Revelation 7:9: The Lord is lord of people from all tribes, and from all nations
A hymn: Jesus is the Lord of all nations
From every corner of the earth they come
People from every tribe and tongue
In Christ, united by His grace
Standing before God's holy place
Chorus:
Hallelujah, we come to worship
In one accord, with every nation
Praising God for His great love
And the gift of our salvation
Clothed in white, pure and bright
Holding palm branches, symbols of might
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Saved from sin, no longer in damn
Some may have heard the gospel preached
While others through visions were reached
God's love and mercy, for all to see
In Him, we find hope and eternity
Chorus:
Hallelujah, we come to worship
In one accord, with every nation
Praising God for His great love
And the gift of our salvation
From Asia, Africa, and Indopacific
To the whole world, His love is specific
No one is beyond His reach and care
His love for every ethnicity to share
Indigenous tribes, isolated and alone
Received visions of a "man in white" unknown
He brought hope and salvation to their land
And led many to His Christian stand
Chorus:
Hallelujah, we come to worship
In one accord, with every nation
Praising God for His great love
And the gift of our salvation
God's plan of salvation for all to know
His love for us will continue to grow
So let us spread His light and love
To every people and land, both far and above
One day we'll stand before His throne
A great multitude from every zone
Clothed in white robes, singing His praise
Forever in His presence, for all our days.
Chorus:
Hallelujah, we come to worship
In one accord, with every nation
Praising God for His great love
And the gift of our salvation.
A Poem: Jesus is Lord of all nations
From every corner of the earth they come
People from every tribe and tongue
In Christ, united by His grace

Clothed in white, pure and bright
Holding palm branches, symbols of might
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Saved from sin, no longer in damn
Some may have heard the gospel preached
While others through visions were reached
God's love and mercy, for all to see
In Him, we find hope and eternity

To the whole world, His love is specific
No one is beyond His reach and care
His love for every ethnicity to share
Indigenous tribes, isolated and alone
Received visions of a "man in white" unknown
He brought hope and salvation to their land
And led many to His Christian stand
God's plan of salvation for all to know
His love for us will continue to grow
So let us spread His light and love
To every people and land, both far and above
One day we'll stand before His throne
A great multitude from every zone
Clothed in white robes, singing His praise
Forever in His presence, for all our days.
Jesus, King, and Lord of all nations
Your love and grace extend to all
From east to west, and north to south
You reach out to all, without a doubt
Your arms embrace the rich and poor
Your mercy extends to every shore
No race, no creed, no tribe, no tongue
Is beyond the reach of your love, among
You died for all, that we might live
Your sacrifice, our sins forgive
You rose again, triumphant and strong
To reign as King, forever long
From every language, every culture
We lift our voices in one accord
To worship you, our Lord and King
And in your presence, forever sing
Jesus, Lord of all nations, we declare
Our love and allegiance, we gladly share
May your name be praised, forevermore
And all the earth, your glory adore.
Revelation 7:9.
The people being described are a great multitude from all nations, tribes, peoples, and languages. They are standing before the throne of God and the Lamb (Jesus Christ) in heaven. They are clothed in white robes, which symbolize their purity and righteousness, and are holding palm branches, which are a symbol of victory and triumph.
This passage can be interpreted as a vision of the end times, when all believers from every corner of the earth will be gathered together before God's throne. It is a representation of the diversity and unity of the church, made up of people from all backgrounds and cultures who have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ.
They will be from all nations, all tribes, speak all languages, and be of all ethnic groups, and from all ages. It is a powerful image of the universal scope of God's plan of salvation. Representatives from all peoples and cultures will be present. There may be individuals and even entire ethnic groups who have not yet had the opportunity to hear the gospel, but who will still be represented among the redeemed. The Lord might have provided a way for all people to hear the gospel and respond to it, even if they have never had access to Christian missionaries or churches. This could include divine revelation or encounters with Jesus through dreams or visions, for example.
Nabeel Qureshi, for example, was raised as a devout Muslim but later converted to Christianity. In his book "Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus," Qureshi describes how he had a dream in which he saw Jesus, who told him "Follow Me." This dream had a profound impact on Qureshi, who had never before considered Christianity as a viable option.
Another example comes from a woman named Maryam, who lives in an Islamic country where Christian evangelism is illegal. One night, she had a dream in which she saw a man in white robes who she later identified as Jesus. In the dream, Jesus took her hand and said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." Maryam was deeply moved by this dream and eventually became a Christian, even though it meant risking persecution and possibly death.
These are just two examples of many similar testimonies from people around the world who have experienced dreams or visions of Jesus Christ. While these experiences may not be the norm, they serve as a powerful reminder that God can reach people in ways that we may not always expect or understand.
There are several examples of indigenous tribes that have reported receiving visions or dreams of outsiders bringing them the gospel, and some of these stories have become well-known in Christian mission circles.
One example is the story of the Karon people of Papua New Guinea. According to a report by the mission organization Wycliffe Bible Translators, the Karon people had long been isolated from the outside world and had never heard the gospel before. However, in the early 1990s, several Karon leaders reported having visions of a "white-skinned man" who came to them carrying a "black book" that contained a message of hope and salvation.
Despite not knowing who this man was or what the book contained, the Karon leaders felt convinced that they needed to find this book and learn more about its message. They eventually made contact with a Christian mission organization, who provided them with a copy of the New Testament in their own language. According to reports, many Karon people have since embraced Christianity and have been transformed by the message of hope and salvation that they discovered in the pages of the Bible.
Another example is the story of the Kamba people of Kenya, who are believed to have received a vision of a "man in white" carrying a book of life. According to an article in Christianity Today, this vision is said to have sparked a revival among the Kamba people, leading many to turn away from traditional African religions and embrace Christianity.
These stories and others like them serve as a powerful reminder of God's sovereignty and the ways in which He can reach people in unexpected ways, even in the most remote and isolated corners of the world.
