| − | At this point in the Divine Narrative,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><font size="4" color="#AA0000">"a great voice of much people in Heaven"</font><font size="4"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(19:1) signifies all mankind, who have been saved by the Blood of the Lamb, who have been resurrected or raptured after the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><font size="4" color="#AA0000">"mystery of God</font><font size="4"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>['concerning Christ and the Church' (Ephesians 5:32)]<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><font size="4" color="#AA0000">should be finished"</font><font size="4"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(Revelation 10:7), praising God in a Heavenly Scene around the Throne of God. What is the reason for this Great Noise in Heaven? A command has been echoed by God's creatures to praise and worship God, i.e.,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><font size="4" color="#AA0000">"Alleluia"</font><font size="4"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(19:1). In the Greek,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>allelouia</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>means Praise ye the LORD or Hallelujah. It comes from the Hebrew words<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>halal</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(praise) and<i>Yahh</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(Jehovah). Only four times does<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><font size="4" color="#AA0000">"Alleluia"</font><font size="4"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>occur in the New Testament. All four times are in this chapter (19:1, 3, 4, 6), and each time in preparation for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Worship does not merely state the obvious facts of Who God Is, but it enters into hearty agreement with God about the truth of those facts.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><font size="4" color="#AA0000">"Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the LORD our God"</font><font size="4"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(19:1). Because He has saved us, we glorify God, agreeing and declaring that glory, honour, and power rightfully belong to God<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><font size="4" color="#AA0000">"for His wonderful works to the children of men!"</font><font size="4"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(Psalm 107:31). This heartfelt praise comes because of the Almighty's magnificent judgment of the Great Whore (Revelation 18); further, the Glorified Saints must be excited because they are about to enter into their Marriage Supper with the Lamb (19:7-10). And, before the Beast and False Prophet face their final doom in the Lake of Fire (19:20), the ultimate conflict of all time, Armageddon (19:17-19), must be emblazoned on the consciousness of all Moral Beings.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><font size="4" color="#AA0000">"</font><font size="4">15<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><font size="4" color="#AA0000">And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:</font><font size="4"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>16<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><font size="4" color="#AA0000">But the LORD of Hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness"</font><font size="4"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(Isaiah 5:15-16).</font></p>

Notice also that the concept of the Rapture is most often taught with the passage from 1Thessalonians 4 where the Trumpet sounds, the Dead in Christ are resurrected, and the Living Saints are caught up into the clouds, i.e.,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><font size="4" color="#AA0000">"</font><font size="4">16<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><font size="4" color="#AA0000">For the LORD Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the Voice of the Archangel, and with the Trump of God: and the Dead in Christ shall rise first:</font><font size="4"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>17<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><font size="4" color="#AA0000">Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the LORD in the air: and so shall we ever be with the LORD"</font><font size="4"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(1Thessalonians 4:16-17).
