Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Revelation 7:14-17

DISCOURSE: 2510THE FELICITY OF THE GLORIFIED SAINTSRevelation 7:14-17. These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Revelation 7:1-17

In chapter four of the book of Revelation, we were taken into the heavenly scene where John beholds the throne of God, the cherubim about the throne as they worship God and the twenty-four elders as they respond to that worship.In chapter five, we see the scroll with seven seals within the right hand of Him who sits upon the throne, the scroll being the title deed to the earth. An angel proclaiming who was worthy to take the scroll and loose the seals. We recognize that no man is worthy, no man... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 7:1-17

This whole chapter seems to be an episode, thrown in between the opening of the sixth and the seventh seal. Revelation 7:1 . And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth. East, west, north, and south of the whole Roman world. These angels are variously understood. Dr. Hammond confines the vision chiefly to the affairs of the jews, which does not apparently synchronize with the subsequent events on the church and the world. Storms of wind in prophetic... read more

Revelation 7:9-17A great multitude, which no man could number.The saints in heavenI. What John saw and heard.1. A great multitude of all nations. When John was on earth he saw but few believers. The Church was like a lily in a field of thorns--lambs in the midst of wolves; but now quite different--thorns are plucked away--the lilies innumerable. Every country had its representatives there--some saved out of every land. All were like Christ, and yet all retained their different peculiarities.2.... read more

Revelation 7:15-17Therefore are they before the throne of God.The worship and privileges of the heavenly templeI. What is the nature of that worship which is offered to the Lord in His holy temple in heaven? We may obtain an imperfect answer to this inquiry by contrasting the services of its priests with the polluted offerings of the servants of God below.1. In contrasting the worship of these two worlds we may observe, first, that the worship of heaven is uninterrupted, constant. They who... read more

Revelation 7:16-17They shall hunger no more, neither thirst.Heaven belowI. The perfection of the provision which is enjoyed in heaven.1. The glorified dwell under the shadow of God. It is for this reason that “the sun shall not light on them nor any heat,” because they dwell in God. Oh, what a dwelling-place that will be!2. Next, we are assured that they shall have all their necessities prevented. “They shall hunger no more.” To be supplied when we hunger is the mercy of earth: never to hunger... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 7:17

17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Ver. 17. Shall feed them and lead them ] An allusion to Psalms 23:2 , where David seems to resemble powerful and flourishing doctrine to green pastures, and the secret and sweet comforts of the sacraments to the still waters. And God shall wipe away ] A metaphor from a nurse, which not only suckleth her dear child crying... read more
