Revelation 19:9 And he said to me, Write, Blessed are they which are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me… I. THE THEME OR BURDEN OF THE BIBLE IS JESUS. Not philosophy, nor science, nor theology, nor metaphysics, nor morality, but Jesus. II. THE THEME OF BIBLE-ANNALS IS JESUS. Not mere history, but history as containing Jesus. Not the mere rise and fall of nations and kingdoms, but these as connected with the promised seed of the woman. III. THE THEME OF THE PSALMS IS JESUS. It is not mere poetry, Hebrew poetry, that we find in them, but Jesus. It is poetry embodying Jesus; it is praise, of which every note is Immanuel. IV. THE THEME OF PROPHECY IS JESUS. It is not certain future events, dark or bright, presented to the view of the curious and speculative; it is Jesus; earthly events and hopes and fears only as linked with Him. (H. Bonar, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. |
