auditorium, and I can attest to that. But anyway, anyway,
this is our Lord Jesus who's coming again. He said, I go and
prepare a place for you. And he said, I'm going to receive
you unto myself. We're going to be with him forever.
And I've already said, I don't know what we're going to be like. I don't know what heaven's going
to be like. There's so much. I was down visiting
Carol Lee. I was talking to her a couple
of weeks ago. And we were talking about the
subject of heaven. And she said, tell me what you
know about heaven. And I said, well, I don't know
too much. I only know what the scripture
says. And the scriptures don't say a lot about it. But I know
this, we'll be with Him. We'll be with Christ Jesus. And
we'll be with Him forever. And that's gonna be joy. That's
joy unspeakable. They'll never end. That's the
marriage supper. So there's lots of symbolism
and pictures in the marriage supper of the Lamb. And so it
is in this last supper, the supper of our great God. When it talks
about the angel standing in the sun and calling to the fowls
of heaven, please, please, don't try to take that literally. Just
like you don't try to literalize the bread and the wine being
the body and the flesh of our Lord Jesus. We know what it stands
for. We know that's a picture. That's what it pictures. The
body and blood of our Lord Jesus. But that's not what it is. It's
making a statement. That's what it is. It's making
a statement. And then in the marriage supper,
it's making another statement. It's talking about endless joy. And this one, the last supper,
it's also making a statement. The absolute devastation of all
of those who are opposed to King Jesus. I mean, they're going
to perish. and quickly. Now keep this in
mind. Let me see if I can help you
with this real quick. When you get to Revelation chapter
18, you've got the fall of Babylon, okay? And then you get into Revelation
chapter 19, then you have the marriage supper of the lamb. And then you have this great
supper, the last supper, which is the destruction of all of
those who are opposed to King Jesus. You get into the next
chapter, well, even before you finish this chapter, you've got
the end, the judgment of the beast, pagan world governments. And listen, don't put your confidence
in the governments of the world because they're pagan. I don't
care whether it doesn't matter whether it's Republican in office
or Democrat in office or what other country. They're pagan. They're all against God. That's
the thing we've always got to remember. And I don't care what
you are. You may be a Democrat, progressive,
Republican. You may be nothing. It don't
much matter to me. Because this is what I know.
I hadn't heard a one of them talk who knows the least thing
about the gospel of God's grace. Now that's just a fact. And I
know some of them have some ideas. We think, well, this sounds better
than that. But ultimately, they're all pagan. And they're all going to fall
into judgment. So that is listed. And then we
have in chapter 20, we have the fall of Satan, that's the dragon. We'll look at that in a couple
of weeks or so. The fall of the dragon, that's
the devil. And then we have the great white throne judgment.
And then after that, then John sees, he sees the new Jerusalem
coming down from heaven as a bride. Now, if you read that, if you
take that, and you say, okay, this is number one. This is the
first thing that's going to happen is the fall of Babylon. And the
second thing that's going to happen is going to be the marriage
supper of the Lamb. Third thing that's going to happen
is this great supper of our God. If you look at it like that,
you're going to get all messed up. I want you to think of it
this way. John, beginning in chapter 18,
he shows us the end. He shows us the end and he does
it in segments, not chronological order. It's like John, and I
would liken it this way, beginning with chapter 18 through chapter
20, even into chapter 21 as far as that goes, It's like a great
big pie. Think of this as being a pie. And he says, now here's the first
slice of the pie I'm going to show you. And he just kind of
pulls it out. Here's the destruction of Babylon.
That's going to happen in the end. And then he puts that piece
back in. And then he says, now here's
another piece of the pie. This is the marriage supper of
the Lamb. That's going to happen in the end. Then he puts that
back in the pie. And then he takes another piece
out and he says, now here's the great supper of our God. This
is when the Lord is going to devastate. He's going to destroy
all who are in opposition of Him. That includes the false
prophet and the beast. That's another piece of the pie.
He puts that back in. Then he pulls another piece of
the pie out. And then he says, now I'm going to show you the
destruction of the dragon. That's Satan. The old serpent. And that's what he goes into
in chapter 20. Then he puts that back in. Then he says, now let
me show you something else about what's going to happen in the
end. The great white throne judgment. And so he deals with that. And
then he puts that back in. And then he says, now let me
show you the new Jerusalem coming down from heaven. And so he goes
back and visits, he visits the bride. So you mustn't look at
this, and I was thinking about it today, I'm very fearful, and
there are some, and in trying to interpret the book of Revelation,
especially at the end, they take this as, okay, this is first,
okay, this first thing's gonna happen. This is the second thing's
gonna, no, it's all gonna happen quickly. It's all gonna happen
quickly, and it's just gonna be over. And when it talks about
here, the fowls come and gather yourselves under the supper of
the great God. This is language based out of
the Old Testament. This is Old Testament language.
Go back to Ezekiel chapter 39. I believe it's Ezekiel 39. Ezekiel chapter 39. And this
is not unusual language in the Old Testament. While you're turning
here, let me remind you of this passage. Remember when David
faces off against Goliath? Goliath said, I'm gonna give
your head to the fowls of the air. You know what he means by
that? I'm gonna whip you, this'll be
the end of you. And David said, you think so?
That's what I'm going to do to you. In other words, this is
going to be your end. As we would say, you come in
your waterloo. You see the last supper there,
that's Armageddon, really. That's Armageddon. It's the end,
the hill of slaughter. That's what Megiddo and Armageddon,
that's literally what it means, the hill of slaughter. And what
God is saying is, I'm going to slaughter, I'm going to judge
everybody who is in opposition to Me. And that's what He's going
to do. This is pictured very well here
in Ezekiel chapter 39. Look at verse 17. And thou son
of man, are you there? Ezekiel 39, 17. And thou son
of man, thus saith the Lord God, speak unto every feathered fowl
and every beast of the field. And this is what you tell them.
Assemble yourselves and come. Gather yourselves on every side
to my sacrifice, that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice
upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh and drink
blood. You shall eat the flesh of the
mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of
rams, of lambs, of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings
of Bashan. And you shall eat fat till you
be full. You'll drink blood till you be
drunken of my sacrifice, which I have sacrificed for you. Thus
you shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with
mighty men and with all men of war, saith the Lord God. and
I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen
shall see my judgment that I have executed in my hand that I have
laid upon them. And so the house of Israel, the
true Israel, the Israel of God, the Israel that God chose unto
salvation before the foundation of the world, that Christ Jesus
redeemed by His blood, and the Spirit called and taught them
the gospel by His grace, so the house of Israel, shall know that
I am the Lord their God from that day forward. I'm gonna bring
an end to all their enemies and all my enemies. And that's what's
coming to pass over here in Revelation chapter 19. It's the Last Supper. That is
the last one mentioned, the last one noted. Be sure of this, no
opposition against King Jesus will stand. It just can't happen. And that's why I admonish people. Surrender. Surrender to King
Jesus. You don't want to go to war against
Him. I know the Jesus that is typically
preached from the average pulpit in America. He's not one to be
feared, but I tell you, the Lord Jesus Christ is. And yes, He
has grace and He's full of compassion towards sinners like us. But
those who dare rebel against Him will find that He's a man
of war. He's a man of war. Moses and
the Israelites sang about that. The Lord is a man of war. I tell
you what, I don't want to meet a man of war who's almighty,
who has all power in heaven and earth to do anything he wants
to do. I don't want to meet a man of
war. I want to be on his side. And you know the amazing thing
about this They're in Revelation. Here's a total conquest. The
Lamb of God, the Son of God, that one who is the King of kings,
the Lord of lords, whose name is the Word of God, he's the
one that has the sword. We've read that. Terry read that
in that passage tonight. He's the only one with a sword. All of his followers, they're
also on white horses, but they don't have weapons. Because we
don't need weapons. He fights the battles for us. And we just enjoy the fact that
he's always victorious. He's the conqueror. And I tell
you, when we come back with him in glory, he's going to trample
his enemies under his feet. And if that's you, you're going
down. You're going down. And you don't
want that. We don't want that for our children
and our grandchildren. That's why we pray, Lord, deal
with them in mercy. Lord, save them by your grace.
If it please you, Lord, break their stubbornness, their heart. Give them a new heart. That's
what God's gotta do. Give them a new heart of faith
to embrace the Son of God. Lord, show them your beauty.
Show them your glories that they, just like us, might fall in love
with you. and long to be with you someday. That's the Last Supper. That's
the Last Supper listed in the Scriptures. Let's sing 215. Nor silver nor gold hath obtained
my redemption. No, silver and gold couldn't
do it. Just the blood of the Lord Jesus. Number 215, 215. This is our last song for the
night, of course. Let's stand together. Nor silver nor gold hath obtained
my redemption Nor riches of earth could have saved my poor soul
The blood of the cross is my only foundation The death of
my Savior now maketh me whole I am redeemed but not with silver
I am gone but not with gold, but with the price, the blood
of Jesus, precious price of love untold. Nor silver nor gold hath
obtained my soul,
