Revelation 19
Rejoicing in Heaven
After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out,
“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
2 for his judgments are true and just;
for he has judged the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her immorality,
and has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”[a]
3 Once more they cried out,
“Hallelujah!
The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.”
4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” 5 And from the throne came a voice saying,
“Praise our God,
all you his servants,
you who fear him,
small and great.”
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb
6 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.
7 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;
8 it was granted her to clothe herself
with fine linen, bright and pure”—
for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
9 And the angel said[b] to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” 10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant[c] with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
The Rider on a White Horse
11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in[d] blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of God, 18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave,[e] both small and great.” 19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence[f] had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

"Unto an administration of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in Him." Ephesians 1:10 (ASV)
God's economy is His administration, or the working out of His plan from eternity past through time into eternity future. This administration overarches the history of humanity according to the divine will in this universe. Within this administration there are various periods of time, commonly referred to as "dispensations." Thus, dispensation is an aspect of the word "economy." This is seen in Ephesians 1:10, where "economy," or administration, is related to "the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ." This shows that God's administration embraces time periods. In this qualified sense, administration or economy is understood as "dispensation" when it refers to a time period or a stage within the overall carrying out of God's administration.
Economy, stewardship, administration, and dispensation are all translations of the same Greek word, oikonomia. This word has a compound meaning, including the word law and the word house. It may be understood as "the law of the house." These root meanings have evolved into the idea of the management of a household. Thus, God's economy is His management of the universe. This is the economy of God. He has a plan and a purpose. He is governed by His own purpose. He created this universe to administrate His purpose. Everything that frustrates God's purpose, He is dealing with according to His own management, to bring it into line to match His purpose. Thus, it is not a small matter to experience Christ and let Him occupy our soul. This kind of experience is dispensational in nature. It is related to God's over- all administration. To live with our soul- life dependent on God, and not seek to save it or love it, is to correspond with God at this time in history. By this we cooperate with His administration for the specific purpose of ushering in the kingdom age.
