And
they cried with a loud voice, saying, salvation to our God which sitteth upon
the throne, and unto the Lamb. Rev. 7:10.
This is the cry of the ransomed around
the throne when the universe is dissolving in wreck, and terror is filling the
hearts of men. It is the first cry of the ransomed after they
reach their home and have seen all that it means to be lost and to be saved,
while the earth is reeling, and the elements are melting, and all things are
quaking and trembling in the first approaches of the great catastrophe. They see behind them all the way through which the Lord has led them;
down that long vista they behold the toils they have come through and the
perils they have escaped, and they recognize how tenderly the grace of God has
led them on and kept them safe. They see the robes and crowns that
are prepared for them, and all the joy of the eternal future which is opening
before them. They see all this, and then they behold Him
whose hand has kept it all safely for them, and whose heart has chosen it for
them. They look back upon all the past: they look
forward into all the future; they look up into the face of Him to whom it was
all due, and then they lift up their voices in one glad exultant cry,
“Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.” This is what salvation means; this is what they have believed for;
this is what He died to give them. They have it all. They are saved, and the full realization of it has come home to their
heart at last.
