Summary of Revelation 7:13-17

Those in white robes are those who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. They worship God night and day and are sheltered by God. They will never be hungry, thirsty, or hot. For the Lamb is their shepherd who leads them to springs of living water. God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

11) The white-robed multitude is those who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

12) White robes represent salvation and covered in God’s righteousness. Therefore, the multitude has been saved.

13) They worship God night and day and are sheltered by God. They will never be hungry, thirsty, or hot. For the Lamb is their shepherd who leads them to springs of living water. God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

14a)

John 1:29: Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

John 10:1-18: The shepherd knows his sheep by name and he calls each of them. All who follow Jesus gain salvation. He lays down his life for the sheep.

John 4:4-14; 7:38: Jesus offers the elixir/drink of living water; whoever drinks it will have eternal life and will never thirst again. “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

b) Definitely more reverently. Jesus is our provider and our salvation. He is the only thing we need. We need to cling to him over everything else in this world.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 13, Day 5: Revelation 7:13-17

I love Jesus as the Good Shepherd. It’s one of my favorite ways I like to look at the Lord. He leads, he calls, we follow. End of story.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 13, Day 5: Revelation 7:13-17

Many Bible scholars believe the elders are martyrs for Christ.

Note there are no barriers to God in heaven. All come to worship Him.

God dwells with His people.

There will be no more sorrow, pain, or tears. Simply love.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 13, Day 4: Revelation 7:9-12

by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

Summary of Revelation 7:9-12

A great multitude in white robes was praising God and Jesus. Then the angels, elders, and 4 living creatures stood around the throne, bowed before God, and began worshipping Him.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 13, Day 4: Revelation 7:9-12

9a) The multitude was so great that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.

b) God’s people come from every nation and race from all over the world. God loves and includes everyone in His promises, His love, and His plans.

c) “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” They were acknowledging God’s plan Jesus’ execution of our salvation.

d) This is tough because almost everyone I know personally is Christian. There are probably people at work who are not, so I do my best to live a Godly life and give Him the credit when I can, hoping my personal testimony will at least open the door to Jesus.

10a) God’s sovereignty over all beings. The importance of worship. How we get to worship God, too.

b) His grace, His forgiveness, His provisions, Him being in control, Him worrying for me.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 13, Day 4: Revelation 7:9-12

I love how everyone worships in heaven. Such greatness!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 13, Day 4: Revelation 7:9-12

“After this” introduces a new vision.

We can see the Great Commission (Matthew 24:14) having taken place here.

White robes represent righteousness and priestly service.

The palm branches should remind you of Jesus entering Jerusalem (John 12:12-16). They are symbols of victory.

Salvation is God’s greatest gift, so it’s fitting all in heaven recognize that.

“Amen” signifies “let it be so.”

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 13, Day 3: Revelation 7:1-8

by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

Summary of Revelation 7:1-8

John saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. He saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given the power to harm the land and the sea: “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”

144,000 from all the tribes of Israel were sealed: Judah, Reuben, Gad, Asher,  Naphtali,  Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin.

5) The second angel had the seal of the living God. The seal will protect believers (those with the Holy Spirit and believers in Christ as Savior) from God’s judgment.

6) Judah is mentioned first. David and ultimately Jesus is most prominent. Judah may be mentioned first because Jesus comes from the line of David/Judah.

7) I know I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, the redeemer from my sins, into my heart. That is all that is required to be sealed in salvation and chosen to be God’s children.

8 ) I think I have a clearer idea of salvation. I can articulate it better and explain salvation to others better. I think this makes me more effective in my walk with God, too. I can become closer to Him the more I understand.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 13, Day 3: Revelation 7:1-8

Love, love, love God’s care, love, and forethought! God does not miss anything. He sees everything!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 13, Day 3: Revelation 7:1-8

Winds are often a force of judgment in the Bible.

God often used seals to mark his people Ezekiel 9:4. Kings used seals for royal decrees and orders. Hence, they are always to be obeyed.

We’ll see in (Revelation 14:1) that the seal is some form of God’s name.

The 144,000 is divided equally with 12,000 being from each tribe.

Note that the tribe of Dan and Ephraim is left out. Here, we see Levi (as the tribe of the priests, they received no land so they were normally left out of things), and Joseph (Ephraim’s father) instead. Bible scholars disagree on why this is the case. Some think this is because Dan may be the tribe of the Anti-Christ based on these passages. Daniel 11:37 and Jeremiah 8:16.  Dan and Ephraim were also the tribe that introduced idolatry into the nation of Israel (Genesis 49:17; Judges 18:30, (Hosea 4:17). And, some Bible scholars believe the tribe of Ephraim is indirectly implied through Joseph, so they are in fact listed.

But, Dan is the first tribe listed in Ezekiel’s millennial roll call of the tribes (Ezekiel 48). So, who knows? God has His reasons, doesn’t He?

All that being said, is the 144,000 symbolic or the actual number? Many believe that this number represents the entire church. Or, as Jewish people brought through the tribulation.

The fact is, only God knows, and He wants to keep it that way or He would have explicitly told us. We’ll all find out when we get to the other side of heaven!

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 13, Day 2: Revelation 7:1-3

by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

Summary of Revelation 7:1-3

John saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. He saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given the power to harm the land and the sea: “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”

3) The four angels were standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.

4a) God’s judgment.

b) The winds are being held back so that the faithful/believers can be marked, so they are not harmed in God’s judgment on unbelievers. The winds will also only damage 1/3 of the earth (so judgment is being held back here, too), giving others a chance to turn to God before the final judgment is pronounced.

c) I’m sure there have been many, many times in my life where I deserved to suffer more/worse consequences for my sins than I was given. God is extremely merciful when we mess up, knowing the right consequences to teach us a lesson without overdoing it. He is SO great!

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 13, Day 2: Revelation 7:1-3

I love God’s mercy here and His care for His people. No mistakes will be made under God’s care!
