Revelation Lesson 16: Washed in the Blood of the Lamb
Revelation chapter 7 is the text for this sermon entitled, "Washed in the Blood of the Lamb."
This chapter is the immediate answer to the question at the end of chapter 6: “For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” The answer is that the blood of the Lamb seals two groups:
(1) the faithful Jews, who followed God throughout their lives under the Old Testament law, and
(2) the world-wide multitude of believers who know and follow God under the new and final testament.
The chapter also refers to great tribulation that will come to believers, pressures to renounce the faith or suffer consequences. These times of spiritual warfare will come and go, and the faithful can take comfort that a crown and white robe await those faithful.
