啟示錄19:1-5

19:1 此後，我聽見好像群眾在天上大聲說：哈利路亞（就是要讚美耶和華的意思）！救恩、榮耀、權能都屬乎我們的上帝！

19:2 他的判斷是真實公義的；因他判斷了那用淫行敗壞世界的大淫婦，並且向淫婦討流僕人血的罪，給他們伸冤。

19:3 又說：哈利路亞！燒淫婦的煙往上冒，直到永永遠遠。

19:4 那二十四位長老與四活物就俯伏敬拜坐寶座的上帝，說：阿們！哈利路亞！

19:5 有聲音從寶座出來說：上帝的眾僕人哪，凡敬畏他的，無論大小，都要讚美我們的上帝！

After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out,

"Hallelujah!

 Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

for his judgments are true and just;

for he has judged the great prostitute

who corrupted the earth with her immorality,

and has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

Once more they cried out,

"Hallelujah!

 The smoke from her goes up forever and ever."

And the twenty- four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!" And from the throne came a voice saying,

 "Praise our God,

all you his servants,

 you who fear him,

small and great."

    我們敬拜是因我們參與在基督得勝行列，而基督確確實實已經得勝了！祂勝過了罪與死，也是過一切反對上帝的勢力，最終上帝必定得勝，一切蒙恩得救的人，都要一同來讚美上帝！

    其實讚美上帝，是我們蒙上帝恩典之人必定有的反應，上帝的確是勝過一切惡勢力，使我們得著永遠的救贖！
