The Great Multitude in White Robes

⁹ After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language,^(A) standing before the throne^(B) and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes^(C) and were holding palm branches in their hands.

¹³ They took palm branches^(A) and went out to meet him, shouting,

⁹ And they sang a new song, saying:^(A)

¹³ Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes^(A)—who are they, and where did they come from?”

¹⁴ I answered, “Sir, you know.”

And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes^(B) and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.^{(C) 15} Therefore,

¹¹ Then each of them was given a white robe,^(A) and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters,^[a] were killed just as they had been.^(B)

All Israel Will Be Saved

²⁵ I do not want you to be ignorant^(A) of this mystery,^(B) brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited:^(C) Israel has experienced a hardening^(D) in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,^(E)

¹¹ “Many nations will be joined with the Lord in that day and will become my people.^(A) I will live among you and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.^(B)

¹⁷ At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne^(A) of the Lord, and all nations^(B) will gather in Jerusalem to honor^(C) the name of the Lord. No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts.^(D)
