Revelation 7:9 KJV
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Revelation 7:14 KJV
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Verse fourteen speaks of those who have come out of great tribulation. We see this as a moniker of that seven year period which shall be worse than this world has ever seen. The suffering of the great tribulation is nearly indescribable and even that description we have in the revelation involves types and metaphors that leave us only imagining the horror.
But the Bible also tells us that this great tribulation will be a time of immense salvation as multitudes of every kindred and nation and tongue come to know the Lamb of God.
We focus so much on temporal pleasures that we often miss the great work God may be doing through our troubles. The blessing of the Lord is seldom physical. But His blessing has eternal dividends.
