Revelation 7:9-12 NIV
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 before 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.” [11] All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshipped God, [12] saying: “Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honour and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”
After yesterday’s scene of worship, a scroll is revealed that contains God’s plan for his creation. It is sealed – 7 seals to show it is divine, perfect and complete. Alas, no one is worthy enough to open it – no one that is except Jesus who appears as a lamb who is slain, the one who who sacrificed himself for us. He and only he is able to open the scroll and bring about God’s salvation plan, his plan to restore his broken world. Once more, worship ensues, from the great multitude, recipients of his faithfulness and grace.
Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honour and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. He has not deserted us or his creation. Amen!
