啟示錄 7:9-12
9 此後， 我觀看， 見有許多的人， 沒有人能數過來， 是從各國、 各族、 各民、 各方來的， 站在寶座和羔羊面前， 身穿白衣， 手拿棕樹枝， 10 大聲喊著說： 願救恩歸與坐在寶座上我們的神， 也歸與羔羊！ 11 眾天使都站在寶座和眾長老並四活物的周圍， 在寶座前， 面伏於地， 敬拜神， 12 說： 阿們！ 頌讚、 榮耀、 智慧、 感謝、 尊貴、 權柄、 大力都歸與我們的神， 直到永永遠遠。阿們！
Revelation 7:9-12
9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen.”
Wow! Can you imagine the sight? Does it give you hope? One day all will come before the Lord and praise Him, as He rightly should be praised. All will know that He is Lord, and none other.
Today we often experience the opposite. People around us mock our Lord and despise us children of God. But, everything we do in His name will not be in vain. One day as Revelation proclaims, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, will come and stand before the throne, giving thanks and praise. So let us not lose hope. His gospel shall be salvation unto many!
So let start early and give Him thanks today. For He is worthy! Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb! We the children of God shall give Him thanks, forever and ever. Amen!
