Morning Bible Study: Revelation 7:9-12

The White-Robed Multitude
9  After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands. 

10  And they were shouting with a great roar, "Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!" 

11  And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living beings. And they fell before the throne with their faces to the ground and worshiped God. 

12  They sang, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength belong to our God forever and ever! Amen.”  NLT

"Verse 9 The 144 000 had received the mark of God. Then John looked and saw a vast crowd. This crowd stood in front of the throne. The crowd was as far as the eye could see. There were so many people that nobody could count them.

These people were from all over the world. They came from every nation. They were God’s people. At that time, they were in heaven.

By faith in Jesus Christ, these people had received new life. The Lord had made them perfect with his own goodness. He gave them white clothes to wear. These white clothes meant that they were holy. And they were free from sin.

They had palm branches in their hands. The people used to wave palm branches at their parties. They did this when they were happy. Here, they waved the palms in order to praise the Lamb.

Verse 10 The whole crowd cried out together to praise God and the Lamb. They had all received salvation from God. God had saved them. This salvation was because of Jesus Christ. Salvation belonged to God and to the Lamb. So, the crowd shouted their praise to God and to the Lamb.

Verse 11 There were millions of angels with the crowd. There were the four creatures and the 24 elders. The crowd praised God. The four creatures and the 24 elders fell down and they too praised God.

Verse 12 They praised God. They cried out seven things about God. All of these belong to our God. The list started and finished with amen. The amens insist that these things are true.

God deserves all praise. Glory is his greatness, which shines like a bright light. He knows everything and he has all wisdom. We should thank God always for all that he has done for us. He is over all and he deserves honor from all. He is the God of all power. By his strength, he has made all things. He has overcome all that was against us."
