Lesson 7: The Future of His Will
 "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.’ Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, ‘Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.’" (Revelation 19:4-6).
 
III. Prophetic. Lastly, we turn to the prophetic book of the Revelation. Of this there are many interpretations, but there are points of perfect agreement. To one of these we now come through our verses above. Differences of opinion exist as to the methods by which that glorious completion is to be reached, but we all believe the time is coming when the Lord God Omnipotent shall reign and His Will be done. "Amen; Hallelujah." These words reveal the source of the blessedness of that glad day. God on the throne, and humanity saying "Amen " in consent, and "Hallelujah " in praise.
 
We started this study in the Psalms. Let us return there for a moment now. " Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name and glory in Your praise. Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, ‘Amen!’ Praise the LORD!" (Psalm 106:47-48). Now read again the song of the Revelation, "And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, ‘Amen. Hallelujah!’" (Revelation 19:4). Ransomed and redeemed humanity saying " Amen" — so be it, to the Will of God; and after the Amen, "Hallelujah" — praise the Lord.
 

That is the fulfillment. The Old prays for it; the New predicts and prepares for it. We may dream dreams of its splendor, but no dream can contain the reality; it is too great. Humanity, in every beating pulse, every fiber of its being, every drawing breath, saying "Amen" to the Will of God, "Hallelujah" to His government.
 
Thus Old and New, the one Bible, declares that God’s Will is the only law of human life that satisfies His heart and ensures the well-being of man. This very fact is that which gives supreme importance to Holy Scriptures, and should condition all attempts to study it. To treat the Bible, however, merely as literature, or to read it with a view to formulating certain systems of belief, is to fail to realize its highest value, or to touch its deepest significance.
 
In its every page there is unfolded something 'of His order, method, and purpose in the government of man’. While the Chronicles reveal the faults and failures of sinning men, all through there moves the Spirit of God, revealing the fact of His Kingship; and in every message of Psalmist, Seer, or Prophet, there is the unmistakable call to loyalty and obedience.
 
It is only as this is remembered, and the study of the Book is approached with sincere desire to discover the purpose of God in human life, and the laws which make that purpose possible of realization, that the Book answers its highest intention.
 
Question: Where do we find the only law that declares the Will of God and satisfies the heart of God and ensures the well-being of man?
