One day, O Glorious Day
Rev. 19
I want to speak to you about a day. A glorious day that is coming. What you will see in this is how God has the future all planned out, how he is in complete control and how we are safe in his arms.
A lot can happen in a day.
In a day, a hurricane can hit an area and destroy lives and homes and business.
In one day*
*Job lost all 10 children, his living, his health.
*a baby can be born and bring joy to an entire family.
*a person can pass and bring sadness and grief to family and friends.
I want to speak to you about a day, a day in the future, a day that is coming – a glorious day that the Lord wants us to know about-- that will comfort our hearts and strengthen our faith.
First of all, one day ---Jesus will Judge
The first time Jesus came, he came as a babe, born of a virgin, wrapped in swaddling clothes, he grew to be a man and they nailed him to a cross. He died a humiliating, horrible, shameful death.
The next time he comes he will come as King of kings and Lord of lords to judge and make war.
In John 5 Jesus says, “…the Father judges no one, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: And hath given him authority to execute judgment …”
In Rev. 19:11-16 we see when One day, O Glorious Day this will come to pass.
John says he saw something that will one day take place. He says he saw Jesus coming out of heaven riding a white horse. He said he is coming to judge and to make war.
He is coming to war against Satan and to judge sin. One day O Glorious Day -- Jesus will judge.
2. One day-- Satan will be sealed.
Right now Satan, --the devil, the deceiver and destroyer of lives and nations—is roaming the earth like a roaring lion
seeking whom he can destroy. But, --- one glorious day he will be sealed away to deceive and to destroy no more.
We see this in Rev. 20:1-3. John here tells us here how, one day Satan will be sealed away for 1,000 years that he should deceive the nations no more,, but look at the end of verse 3, he shall be let loose again.
Oh, --but we’re not finished reading. -- Look at v10. – one day, O glorious day, he will be sealed away again – this time -- in the lake of fire and brimstone … and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
This day, O glorious day, will be the last time this slimy, slippery, seductive, destructive serpent will rear his ugly head to deceive and to destroy anymore. Satan will be sealed.
3. One day--Sinners will be silenced.
Sinners since the beginning of time and increasingly more in these last days have cursed, blasphemed, and spoken all kinds of evil against God, God’s people and against all that is good and holy.
But there’s coming a day, I want to let you know, O glorious day in which sinners will be silenced forever.
We read about this day in Rev. 20:11-15, 21:8
This Great White Throne Judgement spoken of here is when all of unsaved throughout history will stand before God and be judged.
What will be their judgement? V15 One day O glorious day,, sinners will be silenced forever.
4. One day—the Saints will Shout.
Right now, in many countries around the world the saints are being persecuted, hated, scorned, and martyred, God’s heart is grieved, but one day O glorious day all the saints will shout.
Rev. 19 speaks of the marriage supper of Christ, and his bride the church. It says it will be a glorious day of feasting and rejoicing.
This day, comes after Jesus has judged, Satan has been sealed, and sinners have been silenced.
What will happen on this day? All the saints will be shouting.
What are we shouting? Rev 19:1-7 We are shouting amen, hallelujah Salvation, glory, honor, and power, unto the Lord our God. One day—the Saints will Shout.
5. One day—Righteousness will Reign.
One day, when the enemies of all that is good and holy are sealed and silenced ---righteousness will reign.
Rev. 16:5 says, “Thou art righteous, O Lord,” Rev. 19:2 says “true and righteous are your judgements.”
One day, O glorious day, when He who is righteous rules righteousness will rule. There will be no more law breakers, no more war, no more riots, no more murders and crime.
Isaiah tells us about this glorious day when he says, “And …they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.” 2:4 One day—O glorious day, Righteousness will Reign.
6. One day-- Peace will Prevail.
We live in a day of unrest and uncertainty. There’s coming a day O glorious day, when Peace will Prevail.
One day, the Prince of Peace will be present and peace will prevail.
The prophet Isaiah foretells this day when he says,“The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the goat. The calf, the young lion, and the fatling will be together, and a child will lead them.” 11:6
John speaks of the fulfillment of this day when peace prevails in Rev. 21 where he says, “Nothing will enter that is impure, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” V27
There’s coming a day O glorious day, when the Prince of Peace will rule and peace will prevail.
7. One day—Death will Die
There are107 deaths per minute, 6,390 per hour, 153,000 per day, 56 million per year, 3.9 billion in the last 70 years
We all have the germ of death in our bodies. One day we will all die if the Lord tarries.
But, one day, O glorious day death will die. 1 Cor. 15:26 says “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.”
One day the last person will die, and death will be no more. One day—Death will Die
8. One day—The Lake of Fire will be Full.
The lake of fire is filling up more and more each day. How- ever, it is not full, but one day it will be full. One day the last person will go to hell.
Do you know who that is? The bible tells us the last person who will be cast into the lake of fire.
Jesus said the “hell was prepared for the devil” the one for whom hell was prepared will be the last one to go there.
Rev 20:10
One day when the lake of fire is full, none will be added, none subtracted. It will be full.
9. One day--the last soul will be saved.
Peter says, The Lord is not slack in fulfilling His promise of coming back, but is longsuffering, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 2peter3:9
The reason why the Lord has not come back yet is because more souls are to be saved.
Aren't you glad he waited til you were saved before he came back? But one day, there is coming a day when—the last soul will be saved.
10. One day—all sickness, sadness, and sorrow will be stopped.
This ole world is filled with sickness, sadness, death, pain, but one day O glorious day it will all stop.
Rev. 21:4 John says there is coming a day when God will wipe all tears from our eyes and there will be No more sickness, no more sadness, no more sad good byes, no more sin, no more death, no more pain. One day—all sickness, sadness, and sorrow will be stopped.
11. One day—all things will be made new.
Rev. 21:…. V1 John saw a new heaven and a new earth. V2 he saw new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven. V5 he says the one who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.”
one day there will be an out with the old and in w/ the new.
12. One day—O glorious day, Heaven will be our home.
Jesus tells us in John 14,”in my father’s house are many mansions, I go and prepare a place for you and I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am you will be also.”
One day we will leave this world of sin, sickness, sorrow and death and we will dwell in a city whose builder and maker is God. What a day, O glorious day.
One day, O Glorious Day Jesus will Judge, Satan will be sealed. Sinners will be silenced. the Saints will Shout. Righteousness will Reign. Peace will Prevail. Death will Die, The Lake of Fire will be Full. the last soul will be saved. .all sickness, sadness, and sorrow will be stopped. All things will be made new.. Heaven will be our home.
God has it all planned out. We’re in good hands.
