Critically Think
- What kind of celebration is happening in this passage?
- Who is told to rejoice in this text?
- Why are these told to rejoice and be glad? What are the two reasons given in verse 7?
- Who are believers to give glory to? Why are they to do so according to this passage?
- How has the bride of Christ made herself ready?
- What is John commanded by the angel to ‘write ‘in verse 9?
- When does the Marriage Supper happen?
- Why is John told not to fall at the angel’s feet and worship?
Prayerfully Meditate
- What does the phrase ‘It was given to her’ suggest about how our righteousness is produced?
- Why are those called ‘blessed’ who are invited to the marriage supper?
- Who are the guests invited to the Marriage Supper? Support your answer.
- How does Christian marriage between one man and one woman relate to the marriage between Christ and His bride? How does this future prophecy shape human marriage today? See Ephesians 5:22-33.
- What reason is heaven given to respond in worship to the wrath of God from this text?
Intentionally Act
- How does this passage inform the shape of your own worship?
- How can you cultivate gratitude in light of this passage?
- How does this passage spur you toward evangelism?
- How does this passage speak to the seriousness of your marriage (or the marriages of those around you)? How can you work to protect the gospel portrait in your own marriage or the marriage of others in our church?
