I looked again. I saw a huge crowd, too huge to count. Everyone was there—all nations and tribes, all races and languages. And they were standing , dressed in white robes and waving palm branches, standing before the Throne and the Lamb and heartily singing: Salvation to our God on his Throne! Salvation to the Lamb! All who were standing around the Throne—Angels, Elders, Animals—fell on their faces before the Throne and worshipped God, singing: Oh, Yes! The blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving, The honour and power and strength, To our God forever and ever and ever! Oh, Yes!
Revelation 7:9 MSG
The waving of palm branches is symbolic, they were waved to announce the first King of Jerusalem in John 12 v 13. Here, they wave palm branches in anticipation of his return to Jerusalem in the events ahead.
Will you be one of the huge number, dressed in white and waving palm branches in praise of Jesus? Talk to God now and declare your love for our mighty King and acknowledge him as Lord and Saviour – your Saviour today.
O Loving Heart of Heaven,
To Whom all Nature sings,
Hear this heartfelt prayer
From a simple servant,
Who longs to please You
With devoted words,
And delight You
With dedicated deeds.
As the geese fly high
Above the grey clouds,
So may the prayers
Of this Celtic Child
Go beyond this earthly sphere,
Into the eternal realms
Of Your Glorious Kingdom.
May the Son of God,
Who is the Sovereign
Of my human heart,
And Sacred Savior
Of my wayward soul,
Intercede on my behalf.
May His gracious words
Speak of His ownership
Of me, a humble servant.
May His majestic mercy
Restore my spirit
To Your divine favor
And everlasting love.
In Christ’s Holy
And most Sacred Name,
I humbly pray.
Amen.
