A Multitude from the Tribulation

Revelation 7:9-17 says,

9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands;

10 and they cry out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation to our Elohim 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 Elohim,

12 saying, “Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our Elohim forever and ever. Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?” [The white robes tie into Revelation 19:7-8 where the white fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints]

14 I said to him, “My Adonai, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 For this reason, they are before the throne of Elohim; and they serve Him day and night in His  temple; and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them.

16  They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any heat;

17 for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the  water of life [Back to the Garden]; and Elohim will wipe every tear from their eyes.”

Revelation 22:14 says, “Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.” The New King James Version, as well as others, translate Revelation 22:14 to say, “Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.” If we focus on the literal form of the robes rather than the function, we will miss the message.  Washed robes are made white for those who have repented of their sins through the shed blood of Yeshua.  What is sin? Transgression of the law/Torah. 1 John 3:4. Therefore, wash their robes and do His commandments/Torah are synonymous terms.

The Spirit of Wisdom is eternal because YHVH and Yeshua are eternal and they are the personification of wisdom!!  Because of that, we see it at the end of time, after the tribulation, when ascribing worship to our great Elohim!!

Have a blessed and shalom filled day!!
