ヨハネの黙示録 5:5-10 JC

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 5:10

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests ,.... See Gill on Revelation 1:6 . The Alexandrian copy, and Complutensian edition, and the Syriac, Arabic, and the Ethiopic versions, read "them", instead of "us": and we shall reign on the earth ; meaning not merely in a spiritual sense, through grace reigning over sin and corruption, through Satan being bruised under their feet, and through the victory they have in Christ over the world, but in the millennium state, in the thousand... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 5:5

The Lion of the tribe of Juda - Jesus Christ, who sprang from this tribe, as his genealogy proves; see on Matthew 1:2 ; (note), Matthew 1:3 ; (note) and Luke 3:23 ; (note). There is an allusion here to Genesis 49:9 , Judah is a lion's whelp; the lion was the emblem of this tribe, and was supposed to have been embroidered on its ensigns. The Root of David - See Isaiah 11:1 . Christ was the root of David as to his Divine nature; he was a branch out of the stem of Jesse as to his... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 5:6

Stood a Lamb - Christ, so called because he was a sacrificial offering; αρνιον signifies a little or delicate lamb. As it had been slain - As if now in the act of being offered. This is very remarkable; so important is the sacrificial offering of Christ in the sight of God that he is still represented as being in the very act of pouring out his blood for the offenses of man. This gives great advantage to faith: when any soul comes to the throne of grace, he finds a sacrifice there... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 5:7

He came and took the book - This verse may be properly explained by John, John 1:18 . No man hath seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath Declared him. With Jesus alone are all the counsels and mysteries of God. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 5:8

The four beasts - fell down before the Lamb - The whole Church of God, and all his children in heaven and earth, acknowledge that Jesus Christ is alone worthy and able to unfold and execute all the mysteries and counsels of God. See on Revelation 5:9 ; (note). Having every one of them harps - There were harps and vials; and each of the elders and living creatures had one. Odours, which are the prayers of saints - The frankincense and odours offered at the tabernacle were emblems of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 5:9

A new song - Composed on the matters and blessings of the Gospel, which was just now opened on earth. But new song may signify a most excellent song; and by this the Gospel and its blessings are probably signified. The Gospel is called a new song, Psalm 96:1 . And perhaps there is an allusion in the harps here to Psalm 144:9 ; : I will sing a New Song unto thee, O God: upon a Psaltery, and an Instrument of Ten Strings, etc. The same form of speech is found, Isaiah 42:10 ; : Sing unto... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 5:1-5

The government of God. "And I saw," etc. Concerning the government of God, observe— I. THAT IT IS CONDUCTED ACCORDING TO A VAST PRECONCERTED PLAN . There was a book, seven pieces of parchment rolled together, and each one sealed, in the hand of him that "sat on the throne." The Almighty never acts from impulse or caprice, but ever from plan or law. And this plan is truly vast, wonderfully comprehensive. It is "written within" and on the "back side." This book... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 5:1-7

The sealed book. The homily must be based upon the interpretation. For our guidance we take the view which regards this sealed book as a title deed, the background of the figure being found in Jeremiah 32:6-16 . It is the title deed of the purchased possession—the redeemed inheritance—which noone has a right to touch or open but him to whom it belongs; concerning whom it may be said, "The right of redemption is thine to buy it." Concerning "the Lamb," this is recognized by the song of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 5:1-14

Continuation of vision. In the preceding homily we noted that the apostle records five songs. We have already referred to two of them. We now have the three remaining ones before us. 1 . The third song is the new song—of redemption. Creation being effected, what is to be done with it? Of what events is earth to be the scene and the witness? and what are the developments which Providence has in store? See. In the right hand of him who sits upon the throne there is a book—a roll,... read more
