Apocalipse 5

Apocalipse 5

Wuest puts it "Our Lord’s precious, outpoured blood was the ransom paid to redeem slaves of sin from that slavery. His death satisfied the just demands of the High Court of Heaven, paying the penalty for the sinner, and making a way whereby a righteous God could be just and at the same time the justifier of the believing sinner. (Wuest Word Studies - Eerdman Publishing Company Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3 - used by permission) Simon Kistemaker said, “The word tribe conveys the meaning of physical ties and descent, while the term language has a much broader connotation and points to linguistic communication. The word that I have translated as people relates to an ethnic group of common descent; and the expression nation refers to a political entity with distinct geographic boundaries. But(Exposition of the Book of Revelation) Notice every tribe and tongue and people and nation (same terms in Rev 7:9; Rev 11:9; Rev 13:7; Rev 14:6) - A literal interpretation of this verse promises that there will be souls from every hidden people group on earth, and many are still unreached. THOUGHT - Our glorious task/privilege is now to pray for this passage to be fulfilled in these groups. See the discussion on Praying for People from Every Tribe, Tongue, People and Nation and then PRAY! Pray daily for an unreached group. Our life is a vapor (Jas 4:14+), so redeem the time while you still have time! Now is the precious time to store up for yourself treasure in Heaven (Mt 6:20,21+), and what better treasure than souls who you have prayed for down here and can then fellowship with forever up there! Here is an easy way to pray for the HIDDEN PEOPLE GROUPS daily – bookmark Joshua Project and/or download the APP from Joshua Project and select "daily notifications" and you will receive a daily text reminder with the name of the hidden people group for that day.
