Scripture: Revelation 7
SHOW NOTES:
In Revelation 5, a mighty angel loudly proclaims, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open this scroll?” John says he wept because no one was found worthy to open the scroll. Then, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, the Lamb, takes the scroll from the right hand of Him who sits on the throne.
At the end of chapter 6, the sixth seal is opened, and people on earth try to hide from God (see Revelation 6:15-17). Chapter 7 of Revelation begins with God sending four angels to hold back the winds of judgment until His own are sealed and protected.
After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.
Revelation 7:1
As the chapter ends, John sees a vast multitude from all nations and cultures standing before God’s throne, clothed in white robes. They are identified by the angel as those “who have come out of the great tribulation” (verse 14). The angels are gathered around the throne, while the elders and the four living creatures fall face down before God and worship Him. What a beautiful worship scene!
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. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and He will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
– Revelation 7:15-17
The Lamb will shepherd His people and lead them to living water. Every sorrowful memory of pain and suffering will be taken away by the Heavenly Father.
Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen!
– Revelation 7:12
