Rev. 19:7
"Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready."

1. READINESS THROUGH UNITY

Isaiah 58:12
"And those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up the age-old foundations; And you will be called the repairer of the breach, The restorer of the streets in which to dwell.

As he draws the Church into this last day “mortar sling”, things such as gossip and faultfinding will disappear and be replaced with the essentials of the Kingdom such as intercession and love.

The raptured church will be one that is free of strife and carnal divisions.

2 Thess 2:1  Matt.24:31

Jeremiah 23:1-2 sends out a strong warning to the leaders who are building their own kingdom.
"Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!" declares the LORD.
2. Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel concerning the shepherds who are tending My people: "You have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not attended to them; behold, I am about to attend to you for the evil of your deeds," declares the LORD.

John 10:16 …there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

The passage we read earlier in Jeremiah 23 continues in verse 3-5 "I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number.
4 I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, (apostolic- to set order) and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing," declares the LORD.
5 "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land.

2. PROTECT YOUR HEART THROUGH WORSHIP

Worship is showing the worth of the object that is being worshipped.

John 4:23
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

In this last battle your life will be weighed upon the scale of worship; to whom will you bow?

The enemy has easy access to the soul that is not protected by true worship of God!

In warfare worship is a wall around the soul.


Romans 8:28a
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,

 2 Cor. 12:9-10
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

1 Peter 4:8-19 NIV
