ヨハネの黙示録 7:9 JCB

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 7:1-10

the Multitude before the Throne Revelation 7:1-10 Before times of unusual trial God prepares for the safety of His people. See Genesis 7:1 ; Genesis 19:16 ; Exodus 12:13 ; Ezekiel 9:3-5 ; Matthew 24:15-16 . What a majestic conception this is and how comforting the thought that the winds are controlled by angels, and that the storms which sweep earth and heaven must obey the mandate of eternal love! God’s people are not always saved from trial, but they are kept safe in it. We are sealed... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 7:1-17

Under the sixth seal we have seen and heard the portents of coming divine intervention. At the sounding of the seventh seal these will be resumed. Chapter seven describes a pause, and first deals with events on earth. Restraining angels are seen holding in check the hurricane of divine judgment. After the account of the sealing of an elect number, the seer turns to contemplate a vision in heaven. It is that of a multitude so great that no man could number it. The multitude was diverse and yet... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Revelation 7:9-17

A Great Multitude of Gentile Outcomers Revelation 7:9-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We believe that the Church be raptured before the Tribulation, and that, therefore, the "great multitude" is another company, composed strictly of those saved after the Rapture of the Body of Christ. We propose to give our Scriptural reasons for the Rapture of saints prior to the Tribulation, 1. The Rapture of the Church is before the Tribulation because saints are taught to look for Christ's Corning, and not for the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 7:9

THE SAINTS OF GOD‘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.’ Revelation 7:9 These are the saints of God. They have been men and women like ourselves. They were diverse in character, they had come from all nations, they were equally diverse in experience, they had had helps, but they had had trials and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 7:9

THE FOURTH VISION. The People of God Coming Out of the Great Tribulation Which Is Coming on the Church (Revelation 7:9-17 ). ‘After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, out of every nation, and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands.’ ‘After these things’ usually infers a new vision. This vision is clearly in the future as far as John is concerned, and later... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 7:9-17

Revelation 7:9-Esther : . The Vision of the Redeemed in Heaven.— A great multitude is contrasted with the 144 , 000 , which is a difficulty for the theory that the two visions refer to the same body of Christians.— arrayed in white robes: cf. Revelation 3:5, Revelation 6:11. Charles thinks that these white robes represent the spiritual bodies which the martyrs receive before the final judgment. Revelation 7:11 . throne, elders, living creatures: Revelation 4:4 ; Revelation 4:6 *. The... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 7:9

If we inquire who these were, we are told, Revelation 7:14, by the best Interpreter: These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, & c. So that they do not seem to be the one hundred and forty-four thousand mentioned for preservation in and from the evil, Revelation 7:4, but such as had escaped, or were not in or going into tribulation, but come out. The number of the former was determined; it is said of these, it could not be numbered. These were... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 7:1-17

SEALING OF THE SERVANTS OF GODCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESTHIS chapter is in the nature of an episode. Before the enemies of the gospel are finally destroyed, St. John sees the admission of believers to their blessedness in heaven. The vision has certainly the appearance of being supplementary to the preceding, and seems to refer to the visitation described under various seals, especially the third and sixth, and to represent their universality (“four corners of the earth,” “four winds of the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Revelation 7:9

Revelation 7:9 The Festival of All Saints. The Festival of All Saints is related in conception to, yet distinct from, the Festival of All Angels. For while the latter speaks of angelic victory, the former speaks only of human victory over evil. It was considered to be the feast of the glorification of human nature by Christ. Now what is it which glorifies human nature? It is expressed in the name of this festival: it is saintliness. I. There are many associations into which to enter is fame:... read more
