There is a dynamic passage in the book of Revelation, where we catch a glimpse of all the nations, tribes, peoples and tongues worshiping together around the throne:
...I looked, and beheld, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and unto the Lamb!" (Rev. 7:9–10)
These worshipers all have the same:
...I looked, and beheld, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and unto the Lamb!" (Rev. 7:9–10)
These worshipers all have the same:
Provision - They are all wearing white robes of righteousness
Praise - They are all singing the same words
Purpose - They are all worshipping the Lamb
Pageantry - They are all waving palm branches
Proclamation - They are all crying with loud voices
Perspective - They are all beholding the Lamb
Place - They are all before the throne
Posture - They are all standing
Just imagine - these are people from all nations, generations and denominations who are worshiping before the throne of God. No one is complaining that they are from a denomination that doesn't worship that way...with that particular song - they are all unified in worshiping the Lamb. In fact, there are eight areas when they find themselves unified in worship in this passage.
When we worship in spirit and truth, then worship is a unifying factor...our eyes are on the Lord and not the things that divide us.
