Revelation 7:9 - After these things I looked, and behold, 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,
Now, the aforementioned serves to highlight that "All nations and tribes and peoples and tongues would still be represented in the Kingdom of heaven".
But by no means does it suggest that "All nations and tribes and peoples and tongues are equal in the Kingdom of heaven".
As we know that some countries would always be bigger than others in terms of the sizes of their population, and some races would always have more people than others have - Since the different groups of people (i.e. nations and tribes and peoples and tongues etc) would always comprise different numbers.
Thus, the different groups of people will never be equal in terms of the actual numbers of people who are in each group; and in terms of the actual numbers of people in every group inequality would still prevail in the Kingdom of heaven.
Discuss.
Note: For the purpose of this thread the concept of "social equality" is taken to be more or less the same as the "political equality" between different groups of people.
