How does Revelation address the question of who can stand before God?

Answered in 1 source

Revelation highlights that only those adorned in the Lamb's righteousness can stand before God without fear.

The book of Revelation poses the critical question, 'Who shall be able to stand?' It emphasizes that those in the presence of God must be clothed in the righteousness of the Lamb. Unlike the kings and mighty men of the earth who try to hide from God's wrath, the redeemed multitude stands unashamed and unafraid because they come dressed in the perfect righteousness of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). This assertion showcases sovereign grace's claim that entrance into God's presence is solely based on the work of Christ, underscoring the grace that transforms and perfects the believer into a suitable vessel for divine communion.
