We are moving right along in chapter 7 of John's visions of Christ, as we are living in the grips of GOD in us, as He was in the son of man, Jesus, known as the Christ. Signifying that GOD was in His flesh as a human being, the meaning of the Hebrew word Emmanuel. The man of promise as speaken of in Genesis 3:15, where the word "heel" was introduced. And the gates of Hades (hell) cannot prevail against, though they may burst His heel, He'll burst their head (diabalo), meaning that they would recover from their bursting for a while. With the word "heel," we have found that in its origin base of French / Latin: means religare, from which the word "religion" springs and that they both mean to resist, hinder, restrain, hold back, by distorting, twisting, perversion of perspective, denial of, truth. Okay, enough of our review of the effects of the fruit of the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil, we shall move on in chapter 7 with verse 9.
Revelation 7:9-12 "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; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen." (KJV)
Revelation 7:9-12 "After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen." (ESV)
Revelation 7:9-12 "At this moment I saw a massive throng of people, impossible to count, standing tall and innocent-every one of them [1]dressed in white with palm branches in their hands; they [1]escaped everything that could possibly define them as a non-Jewish, Gentile world! In fact, every sphere of society was there-including the entire spectrum of people-groupings; all tribal identities with their unique language-specific dialect preferences, they were all present facing the Throne and the Lamb as the people of the planet! ( Is in it Amazing how, in the previous verses of this chapter, the tribes of Israel are associated with a very specific "number," emphasizing the prophetic detail of the entire Jewish nation. But here, John sees a massive throng of people, impossible to count! In Israel there is a prophetic voice of GOD'S intention to release the blessing of the SEED of GOD'S faith through Abraham and bless all the nations of the earth! "Count the stars, count the sand!"
The word, [1, G4749 from G4724 from the base of G2476] stolay, is the white outer garment worn by kings, priests, and persons of rank. The palm branches and the white robes are signs of the celebration of victory and joy. The preposition [1, G1537] ek, points to source or origin; humanity was delivered out of their national society is addressed in the most all-inclusive fashion, with a similar grouping of words. Rev. 5:9, here in Rev. 7:9, 10:11, 11:9, 13:7, 14:6 and 17:15. Also on note is Rev. 5:13 and 11:15. Look for the extended notes on Israel at the end of Rev. 20.
I lookes again and saw a huge crowd, too huge to count. Everyone was there --- all nations and tribes, all races and languages. And they were standing, dressed in white robes and waving palm branches, standing before the Throne and the Lamb. The Message.) Then I heard the masses shouting as if with one thunderous voice saying, "Our salvation is secure in GOD who is seated upon the Throne and endorsed in the Lamb's doings!" And the multitude of Angelic Shepherd-Messengers engulfing the Throne together with the Elders and the four Ling Beings fell on their faces before the Throne and they worshiped GOD. (Rev. 5:11-14, Then I saw wave upon wave of innumerable Angelic Shepherd-Messengers engulfing the Throne and the Elders and the Living Beings and I heard singing! It was a mass choir of multi-millions! In their full capacity they exploded in song, proclaiming in unison, "The Lamb's worth is now fully realized! Having been slain in sacrifice, the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing belong to the Lamb! At that point the entire universe bursts out in praise! I heard every created being in the heavenly realm and upon the earth and under the earth, and upon the ocean and everything within all these spheres, declaring to the One seated upon the Throne and to the Lamb: "The most [1]articulate language, the admiration, the supreme magnificence, the might until the ages of the ages! [The word [1, G2129 from the same as G2127 eulogeō, from a compound of G2095 and G3056 ] eulogia, is from (G2095) eu, good, well done, and (G3056) logos, thus polished language; such language which is artfully adapted to captivate the hearer: fair speaking, fine speeches.) To which the four Living Beings added their endorsement and the Elders fell down in silent worship!) They added their Amen to confirm everything declared by the masses of humanity, they then proclaimed in the most reverent adoration [this time voicing each of the seven attributes of their admiration of GOD in separate feminine articles, thus acknowledging her Majesty, the Holy Spirit] her [1]most eloquent language, her [2]magnificence, her [3]unveiling of wisdom's mysteries, her [4]extravagant generosity, her [5]preciousness and infinite worth, her [6]dynamic and her [7]strength are [8]located in our GOD, spanning across the ages of eternity! (The word [1, G2129] eulogia, is from (G2095) eu, good, well done, and (G3056) logos, thus polished language, such language which is artfully adapted to captivate the hearer: fair speaking, fine speeches; the [2, G1391] doxa - in the sacred writers always of a good or favorable opinion, the admiration, the supreme magnificence; the [3, G4678] sophia , wisdom, clarity; extravagant generosity, [4, G2169 from G2170 eucharistos, from G2095 and a derivative of G5483 ] eucharistia - is from (G2095) eu, well and (G5483) charitsomai, to give freely; the word [5, G5092 from G5099 tinō] timay, speaks of honor, preciousness and worth; [6, G1411] dunamis, dynamic, power; [7, G2479] ischus strength, ability and might. Located in GOD - [8, G2257 genitive plural of G1473 egō] to theo hemoon - Dative-indirect, "to;" also location "in.") (The Mirror, with editing.)
Still more to come before we find the seven seal, until then may the LORD increase our knowledge and understanding of Him.
