啟示錄 7:11 RCUVTS

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Revelation 7:1-17

CHAPTER V.CONSOLATORY VISIONS.Revelation 7:1-17.SIX of the seven Seals have been opened by the "Lamb," who is likewise the "Lion of the tribe of Judah." They have dealt, in brief but pregnant sentences, with the whole history of the Church and of the world throughout the Christian age. No details of history have indeed been spoken of, no particular wars, or famines, or pestilences, or slaughters, or preservations of the saints. Everything has been described in the most general terms. We have... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Revelation 7:1-17

CHAPTER 7 Revelation 7:1-8 . This is the first parenthesis. It must not be taken chronologically. The six seal judgments extend over the entire period of the ending age. The rider upon the white horse will be on the scene to the end, wars will continue to the end, and culminate in the battle of Armageddon, and so do the famines and pestilences. And the sixth seal brings the end in view. We shall see the correspondence with the seventh trumpet and seventh vial later. The trumpet and vial... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 7:1-17

Two Intervening Visions This entire chapter intervenes between the sixth and seventh seals. Similarly, between the sixth and seventh trumpets, we shall see an even longer intervention (Revelation 10:1 -Revelation 11:14). The last seal will not be opened until it is made clear that divine sovereignty has decreed the salvation and preservation of a great number in Israel (represented by the 144,000) and a great number of Gentiles who will come out of the Tribulation with the blessing of God.... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Revelation 7:1-17

THE SEVEN SEALS This section might also be entitled “The things which shall be hereafter.” It is assumed that the true church is not upon the earth at the beginning of chapter 4, but that the translation of 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 has taken place. Christendom is here, but the church is with the Lord in the air. To some this may seem a bold assumption, but not to those who have pursued the study of the earlier books in this commentary. To them it will appear natural and proper that the church... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Revelation 7:9-12

(9) After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; (10) And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. (11) And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 7:9-12

9-12 The first fruits of Christ having led the way, the Gentiles converted later follow, and ascribe their salvation to God and the Redeemer, with triumph. In acts of religious worship we come nigh to God, and must come by Christ; the throne of God could not be approached by sinners, were it not for a Mediator. They were clothed with the robes of justification, holiness, and victory; and they had palms in their hands, as conquerors used to appear in their triumphs. Such a glorious appearance... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Revelation 7:1-99

Revelation 7 THE SIXTH SEAL had now been opened, and John does not see the opening of the seventh till Revelation 8.0 is reached. Chapter 7 therefore presents us with a parenthetical interlude in which we have recorded Divine activities and their fruits before we see even more serious judgments falling on the earth. True to the order which runs consistently through the Scriptures, we have the Jew first and after that the Gentile. There is a brief pause in the Divine dealings. The sixth seal... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 7:11-17

The Joyous Service of the White-robed Throng Revelation 7:11-17 No nation has a monopoly of saints. No tribe is unrepresented. No language is so rude that its children may not learn the speech of heaven. The theology of heaven attributes salvation to God as its source through Jesus as its medium. Palm branches symbolize victory and the white robes, transfiguring purity. “His raiment became white and dazzling,” Luke 9:29 , r.v. Thus it was spoken of the transfigured Christ. Notice that... read more
