These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb

Revelation 7:9-17

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. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

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 worshiped God, saying:

“Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”

These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 

Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat.

For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’

Christians are not promised a trouble-free life on earth. But they will come through their struggles to the permanently trouble-free life of heaven.

Why?

The great multitude is the people who were suffering in the world for the Lord's name. And they are wearing white robes. They are never again hunger, thirst, not any scorching heat. For the Lamb will be their shepherd forever.

God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. This is the feature in heaven, so do not be afraid, our hope is in the Lord, and the Lamb.

在神還沒有保護前，神不允許災難臨到他的兒女，所以要做記號，免去這災。12支派人數相同，表示沒有偏好那個支派。因為在天上沒有聖俗的區別，所以利未進來了。但支派沒有算進來，不要做過多的解釋。12是人的數字12X12是人乘上人，代表完整的人。

無論第六章的災難有多大，但是許多被神做記號的人可以留存。讓我們把希望放在天上。

How?

To be a Christian and follow the word of the Lord will have a wonderful destination in heaven.
