Revelation 7:9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”
11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”
13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”
14 I answered, “Sir, you know.”
And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore,
“they are before the throne of God
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne
will shelter them with his presence.
16 ‘Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,’
nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will be their shepherd;
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’
‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne
will shelter them with his presence.
16 ‘Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,’
nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will be their shepherd;
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’
‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
According to the footnotes.... I Isaiah 49:10 and Isaiah 25:8 are important when considering the "white robes".Isaiah 49:10 They will neither hunger nor thirst,
nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them.
He who has compassion on them will guide them
and lead them beside springs of water.
Isaiah 25:8 he will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears
from all faces;
he will remove his people’s disgrace
from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.
Day before yesterday.... we read about the earthquake that is headed our way.Yesterday... we read about the sealing of 144,000 descendants of Jacob... the one God called "Israel" instead of "Jacob".
A few days ago .... we read about others in white robes... and they were crying for some help.... they were under the altar asking "How much longer?"
So.... now there are more white robes than anyone can count! These humans are like the ones under the altar... they gave their lives for the Lord during the "tribulation". They are wearing white robes because the robes they wore were torn and bloodied by life's "tribulation".
So.... after the earthquake comes the "tribulation" or is the earthquake the "tribulation"?
I don't think the people in Chapter 7 are battle worn. I think they are earth worn..... they were there for the earthquake.... but they didn't see Jesus return.... and they didn't fight beside Him. These are the dead from the first six seals Jesus popped on that scroll.
Now there are so many people in Heaven.... that no one can count them all. These are the souls that got loose during the first six seals.
So... everyone is here now.... all the victims who were given a second chance are among the white robed humans in Heaven.
Now it's time. Well almost.... Jesus has the seventh deadly seal to pop.
Meanwhile... the white robed humans in Heaven.... are happy....there are no more tears or anxiety. They are safe.
These are the Refugees of Biblical Proportion.
