Revelation #24

Moving on in Chapter 7!



Revelation 7:9-12



A Great Multitude from Every Nation

9After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" 11And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen."



John tells us in verse 9 He sees a great multitude that was uncountable! From all different races, tribes, tongues and languages standing before the throne and Jesus. Wow this is awesome! Is it possible that the 144,00 Jews have anything to do with reaching these saints with the gospel during the tribulation? These gentile believers are in white robes which represent purity and righteousness through Christ. They have palm branches in their hands which represent victory!!! They are crying out in a loud voice praise to God saying " Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" Oh what true words! God is so merciful to provide us with Salvation! In verse 11 we see the the angels standing around the throne with the elders and four living creatures and they fall their faces before the throne and worship God. I have a feeling all of us will be on our faces before God quite a bit in heaven. In verse 12 we see them saying to God seven qualities He has given us and we will praise them right back to Him! They are blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might. No doubt God will retain these for ever and ever. Amen!



Just a little glimpse of heaven this morning...does the soul good doesn't it????
