WHAT TIME IT IS®™
REVELATION 7 Pg 2
The Church is
seen for the first time in heaven
7:9 After this [literally, after these things—after
the opening of the
6th seal and
its cataclysms, and the sealing of the 144,000 (Rev.
7:4)]
[1] I beheld, and, lo,
[a.]
a great
multitude
[this is the first reference to a multitude of redeemed
men and women in heaven in the Book of
Revelation],
[11.]
which no man could
number,
of
[12.] all nations
[#1484, ethnos, race ], and
[13.] [all] kindreds
[#5443, phule, clan, kindred, tribe], and
[14.] [all] people
[2992, laos, a people], and
[15.] [all] tongues [#1100,
glossa, tongue, language; these four
attributes unquestionably describe the world
(Rev.
11:9), from which the
Church
is taken
(Rev. 5:9),
[aa.] stood [a badge of redemption (Luke
21:36)]
[111.]
before
the throne, and
[112.]
before
the Lamb,
[113.] clothed with white robes [the
robe of righteousness (vs. 13;
Rev.
19:8)], and
[114.] palms [a
symbol of victory (John 12:13)] in their hands;
[ab.] cried with a loud voice, saying,
[111.] Salvation [we made it]
[aaa.] to our God
[1111.]
which sitteth upon the throne, and
[aab.] unto the Lamb.
Angelic
worship
7:11 And all
the angels
[1] stood
[a.] round about the throne, and
[b.] [round about] the elders and
[c.] [round about] the four beasts, and
[2] fell before the throne on
their faces,
[a.] and worshipped God,
7:12 [3] Saying, Amen: [c/p.
Rev. 5:12]
[a.] Blessing, and
[b.] glory, and
[c.] wisdom, and
[d.] thanksgiving, and
[e.] honour, and
[f.] power, and
[g.] might,
[be] unto our God for ever
and ever. Amen.
The great tribulation: the first 3 ½ years of the Antichrist Covenant week of years
7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying
unto me,
[1] What are these which are arrayed
[a.] in white robes?
[ vs. 9] and
[2] whence came they?
7:14
And
[1] I said unto him,
[a.]
Sir, thou knowest. And
[2] he
said to me,
[a.]
These are they
which
[11.] came out of great tribulation [lit. the tribulation, the great—the
first 3 ½ years of the
Antichrist Covenant week of years (this is the only New Testament passage where both the words
"tribulation"
and "great"
in the original language are used with the definite article: which indicates
a very definite and fixed period of time; in addition, there is no Scripture
in the entire Bible which teaches that the Antichrist Covenant
week of years is “the 7-year tribulation period”, c/p. Dan.
9:24-27—see
Seven Prophetic Pictures of the Rapture)], and
[b.] have washed their robes (Rev.
19:8), and
[c.] made them white in the blood of the Lamb [born again].
[11.] before
the throne of God, and
[12.] serve
him day and night in his temple: and
[aa.] he that sitteth on the throne [the Father (Rev. 4:2, Rev. 4:10; Rev. 5:7, Rev. 5;13; Rev. 7:10)]
[ab.] shall dwell among them. [These are rewards
to the Church (c/p.
Rev. 3:12)]
[11.] hunger
no more, neither
[12.] thirst
any more; neither shall
[13.] the
sun light on them,
[14.] nor
any heat.
7:17 [f.] For
the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne
[11.] shall feed them, and
[12.] shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and
[13.] God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes.
*** These died:
[a.] hungry,
[b.] thirsty,
[c.] scorched by the sun,
[d.] overcome by heat, and
[e.]
crying [because of how they were killed, (c/p. (Rev. 20:4)]
