WHO ARE THESE?[ ALL SAINTS DAY]
Dear children of God, a great multitude that no could
number, standing before the throne of God and before the Lamb. Today we are
going to remember our fore fathers and saints of God who were walked before the
Lord. They are standing in the beautiful lane, standing before the Lamb of God,
clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. They fell on their
face before the throne and around the elders and worshiped God, saying, Amen! Blessing
and glory and wisdom and knowledge and thanksgiving and honor and power and
might be to our God forever and ever! Amen. One day we are going to join the
beautiful lane along with all saints. We are going to fall on our face before
the throne of God and lamb, saying, Salvation belongs to our God who sits on
the throne, and to the Lamb.
WHO ARE THESE? Saints are washed by the blood of Jesus, sanctified
and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God. The
blood of Jesus his son cleanses us from all sin. If we say, we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves, and truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. Joshua was standing
before the angel, clothed with filthy garments, and to him he said, ‘I have
taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments. They
have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Our sinful
nature and sinful characters all ought to cleanse by the blood of Jesus. Our
marred image of God and the sinful filthy garment have to wash and have to make
them white in the blood of the Lamb. Come now, let us reason together, says the
Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though
they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. If you are willing and
obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you
shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken. Saints are these
ones coming out of the great tribulation. Today we may face many troubles and
sufferings and tribulations, but one day we are going to stand before the
throne of God and the Lamb of God. Our Lord Jesus is going to welcome us and
saying,’ come you who are blessed by my father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the beginning [foundation] of the world.
WHAT ARE THE BLESSINGS THEY RECEIVE? 1. Saints, therefore are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple. This was the longing of King David, one thing have I asked of the Lord, and that will I seek after; that may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. Surly goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of God forever.2. He who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 3. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, or any scorching heat.4. The Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their Shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water. 5. God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth. They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. But nothing unclean will ever enter it, or anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
