Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 5:11-14

Revelation 5:11-14. And I beheld The many angels; and heard the voice And the number of them; round about the throne Of the Divine Majesty; and the living creatures and the elders So forming the third circle. It is remarkable that men are represented, through the whole vision, as nearer to God than any of the angels. And the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands An innumerable multitude. And yet these are but a part of the holy angels;... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 5:1-14

Vision of the Lamb (5:1-14)In the hand of the Almighty is a scroll, which no doubt contains the revelation that John is to receive. Like most important documents it is sealed. In fact, it has seven seals, and these can be broken only by someone with the authority to do so. Since the scroll will reveal matters of worldwide importance, the person to break these seals must be one who has authority over the world’s affairs. John weeps when it appears that no one in all creation can be found who is... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 5:14

And the four living creatures said, Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped.Amen ... "This word confirms the preceding doxology, and is one of three ways in which the word 'Amen' is used in Revelation."[49] These are: a final "Amen" is used with no change of speaker (Revelation 1:6,7); the "Amen" as a name of God (Revelation 3:14); and the detached "Amen," as here. It is also used as both the beginning and the ending of a passage (Revelation 7:12).Moffatt's comment on this chapter is:By... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 5:14

Revelation 5:14. And the four beasts said, Amen,— It was the custom in the temple worship for the singers to make pauses. "In every Psalm, (say the Talmudists,) the music made three intermissions. At these intermissions the trumpets sounded, and the people worshipped!" Inferences.—It should fill us with unutterable joy, when we lift up our eyes to the throne of God, that we there discern the Lamb wearing the marks of slaughter. We should then gratefully remember his dying love; for it is his... read more

14. said—So A, Vulgate, and Syriac read. But B and Coptic read, "(I heard) saying." Amen—So A reads. But B reads, "the (accustomed) Amen." As in :-, the four and twenty elders asserted God's worthiness to receive the glory, as having created all things, so here the four living creatures ratify by their "Amen" the whole creation's ascription of the glory to Him. four and twenty—omitted in the oldest manuscripts: Vulgate supports it. him that liveth for ever and ever—omitted in all the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 5:14

The worship culminated in John’s vision with the four creatures saying "Amen" repeatedly after the vast crowd fell silent. The elders worshipped by prostrating themselves before God’s throne (cf. Revelation 4:10). [Note: See David J. MacLeod, "The Adoration of God the Redeemer: An Exposition of Revelation 5:8-14," Bibliotheca Sacra 164:656 (October-December 2007):454-71, for another exposition of this pericope.] These chapters (4-5) present heaven, God’s dwelling place, as a real place.

The Glory of the LambThe Church is shown that Christ is on her side. He has overcome by suffering. Now the future is for Him and His people, and He is worshipped with the Father.1-4. A roll of a book, covered with writing on both sides, signifying the full contents of God’s purposes for the future (cp. Ezekiel 2:9.), ’close sealed’ (RV) with seven seals, i.e. completely hidden from the knowledge of angels and men, rests on the outstretched right hand of ’Him that sitteth on the throne,’... read more
