Our one Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true man . . . was lifted up, [and] at the right hand of God He sits in that flesh which He assumed for us, and He will come in glory to judge the living and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end. . . . When that has been accomplished, all the elect of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues shall be standing before the throne in the presence of the Lamb, clothed with white garments and with palms in their hands. They shall cry with a loud voice, Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb. Of them it is said, These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night within His temple; and He who sits upon the throne dwells above them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; the sun shall not fall upon them, nor any scorching heat; for the Lamb, who is in the midst of throne, will direct them, and He will guide them to springs of living waters; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And everlasting joy shall be upon their head; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. —Agobard of Lyons
