Revelation 15:4
“Who wouldn’t fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you only are holy. For all the nations will come and worship before you. For your righteous acts have been revealed.””
What does Revelation 15:4 mean?
This passage captures a moment of worship in heaven where people from every nation recognize God's complete authority and holiness. The rhetorical question "Who wouldn't fear you?" isn't really expecting an answer, but rather expressing wonder that anyone could encounter God's character and not respond with reverence and praise. What makes this moment so powerful is that it's universal, bringing together all nations and peoples in a shared recognition of God's justice and goodness. The phrase "your righteous acts have been revealed" suggests that by this point in God's plan, everyone can finally see clearly how fair, loving, and just God has been all along, even when circumstances made it hard to believe during their earthly lives. It's a hopeful vision that ultimately, truth and righteousness will be undeniable to all.
