9 a vast MULTITUDE which no one could count,
[gathered] FROM EVERY NATION and from all the TRIBES and PEOPLES and LANGUAGES [of
the earth], standing BEFORE THE THRONE and before THE LAMB (CHRIST), dressed in
white robes, with palm branches in their hands; 10 and in a
loud voice they cried out, saying, “SALVATION [BELONGS] TO OUR GOD who is
seated on the throne, and to the Lamb [our SALVATION IS THE TRINITY’S to GIVE,
and TO GOD THE TRINITY we owe our DELIVERANCE].”
14 …These are the people who COME
OUT of the great tribulation (persecution), and they have washed their robes
and made them white in the blood of the Lamb [because of HIS ATONING SACRIFICE].
15 For this reason, they
are [standing] BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD; and they serve HIM [in worship] day
and night in His temple; and HE who sits on THE THRONE will spread HIS TABERNACLE
over them and SHELTER and PROTECT them [with His presence].
16 They will hunger no
longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any
[scorching] heat; 17 for
THE LAMB WHO IS IN THE CENTER OF THE THRONE WILL BE THEIR SHEPHERD, and He will
guide them to springs of the waters of life; and GOD WILL WIPE EVERY TEAR FROM
THEIR EYES [giving them ETERNAL COMFORT].”
The principle that THE LORD wants us to
take from this is in regards to tribulations (not talking about the final
tribulation period) for a tribulation time itself is NOT an easy but a
difficult time. Times were it seems that the hustling is with people, things,
places and all our surroundings in general; and no peace at all around us.
Considering our lives, sometimes we go thru
difficult times, some deeper than others, but hard times are those. We all face tribulations and persecution some
more than others, but we all do. This
passage is an ASSURANCE FOR THOSE THAT REMAIN FAITHFUL THRU THESE PERILOUS
TIMES.
For those that remain faithful will have
their robes washed because of the blood of the Lamb. They will be standing before the throne of
God and will serve HIM day & night.
And THE LORD HIMSELF will be their shelter and protection. No more
hunger, or thirst, scorching heat for HE will guide them to where they need to
go, and will give us eternal comfort.
Be STRONG in THE LORD, seek HIS face,
DAILY! Feed your relationship with HIM, DAILY!!! Remain in HIM and HE will
remain in you, because truly, apart from HIM, nothing is possible! “5 I
am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears
much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union
with Me] you can do nothing. (John
15:5 AMP)
I’m praying THE LORD
gives you hunger for HIS word and HIS ways, and a willing spirit to follow HIM.
I’m praying that all distractions around you dissipate as you seek HIS presence
so your experiences with HIM will fill you up to the brim of the cup of your
heart, where you do not desire to walk on eggshells no more but in the victory
that only GOD can give, and I pray this in JESUS name and for HIS glory,
AMEN!!!
