Revelation 7:11-12


11 And all the angels were standing round the throne and round the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin] and the four living creatures, and they fell prostrate before the throne and worshiped God.
  • Our Father will be worshipped because many will come to salvation during the end times.
12 Amen! (So be it!) they cried. Blessing and glory and majesty and splendor and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and might [be ascribed] to our God to the ages and ages (forever and ever, throughout the eternities of the eternities)! Amen! (So be it!)
  • The leadership of Heaven and all of the angels agree with what is happening on the earth. Our Father, Jesus, the twenty-four Elders, the four living creatures that see everything, and the angels, are all in full agreement. Our Father had it written that out of the mouth of two or three to let everything be confirmed and here we see that all of Heaven is agreement. All of the beings of Heaven are also rejoicing because there is revival among the Jews and an uncountable number of people from all over the earth will be saved. 
  • They are celebrating Jesus’ complete victory.
  • But God’s free gift is not at all to be compared to the trespass [His grace is out of all proportion to the fall of man]. For if many died through one man’s falling away (his lapse, his offense), much more profusely did God’s grace and the free gift [that comes] through the undeserved favor of the one Man Jesus Christ abound and overflow to and for [the benefit of] many. Romans 5:15
  • Well then, as one man’s trespass [one man’s false step and falling away led] to condemnation for all men, so one Man’s act of righteousness [leads] to acquittal and right standing with God and life for all men. Romans 5:18
