Season 1 Episode 7 / 8 with Rev Simon Shiveka
EPISODE 7 RECAP | THE SHEEP NATIONS & THE WHITE-ROBED MULTITUDE
What is the difference between the Sheep Nations in Matthew 25 and the great multitude in white robes in Revelation 7?
In Episode 7, Rev. Simon Shiveka takes us deeper into one of the most misunderstood areas of biblical prophecy—the salvation of the nations and God's unfolding purpose for the 70 nations connected to Babel.
The teaching traces how God's prophetic program moves from judgment to restoration, showing how the nations ultimately come back into God's purpose.
Key Highlights
• The Entry Exam of the Nations
In Matthew 25, the judgment of the sheep and goat nations is presented within Israel's prophetic program and is different from the grace-faith message given to the Body of Christ.
The nations are judged according to their works and righteousness, specifically by how they treated Christ's brethren—the faithful remnant of Israel—during the Tribulation, when they are persecuted, destitute, and under severe global pressure.
The response of the nations to Israel becomes the basis of their judgment.
• Activating the Abrahamic Covenant
This judgment connects directly with the promise given to Abraham:
📖 "I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee." — Genesis 12:3 (KJV)
The nations that bless and assist Abraham's seed receive blessing, while those who curse or refuse to help them face judgment.
The earthly judgment of the nations therefore becomes part of the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant.
• The Sealing of the 144,000
Before the winds of judgment are released upon the earth, God seals 144,000 from the tribes of Israel (Revelation 7).
They are not presented as the entire harvest of Israel, but as firstfruits—a faithful remnant set apart for God's prophetic purpose.
Their sealing represents God's ownership and governmental authority as they participate in carrying the light of God's Kingdom message to the nations.
• The Gospel of the Kingdom Is Recommissioned
During the present dispensation, the Gospel of the Kingdom is not the message through which God is presently building the Body of Christ.
But the prophetic program resumes.
In Revelation 10, John receives the little book from the mighty angel. After eating it, he is told:
📖 "Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings." — Revelation 10:11 (KJV)
The command to "prophesy again" points to the recommissioning of the Kingdom message to the nations, fulfilling the prophetic declaration of Matthew 24:14.
• The Antidote to Babel — The White-Robed Multitude
Then we arrive at one of the most powerful pictures in Revelation 7.
John sees a great multitude that no man could number, from every nation, kindred, people, and tongue, standing before the throne clothed in white robes.
They cry out:
📖 "Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb." — Revelation 7:10 (KJV)
This multitude represents the remarkable outcome of God's prophetic dealings with the nations.
At Babel in Genesis 11, the nations were scattered and given over to the worship of false gods. In Revelation, we see the prophetic reversal—the nations gathered before the true God and the Lamb.
What was scattered at Babel is ultimately brought back into God's purpose.
Episode 7 takes us through the prophetic journey from Babel to blessing, from scattering to gathering, and from rebellion to worship.
Understanding the Sheep Nations, the 144,000, the recommissioned Gospel of the Kingdom, and the white-robed multitude helps us see the larger picture of God's purpose for Israel and the nations.
Continue following the series as we chronologically unfold the Scriptures and discover God's plan for the nations.
