They are all “clothed in white robes.” The martyred souls under the altar had also been given white robes to wear (Revelation 6:11), but now John sees many more dressed in white. This multitude has received forgiveness of sins through the blood of the Lamb (see Revelation 7:14). Those washed in Jesus’ blood are also renewed by his Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9). This explains how a crowd divided by language and culture and customs so as to be distrustful of one another can be together peacefully (Ephesians 2:11–22).
9 Après cela, je regardai, et voici, il y avait une grande foule, que personne ne pouvait compter, de toute nation, de toute tribu, de tout peuple, et de toute langue. Ils se tenaient devant le trône et devant l'Agneau, revêtus de robes blanches, et des palmes dans leurs mains.
