Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 7:17

Revelation 7:17. For the Lamb, &c.— Interpreters are not agreed in the proper meaning of this description. Some understand it of the peaceful and prosperous state of the church on earth; and certainly, in some cases, very strong expressions of prophetic style are to be softened to a sense which will agree to a happy state of the church in this world. But others, who observe the force of these expressions, and how much they agree with the descriptions of the new heavens and new earth, ch. 21... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 7:9-17

2. The salvation of the great multitude 7:9-17There are a number of significant contrasts between the 144,000 and this great multitude that argue for two different groups even though some scholars have considered the two groups as one viewed from different perspectives. [Note: E.g., Beale, p. 424.] The number of the first group is not only smaller but definite whereas the number of the second group is larger and indefinite. People from the 12 tribes of Israel make up the first group, but people... read more

They will no longer experience the privations and discomforts of their earthly existence (cf. Isaiah 49:10, LXX; John 4:14; John 6:35; John 7:37). The Lamb, now seen standing before the middle of the throne, will provide for them as a good shepherd takes care of his sheep (cf. Psalms 23:1-4; Isaiah 40:11; Ezekiel 34:23; John 10:11; John 10:14; Hebrews 13:20; 1 Peter 2:25; 1 Peter 5:2-4). He will refresh them as well as protect them (cf. Exodus 15:13; Deuteronomy 1:33; Psalms 5:11-12; Psalms... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 7:1-17

The RedeemedTwo visions interposed between the sixth and seventh seals. There are similar episodes between the sixth and seventh trumpets and bowls.1-3. Four angels are holding in check the four winds of God’s judgments (Revelation 7:1), and are ordered not to release them until God’s servants are sealed, i.e. marked as His: cp. Ezekiel 9:4; Ephesians 1:13; Ephesians 4:30; 2 Timothy 2:19; (Revelation 7:2.). These four winds may be the horsemen of Revelation 6:1. The meaning is, that Christians... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 7:16

(16) They shall hunger no more . . .—Better, They shall not hunger any more, nor yet thirst any more; neither at all shall the sun light upon them, nor any heat. The negatives are emphatic, and rise in force as the verse proceeds. None of the privations which they have endured for Christ’s sake shall trouble them; none of the dissatisfactions and weariness of life shall afflict them; for hunger, thirst, and fatigue will be no more, for the former things are passed away (Revelation 21:3-4). And... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 7:17

(17) For the Lamb . . .—Translate, Because the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall tend them, and shall lead them to fountains of waters of life (or, life-springs of waters); and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes. The Lamb is described as “the Lamb in the midst of the throne.” The writer told in Revelation 5:6 that he had seen a Lamb in the midst of the throne. When he looked towards the throne, he saw the Lamb as the central object immediately in front of it. He who... read more
