At the end of life, we can only praise God (19:1-6). We praise God for Who He is (19:1). We praise God for What He does (19:2). We praise God for His justice (19:3). Every saint in the Old Testament, every saint in the New Testament times, every angel praises God (19:4). Those on earth ought to praise Him in this life (19:5). Regardless of what happens on earth, God still reigns (19:6).
At the end of life, we have a feast to anticipate (19:7-10). The marriage of the Lamb and His bride, the church, will occur (19:7). The bride makes herself ready by obedience to His commands (19:8). We are recipients of divine favor in being invited to such a banquet (19:9). The essence of all prophecy is Jesus Christ, His church, and that great consummation of His promises (19:10).

He is the Word of God (19:13). He has an army at His disposal (19:14). He fights simply with the sword of His mouth (19:15). He is King of kings and Lord of lords (19:16).
At the end of life, we know that all the enemies of all Christians of all time will be punished for their rejection of Christ (19:17-21). In contrast to a marriage banquet, those who do not know God and do not obey the Gospel of Christ have only to anticipate feeding scavenging vultures with their bodies (19:17). No unbeliever or disobedient will be spared from this carnage (19:18). Men fight against God in vain (19:19). Every government entity that rails against Christ will be punished and every false religion and pseudo-Christianity will meet the same fate (19:20). All those who follow the government and false religion will be fed to the vultures (19:21).
At the end of life, we can look back and see that our time of trials and faithfulness was only a “ten-day” period (2:10) compared to the 1,000 years we will enjoy the presence of Christ (20:1-5).
At the end of life, having experienced the first resurrection, we will not experience a second death (20:6).
