SCRIPTURE: Revelation (NIV) 7:9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no-one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
OBSERVATION: What started as a promise to one man, Abraham, in Genesis 12, here reaches the whole world. What started as one nation, Israel, here reaches “every nation.” What started with one man looking at the stars which could not be counted, here ends with a great multitude looking at the Lamb, the central character in all of history!
APPLICATION: As I consider the state, the nation, and the world in which I live, I see everything as moving toward closure.
For many years, Noah worked on the ark. Slowly, day by day, it took shape and became seaworthy; then one day it all happened. God’s promised judgment came to the earth.
The signs of our Lord’s return have moved from yearly to monthly, from monthly to weekly, and soon from weekly to daily.
Many people are spiritually blind and spiritually deaf. They do not have a clue about what is about to happen. But “there is coming a day!” …and “what a day that will be!”
PRAYER: Lord, there will be SOAP readers from many “nations, tribes, peoples, and languages” in that great multitude. We will lift our voices in worship! Surely in eternity, we will have opportunity to meet and share our testimonies. Lord, use these SOAPs to encourage those who read them. Lord, build our faith and prepare us for that great gathering. Amen
