Revelation 7:9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
This chapter begins with the 144,000 of the tribes of Israel, then beyond that this innumerable crowd gathered to worship the God the Father and the Lamb. When John inquires: "Who are they?", he is told that they are those who have come for shelter and provision under the care of the Lamb, who is also The Shepherd. They have been made white by being washed in the blood of the Lamb, finding forgiveness and salvation by trusting in Him. It is so life-changing that they give themselves to serve and worship Him. Will you be in that great crowd?
