- They have the name of the Lamb and of his Father on their foreheads (two names not one) !

- They sing a new song before the throne and they are the only one who can learn it !

- They become a kingdom of priests who serve God and reign with him upon the earth !

- They follow the lamb wherever he goes !

- Then we are told they are from all the tribes of Israel !

- But they can’t be at the same time from every tribe and tongue and people and nation and from all the tribes of Israel !

- Except if we remember Exodus 19:5,6 where it is said that Israel could have become a nation of priests !

- But they didn’t keep God’s covenant !

- So the Levites became the priests in Israel instead!

- In Numbers 3:39-51, they had a special first fruit role !

- Thus Israel was replaced by this first group !

- This group has been redeemed from among men as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb !

- They have not been defiled with women for they are virgins !

- No lie was found in their mouths and they are blameless !

- Thus it is impossible to make a confusion about their nature!

 

[JLG]

- The second group is a countless multitude !

- They come out of the great tribulation !

- They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb !

- They are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple !

- And the one seated on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them !

- They won’t hunger nor thirst nor feel the heat !

- The lamb will be their shepherd !

- He will lead them to springs of water !

- And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes !

- They stand before the throne and before the lamb !

- They wear white robes and palm branches !

 

[JLG]

- Not to forget the third point :

- We are also told that a gospel is proclaimed to those who dwell on the earth to every nation and tribe and tongue and people !
