At this point in the Revelation we encounter a vision that shifts our focus from God’s coming judgment upon Babylon and those who have aligned themselves with her, and great celebration that awaits for those who follow the Lamb. What we discover here is that a time of great joy awaits every disciple, no matter what suffering you might be experiencing now. We can look with hope to the future, inspired to remain faithful to the one who loves us and has given himself for us and to us.
