Every One Accounted For: The Seal, the Census, and the Song (Revelation, No. 1)

"After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb" (Revelation 7:9).

A hundred and forty and four thousand, twelve thousand from each tribe of Israel. Some have read the number as a count of Jews. Some have been told it is the only people who will ever see heaven. And some have quietly feared that they are not in the number.

In Every One Accounted For, Dr. John W. Edmerson reads Revelation 7 and 14 slowly and fairly. He shows why God sealed His servants before the storm broke, why the number is built like the muster of an army, and why John, who heard a number, turned and saw a multitude no man could count. He holds open what careful brethren hold open, and he preaches without hesitation what the passage makes certain: the Lord knows them that are His, and not one of them will be missing.
