Revelation 7:11, 12

Revelation 7:11, 12

Revelation 7:11 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,

Revelation 7:12 saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen."

Awesome scene!

What a dramatic and awesome scene! Combining with the great praise service of the Redeemed, the heavenly beings now unite their voices in the great chorus. All heaven is touched as the Redeemed testify of their experiences.

There is joy in the presence of God among these holy spirits when one sinner repents, no wonder that they take such an interest in the gathering together of such innumerable multitudes who are fully saved from their sins.

Remembering Yahshua word

When we see these verses(11 & 12) one thing we need to remember what Jesus told Luke 15:7

Luke 15:7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

Here our Lord Yahshua was expressed, what will happen in heaven if one person repentance on earth. According to Apostle John’s vision we are able to understand that innumerable people repent their self and standing in front of throne and the Lamp.

   Let us also imagine how much joy full movement will take place in the heaven. This verse 11 and  12 is express to us that joy full moment.

   Reasons for Joy full movement

1.      144,000 people will be repented and they got seal form the God. They all will not going hurt by God’s wrath.

2.      Many martyr, rapture, during the rapture who and taken into heaven is listed in the 1 Ths. 4:16, 17.

a.      “…the dead in Christ shall rise first” (16)

b.      “…we which are alive  and remain shall be caught up together”  (17)

3.      Whoever died as martyr during the tribulation period according to revelation 6:11

“…until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled”. Now the number is full filled according to God.

Because of this John is writing here “All angles...elders and the four living creatures and redeemed souls (rev. 7:9) ” . All are assembled in the same place and giving their benediction.

A sevenfold benediction

The angels and the saved already present join in the praise, offering a sevenfold benediction to God. Since all in heaven agree with and participate in God's plan, all are thankful for its fulfillment. The angels standing around the throne represents the great quantity of "adorers of God" in heaven, “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” There are seven points in the praise of God by all the heavenly host about the throne in response to the great multitude’s praise:

1. Praise - zamar means to make music or sing praises.

2.      Wisdom – Colossians 2:3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

3. Thanks - 1 Corinthians 15:57 …thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
4. Glory
5.  Honor
6. Power - Revelation 4:11 "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory [4] and honor[5] and power[6], for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created."
7. Strength - Strength is a mixture of perseverance and faith. Strength is the quality of being able to purge through tough, heinous or heartbreaking times, situations, feelings and emotions where others woul think it normal or expect you to give up. True strength is relying on the lord, his guidance and leadership, while you are undergoing the pain and suffering. True strength is saying "I will not give up". Psalm 84:7 They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

Another Angle

Amen used in the beginning

This is heard at the beginning of the tribulation.. Amen usually is a concluding statement in prayer or praise. But it is followed buy a doxology. This doxology has seven powerful words.
In another angle we can see this situation; the seven words may be associated with completion in the end of time. These words describe God perfectly, but also may be a prayer for the end of time and the judgment. This may also show that God's plan and design of the end of time, as well as heaven is complete and perfect. The saved in heaven will experience complete and perfect happiness though God's design and his sacrifice of Christ Jesus. A word on translation. The word Amen comes from the Hebrew root for firm, and by extension, truly, solidly, absolutely. It is an indication that this is an absolute. All Blessings, and all Glory, and all wisdom, and all thanksgiving, and all honor, and power and might be unto "our" God. Absolutely! Truly!
