Where did John, in vision, see the saints?
Answer
"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds,
and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and
palms in their hands." Rev. 7: 9.
NOTE - This scripture shows plainly that the righteous are all taken to heaven immediately after
the first resurrection. This accords with the words of Christ in John 14: 1-3, where He says, "I go to
prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto
Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." Peter desired to accompany Christ to those mansions; but
Jesus answered, "Thou cannot not follow Me now; but thou shall follow Me afterwards." John 13: 36. This
makes it clear that when Christ returns to earth to receive His people, He takes them to the Father's house
in heaven.
