A Change in Government

Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
September6, 2022: SOAP #4660: Ezekiel 29-32; Revelation 11

SCRIPTURE:  Revelation (NIV) 11:15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.”16 And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshipped God, 17 saying: “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. 18 The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great—and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”

OBSERVATION:  It is something to celebrate!!  There was a change in government.  The kingdom of the world has come under the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ!  This will be the ultimate change for the world.  It begins a time of judging evil.  It begins a time of rewarding the righteous. 

It is something to celebrate!  It is the last change!  He will reign “forever and ever!” 

APPLICATION: When the government of the world is replaced with the government of God, it is always something to celebrate.  Luke 15:7 tells us there is even rejoicing in heaven when the ruling kingdom of this world is replaced by a new KING! –when ONE sinner repents! 

PRAYER:    Lord, what a day!  What a celebration!  What an appropriate time for worship!  –a day when you are given your rightful place as LORD of all!  Amen
