The nations around you that are still in existence will realize that I, God, rebuild ruins and replant empty waste places. I, GOD, said so, and I’ll do it.
REVELATION 7:9-10 (MSG)
I looked again. I saw a huge crowd, too huge to count. Everyone was there—all nations and tribes, all races and languages. And they were standing, dressed in white robes and waving palm branches, standing before the Throne and the Lamb and heartily singing:
Salvation to our God on his Throne!
Salvation to the Lamb!
THE ESSENCE
At some point, all the surviving people groups, the "nations", will find themselves in the presence of God, acknowledging his salvation.
DAILY FODDER
If reality is trending this direction, how should we respond now? Practically speaking?
PRAYER
Lamb of God, thank you for bringing the world together around your salvation. The nations all seem to be acting pretty crazy right now. Forgive me for doubting the future. Fill me with a renewed vision for what is to come. I want to allow it to shape the way that I do life now. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
