Christians Are Being Killed for Their Faith Today — What Revelation 7 Promises Them

Right now, in more than 100 nations, choosing to follow Jesus can cost you your freedom, your safety, or your life — and most of it never makes the headlines. In this message, Pastor John S. Dickerson opens Revelation chapter 7, where John sees a vast, uncountable crowd from every nation, tribe, and language standing before God's throne in white robes. These are described as people who came out of the great tribulation, many of them believers who gave their lives for their faith. Today, in nations across Africa and the Middle East, that same story is still being written: Christians are being imprisoned, tortured, and killed simply for worshiping Jesus, often with almost no coverage in Western news. Revelation 7 gives us God's own promise to them — they will never hunger or thirst again, and He himself will wipe every tear from their eyes. This is part of Daily Hope's current study on praying for revival in our nation, hosted by Pastor John S. Dickerson. As we see what our brothers and sisters around the world are enduring for Christ, it reshapes how we pray — for them, and for a fresh work of God in our own country.
