One of the contradictions of hearing loss is that most noises sound better with hearing aids, but some noises become irritating when they are amplified. High pitched noises are difficult for me to bear, while low pitch voices are often unheard. I haven’t been able to solve this contradiction yet, so I just try to avoid circumstances where the sounds might be annoying and attend where the noises are pleasant. Unfortunately, I miss out on many good things this way.
However, there is one celebration that I won’t miss and can’t wait for it to happen. A great noise will erupt, but I will be healed of hearing loss and will exult in the celebration. Revelation 19:6-7 says, “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. Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready.”
The apostle John thus described the return of Jesus Christ to bring all believers to Himself. We will join the greatest celebration that has ever happened as we are presented to Jesus as His bride. In response we will lift up mighty praises to the Almighty God and rejoice forevermore. You won’t want to miss this celebration, so give your life to Jesus Christ today and trust Him as your Savior and Lord.
