White Robes of Righteousness

Robe

Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”   Psalms 132:9

I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh! My soul will be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.  Isaiah 61:10

And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.  Revelation 19:8  The armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white, pure, fine linen.  Revelation 19:14

Because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,  the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.  I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.  I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame.   I was a father to the needy. The cause of him who I didn’t know, I searched out.  I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the prey out of his teeth.  Job 29:12-17

Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that didn’t defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.  He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.  He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.   Revelation 3:4-6

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads. Revelation 4:4

24Elders

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.   They cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”  A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.  Revelation 6:9-11

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could count, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.   They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”   All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped God,  saying, “Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” One of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?”  I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.  Revelation 7:9-14

“Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn’t walk naked, and they see his shame.”  Revelation 16:15

It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Revelation 19:8

LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:  How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;  Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;  I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,  Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.  Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.  We will go into His tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.  Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.  Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.  For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.   The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.  If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.  For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for His habitation.  This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.  I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.  I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.  There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.  His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.  Psalm 132
