‏ Revelation of John 7:13

Honour and Happiness of the Saints

This section describes the great honor and happiness of those who have faithfully served Jesus and suffered for Him. It shows how God rewards His people after their trials. The vision teaches us to respect and admire those who have stayed true to Christ, even through hard times. It also reminds us that all true believers are made pure by Jesus’ sacrifice, not by their own efforts.

v. 13: One of the elders asks John, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and where did they come from?” This question is not because the elder does not know, but to help John and us learn. Even the greatest teachers can learn from others, and the saints in heaven know more than the wisest people on earth. We should notice and respect faithful Christians, just as the elder does here (Song of Solomon 3:6 a).
