“Salvation belongs to our God. It doesn’t belong to us. It belongs to Him. It is His choice to save any one of us.”

– Pastor Bob Page

This weekend, we studied Revelation 7:9–17, “The Great Multitude.” After seeing the 144,000 sealed on earth, John now looks into heaven and beholds a countless multitude gathered before the throne. This breathtaking vision reveals the triumph of God’s redeemed people, the victory of the Lamb, and the eternal hope awaiting all who belong to Christ.

Key Takeaways

I. The Multitude Before the Throne — Every Nation, Every Tribe (vv. 9–10)
John sees a vast multitude that no one can number, gathered from every nation, tribe, people, and language.

II. Standing Before the Lamb — Righteousness Given, Not Earned (vv. 9–10)
The redeemed are standing before the throne clothed in white robes with palm branches in their hands.

III. Salvation Belongs to God Alone (vv. 10–12)
The cry of heaven is clear: “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” .

IV. Washed in the Blood of the Lamb (vv. 13–14)
The elder explains that this multitude has come out of great tribulation and has washed their robes white in the blood of the Lamb.

V. The Lamb Shepherds His People Forever (vv. 15–17)
The passage closes with incredible promises for God’s people: no more hunger, thirst, scorching heat, or tears.
