This verifies that our God and Savior has forgiven those who have submitted to Him, from every tribe, tongue and nation throughout the entire world. Thank You, Lord, that You receive all who have submitted to Your authority, from every nation under the sun. Amen

Revelation 7:9-10 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, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" In Heaven, everyone will be wearing the same thing, a white robe. There's not going to be any segregation in Heaven. No rich or poor, no one's gonna look down their nose at anyone. The only picture we can get of Heaven is what we read in the bible, and relate to what we've experienced here on earth. 1 John 3:2 tells us that we don't know what we're gonna be like, but we're gonna be like Him. Revelation 21 tells us that there will be no sorrow, tears or pain in Heaven. God is gonna wipe away every tear from our eyes. When we watch a TV show, movie or read a book, in order for it to have any kind of decent plot, there's always gotta be a bad guy. It's hard to imagine life without bad guys, but when we get to Heaven, there won't be any bad guys, but we're all gonna be transformed and won't be looking for a bad guy to make the story interesting. Some folks think that means Heaven will be boring. But if everything about us is transformed, that's not possible. I don't totally understand it, but I'll just be happy to not hafta think about what I'm thinking about every moment, bringing every thinking thought captive to the obedience of Christ. That in itself will be such a relief. I'll be totally free to not look around and compare myself to any of the other white robed folks: are they richer, poorer, fatter, skinnier, prettier, uglier, smarter, more talented. Whew, how exhausting is that? I'll be able to rest my weary mind and focus on the most important thing, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, who left that awesome place to come down here as one of us, live a perfect life we could never live, die a horrible death to pay the price for our sins, that we could never pay, then raise from the dead to purchase a place for us in Heaven. All any of us hafta do is, repent, transfer our trust from being a good person to what Jesus did for us, and ask Jesus to come into our heart to be our Lord, Saviour and forever friend. People try and make it so complicated, and Paul said 1 Corinthians 1:27, that God uses the simple things to confound the wise. Jesus said in Matthew 18, that we need to become as a child to receive Him. Papa God, please reveal just who and how You are to those that just won't see the simple truth of the gospel so none should perish but all should come to eternal life, in Jesus name, Amen

That the gospel will be successful in reaching every nation, people group, and language. Salvation shall be universal in the sense that representatives of every culture will be part of God's people in Messiah Jesus. The gospel will win people from around the world. Praise be to the great God who saves such a great multitude. Amen

All of God's followers will be brought safely to him.

This tells me that all of us are GOD'S children. It doesn;t matter what our race or gender. There are no special requirements, only that we believe in HIM.
