Read Rev. 21:1-8. What is similar, and what is different in the two passages?

What is the significance of the white robes and the palm branches (see v.14)?
What is this multitude doing in heaven? How is this significant?
What is their reward?
The promise at the end of 17 is repeated again in chapter 21, word for word. Why do you think that this is so?
