The space between. Between what has happened and what will happen. The space of already and not yet.
This is where we live. We are the servants who are sealed with God's mark on our foreheads: "You are sealed by the Holy Spirit in Baptism and marked as Christ's own forever. BCP 308
This chapter serves as an interlude between what has been (before the Messiah) and what is to come.
Now, realizing that God has placed the choosing into our hands is a bit scary. But remember, God is the Alpha and the Omega. Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne.
Do we believe God is going to get what God wants? Are we ready and willing to be God's agents, and in thanksgiving, serve God and God's purpose? Read verses 15-17 of this seventh chapter; if this is the reality you wish to live in, then say yes to God.
for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
