Robertson Word Pictures - Revelation 7:10 - 7:10


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

They cry (krazousi). Vivid dramatic present.

With a great voice (phōnēi megalēi). As in Rev 6:10; Rev 7:2. “The polyglott multitude shouts its praises as with one voice” (Swete).

Salvation (hē sōtēria). As in Rev 12:10; Rev 19:1. Nominative absolute. Salvation here is regarded as an accomplished act on the part of those coming out of the great tribulation (Rev 7:14) and the praise for it is given to God (tōi theōi, dative case) and to the Lamb (tōi arniōi, dative also). Both God and Christ are thus called sōtēr as in the Pastoral Epistles, as to God (1Ti 1:1; 1Ti 2:3; Tit 1:3; Tit 3:4) and to Christ (Tit 1:4; Tit 2:13; Tit 3:6). For hē sōtēria see Joh 4:22; Act 4:12; Jud 1:3.
