Revelation
7:9-11
…I beheld, and lo, a great multitude, which
no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues
stood before the throne with white robes, and psalms in their hands. And cried
with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which siteth upon the throne,
and unto the Lord.
John
continues his description of the heavenly scene which is comprised of an
innumerable of people from every nation, tongues, and kindreds worshipping the
God of our salvation dressed in white robes because their robes have been
washed in the blood of the Lamb Jesus Christ. What a glorious scene this will
be when all God's children get to heaven?
Jesus'
sacrificial death on the cross makes it possible for every believer to be
included in the "all nations" who will be worshipping God in the
scene John describes. Included in this number are the saints who have come
through the tribulation and maintained their faith in Jesus Christ.
Scripture
clearly states that one day all will bow before the Lord and confess that Yes
Jesus is the Son of God and He is Lord. What this means is that all who do not
accept Jesus as Lord will one day do so.
During
the "great tribulation" saints will suffer great persecution at the
hands of Satan. The battle will be between righteousness and wickedness. Satan
knows his time is limited before he is cast into the pit for ever and he trying
one last time to destroy as many of God's people as he can. Take heart he is a
defeated foe.
Stand
firm in our faith and one day we will be in that innumerable number.
