A Multitude from the Great Tribulation

9 After these things I looked, and behold, aa great multitude which no one could number, bof all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, cclothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,  
10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, a“Salvation belongs to our God bwho sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”  
11 aAll the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and bworshiped God,  
12 asaying:
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”  
13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in awhite robes, and where did they come from?”  
14 And I said to him,1 “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, a“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and bwashed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Revelation 7:9

A great multitude - This appears to mean the Church of Christ among the Gentiles, for it was different from that collected from the twelve tribes; and it is here said to be of all nations, kindreds, people, and tongues.

Clothed with white robes - As emblems of innocence and purity. With palms in their hands, in token of victory gained over the world, the devil, and the flesh.
