How Majestic is the Name…

Jesus Christ…
the Faithful Witness,
the Firstborn of the Dead, and
the Ruler of kings on earth.
Who loves us and
has freed us from our sins by His blood and
made us a kingdom,
priests to His God and Father

To Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of Him. Even so. Amen.


"I am the Alpha and the Omega,"
says the Lord God,
"Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty."”
Revelation 1:4-8 ESV

in the midst of the lampstands One like a son of man,
clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around His chest.
The hairs of His head were white,
like white wool, like snow.
His eyes were like a flame of fire,
His feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and
His voice was like the roar of many waters.
In His right hand He held seven stars,
from His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and
His face was like the sun shining in full strength.

When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as though dead.
But He laid his right hand on me, saying,

"Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and
behold I am alive forevermore, and
I have the keys of Death and Hades.”
Revelation 1:12-18 ESV


Nothing Left to Say But…

“And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say,

"Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
who was and is and is to come!"

And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who is seated on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever.

They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

"Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they existed and were created."”
Revelation 4:8-11 ESV


The Lion & the Lamb…

“Then I saw in the right hand of Him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice,

"Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?"

And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. 

And one of the elders said to me,

"Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David,
has conquered, so that He can open the scroll and its seven seals."

And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

And He went and took the scroll from the right hand of Him who was seated on the throne.

And when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the scroll and to open its seals, for You were slain, and by your blood You ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and You have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth."

Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice,

"Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive
power and wealth and wisdom and might and
honor and glory and blessing!"

And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,

"To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be
blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!"

And the four living creatures said, "Amen!" and the elders fell down and worshiped.”
Revelation 5:1-14 ESV


The Name of All Names…

“After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice,

"Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"

And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying,

"Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen."

For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their Shepherd, and He will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Revelation 7:9-12, 17 ESV

“And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.

And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.”
Revelation 12:10-11 ESV

“And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and amazing are Your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations! Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your Name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed."”
Revelation 15:3-4 ESV

“And I heard the angel in charge of the waters say, "Just are You, O Holy One, Who is and Who was, for You brought these judgments. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve!" And I heard the altar saying, "Yes, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are Your judgments!"”
Revelation 16:5-7 ESV

“They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them,
for He is Lord of lords and King of kings,
and those with Him are called and chosen and faithful."”
Revelation 17:14 ESV


Beholding You…

“Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse!

The One sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and
in righteousness He judges and makes war.
His eyes are like a flame of fire, and
on His head are many diadems, and
He has a name written that no one knows but Himself.
He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and
the Name by which He is called is The Word of God.

And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure,
were following Him on white horses.

From His mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and
He will rule them with a rod of iron.
He will tread the winepress of the fury
of the wrath of God the Almighty.
On His robe and on His thigh He has a name written,
King of kings and Lord of lords.”
Revelation 19:11-16 ESV

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,

"Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."

And He who was seated on the throne said,

"Behold, I am making all things new."

Also He said,

"Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."


The End is Written…

And He said to me,

"It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.
To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.”
Revelation 21:1-6 ESV


“And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.

And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it,
for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
By its light will the nations walk, and
the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and
its gates will never be shut by dayand
there will be no night there.
They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.”
Revelation 21:22-26 ESV

“No longer will there be anything accursed,
but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and
his servants will worship him.
They will see his face, and
His name will be on their foreheads.
And night will be no more.
They will need no light of lamp or sun,
for the Lord God will be their light, and
they will reign forever and ever

"Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me,
to repay each one for what he has done.
I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the first and the last,
the beginning and the end."

"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches.
I am the root and the descendant of David,
the bright morning star."

The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come."
And let the one who hears say, "Come."
And let the one who is thirsty come;
let the one who desires take the water of life without price.

He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon."

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.”
Revelation 22:3-5, 7, 12-13, 16-17, 20-21 ESV
