Revelation 7:14

Key Reflection

In Revelation 7:14, one of the elders in John's visionary scene responds to his questioner by pointing out those arrayed in white robes—symbolizing purity and sanctification through divine grace. This imagery would have resonated deeply with John’s original audience, who were familiar with the traditions of purification rituals and the hope for righteous living in the eschatological context promised by early Christian prophecy.
