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 5:12

saying with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that hath been slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honor, and glory, and blessing.It is hardly profitable to dwell upon each one of the seven "receivables" in this overwhelming doxology; because even they do not exhaust the worthiness of the Lamb; but rather, in there being seven of them (the number of perfection), they stand for the infinite perfection and worthiness of Jesus Christ our Lord. Practically all of the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 5:12

12. to receive power—Greek, "the power." The remaining six (the whole being seven, the number for perfection and completeness) are all, as well as "power," ranged under the one Greek article, to mark that they form one complete aggregate belonging to God and His co-equal, the Lamb. Compare :-, where each of all seven has the article. riches—both spiritual and earthly. blessing—ascribed praise: the will on the creature's part, though unaccompanied by the power, to return blessing for blessing... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 5:12

The Lamb deserves all power, riches, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing. All seven qualities belong intrinsically to Christ."The angels use seven expressions (the perfect number is probably significant) to indicate the wonder of the Lamb." [Note: Morris, p. 101.] The repetition of "and" (Gr. kai) between each quality brings special emphasis to each one individually. This is a literary device called polysyndeton. It "produces the impression of extensiveness and abundance by means of an... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 5:1-14

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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 5:12

(12) Saying with a loud voice . . .—The second chorus: the chorus of angels—“Worthy is the Lamb,That hath been slain,To receive the power.And riches, and wisdom, and might,And honour, and glory, and blessing.”The doxology is seven-fold. We have noticed (Revelation 1:6) the increasing strength of the doxologies in which the redeemed take part. This, though a sevenfold one, does not interrupt that advance of praise; for in this chorus the redeemed do not take part. The definite article is... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Revelation 5:1-14

Three Views of Man's Destiny 1. Pessimism Revelation 5:4 This is a mysterious passage in a mysterious book, but the fact that interpretation may easily become ridiculous should not debar us from the beauty and the power of one of the greatest and most picturesque of Scriptural poetic images. God is on His throne, but He is left undescribed, and we see only His hand holding a sealed book. What concerns us especially is the group of three figures which represent three of the main attitudes of... read more
