Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 5:11

(11) And I beheld . . .—More literally, And I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels around the throne, and the living beings, and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands. The chorus of the redeemed is followed by a chorus of angels; for “that which is the highest act of love, towards whatever persons it was manifested, from whatever calamities it saved them, must be the highest manifestation of the divine character and will; therefore must be the... read more

(12) Saying with a loud voice . . .—The second chorus: the chorus of angels—“Worthy is the Lamb,That hath been slain,To receive the power.And riches, and wisdom, and might,And honour, and glory, and blessing.”The doxology is seven-fold. We have noticed (Revelation 1:6) the increasing strength of the doxologies in which the redeemed take part. This, though a sevenfold one, does not interrupt that advance of praise; for in this chorus the redeemed do not take part. The definite article is... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 5:13

(13) And every creature . . .—The third chorus: the chorus of the universe. The song of the redeemed, echoed by the hosts of angels, is now merged in the utterance of all. “Every creature which is in the heaven, and upon the earth, and beneath the earth, and upon the sea, and all the things that are in them, heard I saying—“To Him that sitteth upon the throne,And to the Lamb,(Be) the blessing, and the honour,And the glory, and the might,To the ages of the ages.”The song of praise rises from all... read more

Three Views of Man's Destiny 1. Pessimism Revelation 5:4 This is a mysterious passage in a mysterious book, but the fact that interpretation may easily become ridiculous should not debar us from the beauty and the power of one of the greatest and most picturesque of Scriptural poetic images. God is on His throne, but He is left undescribed, and we see only His hand holding a sealed book. What concerns us especially is the group of three figures which represent three of the main attitudes of... read more

Revelation 5:1-3 . Much has been written about the meaning of the book written within and on the back side, and sealed with seven seals. What the book contains is no secret whatever. Beginning with the sixth chapter the seals are opened and after they are all broken the contents of the book are made known. The book contains the judgments for this earth preceding His coming in power and glory and the beginning of His reign. It is, therefore, the book of the righteous judgments of God, preceding... read more

5:8 {9} And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them {10} harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the {a} prayers of saints.(9) Now follows the end, the events of the revelation previously spoken of: that all the holy angels and men sang to him: both the chief Revelation 5:9-10 and common order of angels Revelation 5:11-12 and of all things created Revelation 5:13 the princes of both sorts agreeing to... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Revelation 5:9

5:9 And they sung a {b} new {11} song, saying, {12} Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;(b) No common song.(11) That is, composed according to the present matter, the Lamb having received the book as it were with his feet and opened it with his horns, as it is said in the Song of Solomon(12) The song of the nobles or princes standing by the throne,... read more

5:11 {13} And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: {14} and the number of them was {c} ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;(13) The consent of the common order of angels, answering in melody to their princes that stood by the throne.(14) A finite number, but almost infinite, as in Daniel 7:10 .(c) This means a great number. read more
