THE GREAT MULTITUDE

 

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.”

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, Saying:

“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 the 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.

12 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.”

(Revelation 7:9-12, NIV)
