Scripture
“The Lamb on the throne will be their Shepherd
He will lead them to springs of life-giving water
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Observation
A vast crowd from every tribe and people stands before the throne clothed in white. With a great roar, they shout praises to God.

The angels and elders and living beings also sing praise to God.

One of the elders tells John that the people clothed in white are those who have come through the great tribulation, allowing Jesus to wash their robes.

Application
God's kingdom is huge- far beyond our comprehension. There are people from every tribe and nation, people and language worshipping before the throne.

Sometimes christians can feel alone, in the minority. But here we see that there is a vast crowd of believers who stand firm in their walk with Jesus despite great suffering.

In the end we win! Never again will be suffer hunger or thirst or loss of any kind.

Prayer
Father I thank you that you will reverse all the sin and evil in the world to bring your followers to a place of total rest in your presence. Amen.
