The visions of Revelation 7 recount the conversions of 140,000 and the innumerable Gentile host in heaven. Both constitute the people of God, and God provides and protects his people throughout these visions. Both visions demonstrate the provision of salvation for God's people. As the case has been, is now and will be in the future - God provides and protects his people. You can confidently rest in the protection and provision of our Savior, the Lamb. In response, worship him – he is worthy!
The Revelation of Jesus Christ is written to further our understanding about Jesus. It demonstrates throughout his majesty, power and authority over the events and affairs of mankind. The Revelation of Jesus Christ demonstrates that ultimately – Jesus wins and because he does, we can and must trust him. No matter what comes into our lives, we can and must confidently and faithful rest in the ability of our God and Savior to work in our lives and in the world he has created. Jesus is worthy and “to him be glory and power forever and ever.” As John concludes, he quotes Jesus, “I am coming soon.” John responds, as every believer can and should – Come, Lord Jesus!
