Impressed By Quantity?

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” Revelation 7:9-10

Are you impressed by quantity? I'm impressed by the quantity of cash it takes to purchase a new diesel pickup these days. If I am so easily impressed, imagine this prophecy of a quantity that cannot be numbered. Does that mean too many to count? It may well be, and with a number such as 200 millions foretold in the Apocalypse, that could mean quite a crowd. Yet the thing even more impressive than the quantity here is the quality. That is the multitude comes out of every nation, tribe, people, and tongue! Think of some peoples, nations, and tribes in the past or of today, see any way someone could be saved out of that? And yet, Jesus promises every and all of those groups will have sheep there telling of His salvation. Let us join in!

Salvation belongs to our God and to the Lamb!
