What Does Revelation 7:15 Mean?
Because their robes are made white, the multitude now stands before the throne of God, serving Him day and night in His temple. And the promise crowns it: He who sits on the throne will spread His dwelling over them.
To serve God day and night is not weariness but nearness, the joy of being forever in His presence. The final word is the sweetest: God Himself will dwell among them, the ancient longing of His people answered at last. The same God who walked with Adam in the garden, who filled the tabernacle and the temple, makes His home with the redeemed, and they shall never be sent away.
