Revelations A Study.Section 6. Chapter 7:9 thru 7:17 The tribulation Saints. Rev 7:9 After this 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, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
which no man could number This phrase doesnt designate a number that is unnumeriable but a number that man cannot count., This next phrase is stateing that many of the religions of today that state that they are the only ones going to Heavan because of some tradition or name on the church house door are wrong. These words are showing the total diversity of Gods Kingdom and its Children. all nations, kindreds, people and tongues. These verses are self explanitory. But also notice their crys, there are 7. Rev 7:10-7:12 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Rev 7:11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
Rev 7:12 Saying, ...
... Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
Rev 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
Rev 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest.; [In these verses the angel that is explaining all these things to John, know that John couldnt know whom they were because this is future prophecy that John could not see.] And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. The key word here is Great Tribulation. The Great Tribulation that is spoken of here, is the time of the 7 years of the rull of antichrist. Remember that the antichrist and Satan are 2 different people. We will get into greater deatil in later sections.
Rev 7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
Rev 7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
Rev 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. The Great Tribulation Saints are seperated from the others because of their resistance of the antichristian rule and are awarded a special place and duty to God for all eternity. Key words; before the throne of God, serve him day and night in his temple, God shall dwell among them.
