Scripture

Revelation 7

9 After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands. 10 And they were shouting with a mighty shout,

“Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne
and from the Lamb!”

11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living beings. And they fell before the throne with their faces to the ground and worshiped God.

12 They sang,


“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honor
and power and strength belong to our God
forever and ever! Amen.”

Observation

Heaven will be filled with people from everywhere, not just Baptist, not just white people, not just English speakers, no Heaven will have people from every nation and tribe and people and language!

I joke with people and tell that that they better learn Spanish because when we get to Heaven that is the language that we will be speaking! No, I am sure that it will be a Heavenly language and I am pretty sure that it will not be English!

The Great Commission tells us to take the Gospel to the entire world no matter what color, language, or even what kind of government whether hostile or friendly that the people have.

Application

I will look for someone from another nation to share Jesus with!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, you do love variety. Everyone is so different and so unique. I pray that I would look at those differences as something special and not something to look down on. I pray that you help me to love everyone and not just the folks that happen to be more like me. Thank you for our academy that does such a great job of bringing the peoples of this world under the influence of your Word. Thank you for controlling the hurricane and for protecting New Orleans from what could have happened. Storms are a display of Your Power and I know that You can turn them and change them in anyway You desire. Thank you for hearing the prayers of Your people and for sparing that city this time. In Jesus Name Amen.
