The Revelation to John (Continued) - Majesty and Centrality of God - Revelation 4:1-11, 5:1-14; Destructiveness of Sin - Revelation 6:1-17, 7:1-17, 8:1-6
...And He who sits on the throne will spread His tent over them. Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; He will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Revelation 7:15-17
There's my tent thing again. This time, however, the tent symbolizes God's care and protection and not a symbol of our temporary dwelling on earth.
"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." Amazing. How intimate a portrait of God, the Creator of the Universe. How much He cares for us. How individual, how personal and how He touches us at our most vulnerable moments - when life overwhelms and the tears come.
Lord knows. And Lord knows us.
