You are listening to Radical with David Platte, a weekly podcast with sermons and messages

from pastor, author and teacher David Platte.

The topic I've been given for these few minutes is the song of heaven and the sound of all

nations.

And the text is Revelation 7 9 through 17, so I'll start where we should with text.

This is the Word of God.

After this I looked and behold a great multitude that no one could number from every nation,

from all tribes and peoples and languages standing before the throne and before the

lamb, closed in white robes with palm branches in their hands and crying out with a loud

voice, salvation belongs 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 worshipped God

as saying, amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and

might be to our God forever and ever.

Amen.

Then one of the elders addressed me saying, who are these, closed in white robes and from

where have they come?

I said to him, sir, you know, and he said to me, these are the ones coming out of the

great tribulation.

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

Therefore they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple.

And he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.
