My Sheep Hear My Voice

My Sheep Hear My Voice

Before Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray, something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions for you.

Revelation Chapter 7

A Great Multitude from Every Nation

(Parenthetical, Rev. 7:1-17)

“And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” (Rev. 7:14).

I said unto him... When John indicated that he did not know the answer (Rev. 7:14) the elder himself answered the question as to who this multitude was and where they came from.

great tribulation... They come out of the great tribulation, hence we call them the tribulation saints (note, Rev. 4:4). Literally in Greek: "the tribulation, the great," referring to the last 3 1/2 years of Daniel’s 70th week (Mat. 24:15-22; Dan. 12:1; Jer. 30:6-9). All the events of Rev. 11:15-19:21 take place during this time.

These people didn't go with the raptured church, since they were not yet saved. During the 7 year period, they will be saved, martyred and enter heaven. Though it is a time of unparalleled judgment, it is also a time of unparalleled grace in salvation (compare Matt. 24:12-14).

washed their robes... The door of mercy will never be closed to Jews or Gentiles, for whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Act. 2:16-21; Rom. 1:16; 10:9-17; 1Co. 6:11; 1 Jhn. 1:7; Rev. 1:5; 12:17; 22:17).

Salvation's cleansing is in view (see Titus 2:11-14).

Blood of the Lamb... This refers to the atoning sacrifice of Christ (compare 1:5; 5:9; Rom. 3:24-25; 5:9).

You see, he definitely already knew who they were. This was just emphasizing a lesson to be learned. This white is such a bright white that, I believe, it even glistens as the Shekinah Glory of God. Here again, white stands for righteousness. We are righteous because we have taken on Jesus' righteousness. Notice also, that they were not saved from tribulation, but in it.

Don't forget, every one of those new believers will have been left behind after the Rapture precisely because he or she had rejected God's offer of salvation up to that point.

The white robes portray a standing of righteousness, and the multitude praises God especially for their salvation. Note the sevenfold praise (of verse 12).
