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 God 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 God,
12 saying, “Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God 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?”
14 I said to him, “My lord, 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 God; 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; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”

((Growing up I was always taught that it would be almost impossible to be saved during this time. I find great encouragement in the fact that the number of those who are saved during this time are in innumerable or too many to count, "NO ONE COULD COUNT." One might ask, How could this be? Glad you asked (LOL). This is because Christianity flourishes when it is under attack and persecution. This is seen in the very beginning, the early church was persecuted and they were attacked and many were killed for their faith. God used this persecution, which satan intended to eliminate the church, God used it to spread the gospel all over the world. Persecution causes a sifting, it also causes us to really examine the truth of who God really iOS as well
as our love for Him. No one wants to die for nothing. But people everyday, die for love; love of country, love for children, love for spouses, even love for friends. And many have died for their Love for God. When we realize who God truly is and that He loves us so much that He gave His only Son to die in our place, and that Jesus loved us so much that He willfully died for us, when we realize this our hearts should be so convicted and fall in Love with God, with Jesus. God desires our hearts. At this point a Christian is willing to die for their faith. I hate to keep using the word "die," as Christian's our physical death would be better described as removing our earth suit and stepping into the eternal presence of our Lord and Savior.(praise the Lord and Hallelujah). Persecution will drive a person to have to make a choice. And apparently many will choose to die, (take off this earth suit and step into the presence of God). God says they will be innumerable. This is why persecution is a good thing. Although It doesn't feel good at the moment, it brings about a refining of those who turn to God and follow Jesus. And the eternal result is over the top. Fall in Love with your savior today. Amen)) ((Pray, Read, Listen and Do.)) ((Please pray for our countries leaders and for God to keep His hand on them. Pray that God bring us back to a repentant heart and that He would heal our land. Pray for Him to purge evil from our land and for His people to stand up and put Him back in our government, back in our cities and schools and at the center of every church. Pray for our pastors as they begin to gain strength and courage to teach God's truth concerning all the evil and sin that permeates our culture, and Pray for each other. Be all you can be for God today, AMEN.))
