Every Tribe In Iquitos

We just returned from a wonderful trip to the city of Iquitos in the heart of the Peruvian jungle, right on the Amazon River. While we were there, we visited two native tribes, the Boras and the Yaguas. As we visited with and ministered to the two tribes, I was reminded of the words of Revelation 7:9, "After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language ...."

Sometimes we think that everyone in heaven is going to be just like us, but Revelation 7:9 reminds us that heaven is going to be a beautiful patchwork of people of different colors, races, ethnicities, cultures, social classes, tongues, languages, dialects, nations, and tribes. It's awesome to think that we'll be sharing eternity with our brothers and sisters from the Boras and the Yaguas. It will be one heaven, but it will be made up of many different types of people.
