  For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth

  And he shall reign forever and ever (And he shall reign)

  King of Kings forever and ever

Scripture

“Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle. Their number is like the sand of the sea.”

— Revelation 20:6-8 (CSB)

Other Scripture reading:

Revelation 19, 1 Corinthians 15:20-28

Discussion Questions

1. What does the word hallelujah mean to you?

2. Why should God’s omnipotent (all-powerful) reign give you hope?

3. Are you making the most of every moment in expectation of Christ’s fulfilled promise? Why or why not?
