Because we have been cloth in righteous Who paid the price to make it "fair" and just? Jesus paid the price to make it “fair” and just

Day 17 Meditation (Revelation 19:6-9). If now we are "betrothed" to the Lamb (to use this analogy), why is the "marriage" delayed until the End of Time? The marriage will take place when Jesus return. It’s delayed because the Antichrist and False Prophets, the wars and judgments the of the fallen world, and also the final defeat of Satan’s forces must be dealt with before the Marriage What does the state of being married imply that betrothal does not?

Jesus has already won the battle, and now Paul reminds Timothy the prophecies made about him and us today so we will be motivated to fight the good fight.

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (NKJV) Are you aggressive like the Conquering Lamb, or do you shy away from conflict with the enemy? I am not as aggressive as Christ, however, I don’t feel I shy away from conflict with the enemy. The scripture says, “ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

Why do you think the sound of voices accompanied by instruments is pleasing to God? It’s pleasing to God because the worship song celebrates God’s great character and awe-inspiring works, which is just and true. “Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, the Almighty.

Day 9 Meditation (Revelation 7:13-14). Why do you think this image is so jarring -- being made white by washing in blood? Being made white by washing in blood is impossible for mankind, but with God nothing is impossible.
