Revelation 13-14

“And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach … to every nation and tribe and tongue … ” (14:6). Though Revelation uses language from Jewish apocalyptic (end of the world) writings like Daniel, it emphasizes the global mission of Jesus Christ. John saw in heaven “a great multitude … from every nation and all tribes … ” (7:9). This is the Body of Christ, full of differences but united by His blood.

No matter our various backgrounds, together we have a new destiny. Jesus redeemed us in order to create “a kingdom and priests to our God” (5:9-10).
