16th May 2016 - Leicester City wins the Premiership Trophy |
And there were thousands of people marked out equally from every tribe of Israel.
And after this I saw a multitude of people from every nation and tribe, too vast to count.
They were clothes in white tunics, and held up a palm branch in their hands.
They were calling in a great roar of sound.
“Salvation comes from the creator, the lamb, who is seated on the throne.”
Again, all the beings around the throne dropped to the ground and honoured the lamb.
“Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honour, power, strength
Belong to our Creator for ever and ever. Amen!”
One of the wise leaders came over to me and asked if I knew who these many people dressed in white where? I did not and enquired of her. She explained this:
“They are the people who died for the Creator in the great tribulation.
The lamb has made them pure and clean by his sacrifice. This is why they are able to stand safely before the throne and serve the lamb both night and day. They will never suffer hunger or thirst. The lamb feeds them from springs of living water, and the creator wipes away their tears.” Revelation 7
We can experience a foretaste of what is to come. Elation is often experienced in crowds. The opposite can also be true. The emotion is shared and grows.
When Leicester City won the premiership, the city felt elated. But this was just about a 90 minute games where a sack of air is lofted about a park in something akin to 'Brownian Motion'.
The elation that comes from being with Jesus will last an eternity!
PRAYER: Jesus, I cannot wait to live with you without the current impediments that surround me now.
