3rd Sunday in December
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Revelation 7:9-17

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;
and they cry out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation to our God who sits on the
throne, and to the Lamb."

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, saying, "Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and
power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen."

And one of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are clothed in the white
robes, who are they, and from where have they come?" And 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. 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 shall spread His tabernacle over them.

"They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; neither shall the sun beat down
on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb in the center of the throne shall be their shepherd,
and shall guide them to springs of the water of life; and God shall wipe every tear
from their eyes." Revelation 7:9-17 (NAS)

Easy-to-Read Version:

Then I looked, and there were many, many people. There were so many people that
a person could not count them all. They were from every nation, tribe, race of people,
and language of the earth. These people were standing before the throne and before
the Lamb (Jesus). They all wore white robes and had palm branches in their hands.
They shouted with a loud voice, "Victory belongs to our God, who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb."

The elders and the four living things were there. All the angels were standing around
them and the throne. The angels bowed down on their faces before the throne and
worshiped God. They said, "Amen! Praise, glory, wisdom, thanks, honor, power, and
strength belong to our God forever and ever. Amen!"

Then one of the elders asked me, "Who are these people in white robes? Where did
they come from?" I answered, "You know who they are, sir." And the elders said,
"These are the people who have come out of the great suffering. They have washed
their robes with the blood of the Lamb. Now they are clean and white. So now these
people are before the throne of God. They worship God day and night in his temple.
And the One (God) who sits on the throne will protect them.

"They will never be hungry again. They will never be thirsty again. The sun will
not hurt them. No heat will burn them. The Lamb at the center of the throne will
be their shepherd. He will lead them to springs of water that give life. And God
will wipe away every tear from their eyes." Revelation 7:9-17 (ERV)
