Following the Lamb wherever He goes

Revelation 14:4 “These are they who have not been defiled with women; for they are pure, these following the Lamb wherever He shall go. These have been redeemed out from men as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.”


I always wondered what it means ”following the Lamb wherever He shall go”. Once I thought it means physically where the Lamb of God, the Son of Man, goes, going there physically too. Of course the Lamb is physically mainly in the vicinity of the throne chamber of God as described by Enoch. So no, not physically. You cannot physically go to His actual location. Nor does He allow people to accompany Him when He goes anywhere physically or by spiritual means. No it must mean more a metaphysical following as a turn of phrase, an idiom like when we say in conversation or debate, when reasoning with someone “I know where you are going with this”. Can we follow where Jesus is going today? Yes if we learn from Him as a perpetual teacher and leader: If we let His actions be part of our lives. We can let Him make His workings evident to us and let Him guiide our ways and thinking and as we realise what He is doing we can go along with it and welcome its outcomes and fit our plans to these.
