The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 5:8-10

The song of the redeemed host. The triumphant host, the redeemed possession, purchased unto God, give their glory. The whole Church in their representatives give ceaseless praise to him who in humility bare their sins in his own body on the tree. I. THE SONG OF THE CHURCH IS EVER UNTO , AND IN PRAISE OF , THE LAMB . Never can those harps be unstrung; never can the song of redemption cease to mingle with the song of the universe. Ever will he be "matter of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 5:9

And they sung a new song, saying . They sing; the worship is unceasing. The song is new because it is only now, subsequent to the accomplishment of Christ's work of redemption, that the song can be sung. It is not" Thou art worthy, for thou wilt redeem," but "thou didst redeem." Victorinus says, "It is the preaching of the Old Testament together with that of the New which enables the world to sing a new song." Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof. (For a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 5:9-14

The triple doxology. In these sublime chapters these doxologies stand out prominently. Note concerning them— I. WHAT IS COMMON TO THEM ALL . They are all ascribed to the Lamb. Exclusively in the first two; united with "him that sitteth on the throne," in the third; but in all the Lamb is prominent. From this we learn: 1 . We cannot render too much honour to Christ. He is seen "in the midst of the throne," and the Centre of all that heavenly circle, and the Object of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 5:10

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests; and didst make them to be unto our God a kingdom and priests. Of those whom thou didst redeem from every nation, thou didst make a kingdom and priests. Wordsworth remarks that these honours conferred upon the redeemed imply duties as well as privileges. They receive the princely honours conferred upon them only on condition that they also become priests, presenting themselves, their souls and bodies, a living sacrifice to God ( Romans 12:1 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 5:11

And I beheld marks a new feature of the vision, viz. the introduction of the angelic host as taking part in the adoration of the Lamb (see on Revelation 4:1 ). And heard the voice of many angels ; a voice. The angels who have "desired to look into" the mystery of the redemption of the world ( 1 Peter 1:12 ) have now had declared to them "by the Church the manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord" ( Ephesians 3:10 , ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 5:11-14

The angelic and universal chorus. Now the song bursts out beyond the circles of the redeemed host. "The voice of many angels," even "ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands," bears onwards the same burden of song, "Worthy is the Lamb," and the chorus is completed only when it is taken up by "every created thing which is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea;" and the song ascribes "the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 5:9

And they sung a new song - Compare Revelation 14:3. New in the sense that it is a song consequent on redemption, and distinguished therefore from the songs sung in heaven before the work of redemption was consummated. We may suppose that songs of adoration have always been sung in heaven; we know that the praises of God were celebrated by the angelic choirs when the foundations of the earth were laid Job 38:7; but the song of redemption was a different song, and is one that would never have... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 5:10

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests - See the notes on Revelation 1:6.And we shall reign on the earth - The redeemed, of whom we are the representatives. The idea clearly is, in accordance with what is so frequently said in the Scriptures, that the dominion on the earth will be given to the saints; that is, that there will be such a prevalence of true religion, and the redeemed will be so much in the ascendency, that the affairs of the nations will be in their hands. Righteous... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 5:11

And I beheld - And I looked again.And I heard the voice of many angels - The inhabitants of heaven uniting with the representatives of the redeemed church in ascribing honor to the Lamb of God. The design is to show that there is universal sympathy and harmony in heaven, and that all worlds will unite in ascribing honor to the Lamb of God.Round about the throne and the beasts and the elders - In a circle or area beyond what was occupied by the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. They... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 5:8-10

Revelation 5:8-10. And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures fell down Now is homage done to the Lamb by the whole Christian Church and all its members, represented by these four living creatures. These, together with the elders, make the beginning, and afterward ( Rev 5:14 ) the conclusion. They are together surrounded with a multitude of angels, (Revelation 5:11,) and together sing the new song, as they had before praised God together, Revelation 4:8, &c. Having... read more
