“Then [the angel] said to me, Write this down: Blessed (happy, to be envied) are those who are summoned (invited, called) to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me [further], These are the true words (the genuine and exact declarations) of God. Then I fell prostrate at his feet to worship (to pay divine honors) to him, but he [restrained me] and said, Refrain! [You must not do that!] I am [only] another servant with you and your brethren who have [accepted and hold] the testimony borne by Jesus. Worship God! For the substance (essence) of the truth revealed by Jesus is the spirit of all prophecy [the vital breath, the inspiration of all inspired preaching and interpretation of the divine will and purpose, including both mine and yours].” Revelation 19:9-10 ->me: ‘Blessed are those who are summoned’ – this phrase just rings over and over in my head. You are blessed when you are called because you are given access to Jesus (John 6:65). Jesus then gives us access to the Father through the shed blood of His Son. Then when John falls at the feet of the angel (big no no) the angel corrects him – Worship God alone! The meat of the truth spoken by Jesus is the undertow of all prophesy. So, when we listen to the call of the Father and follow His Son we are in the divine plan of God.
