Being called, Chosen, and Faithful

Main verse: Revelation 17:14
Lamb is the King of kings and Lord of lords. He was the chief, who has put all enemies under His feet. Therefore, those who, together with the Lamb will win. As a victorious king, He can hold his defense and as Mr. rich, he could hold for our maintenance.

Those who wage war against the Lamb is the antichrist, who is described as a beast with seven heads and ten horns. A woman riding the beast, that is Babylon. Babel is a woman who would become chief. He ruled over the kings of the earth (Revelation 17:18), enthroned like a queen - the king of women, and claimed instead widow (article 18:7). Babylon was like a rich lord of lords or merchants who have access to trade goods and become rich because of him (verses 11-15). But that is only temporary, because in time the kings of the earth, which will only rule one hour duration (art. 17:12) and have committed lewd with Babylon will weep and wail, see the smoke of her burning (article 18:9) . While the wealthy gentlemen, in one hour you will be exhausted riches perish (verse 10, 16). Jesus, the Lamb, as King of kings and Lord of Lords, had beaten them (paragraph 2).

Revelation 19:6-9 is a celebration of the victory of the Lamb and He is revealed as the king, namely the marriage supper of the Lamb. His wealth is in chapter 21:9-12, 19-21, proving that he is Lord of lords. If we always put him as chief and later became his bride, then we will enjoy all that is owned by the Lamb. For that, we should be called, chosen, and faithful.
As the called, the Lord has called us by name (Isaiah 43:1-2). Therefore, we should be sensitive to His voice calls and also the voice of His Word (Deuteronomy 4:12, 36; 11:13-15), evidenced by our coming to worship Him. Then God will bless us with rain early and late rain, bless wheat, wine, and our oil.
  
As we know, something that is chosen is the best. God also asks us to present something that is best for him, do not there is a defect. In Deuteronomy 33:13-17, Joseph as the shadow of God's bride, get all the best blessings from God. Physically, he is the best, or especially among his brothers. Her life was always accompanied by good deeds. For example, he does not hold grudges against his brothers acts of evil against him, but during a famine that he actually helped them. As the choice of God, we must do better, like the Lord has done its best for us.

Faithful is to stay in all the problems and struggles. Gave us not only believe in Christ, but also suffer for Him (Philippians 1:29-30, 2 Timothy 3:12-14). For example, Job was a man who remained faithful to God, even if have to experience suffering that is so heavy (James 5:10-11). And in the end become the blessed Job, until doubled. This is proof of victory. 

By being the called, chosen, and faithful, the victory of the Lamb as Head can we feel, in his defense and maintenance. All praise is for Jesus, the Bridegroom of Heaven, King of kings and Lord of all hosts. Hallelujah!
