Revelation 7:9,10 After this I looked, and there was a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language, which no one could number, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were robed in white with palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: Salvation belongs to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!
In today's passage we read that there appeared in heaven a vast or great multitude of people from everywhere around the world. And they had palm branches in their hand. At that time palm branches were used in celebration like we would use cell phone lights at a concert. They were also dressed in white robes which Revelation 19:8 tells us, "It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints." Once again we are reminded, what do we have that we have not been given. The white robes in our passage are the righteous acts of the saints, but remember Jesus said, "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides (remains connected to) in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing" John 15:5 In the end all glory goes to God even as this same multitude cries out later, “Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are Your ways, King of the nations! “Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy; For all the nations will come and worship before You, For Your righteous acts have been revealed.” Revelation 15:3,4 We don't have to wait until we get to heaven to praise the Lord for what He has done, we can now. Salvation is from the Lord, take a moment to thank Him now for what you have seen Him do in and through you. Listen to His voice and follow Him in all that you do. This will just give us greater reason to praise Him in the end. Have a great day Loved Ones and God bless you real good!
