“Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.”
Saying, 'Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever. Amen!' — the angels' sevenfold doxology (blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, might) acclaims God's full sovereignty; the doubled amen frames the affirmation as certain and binding.
Church Fathers on Revelation 7:12
“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man was able to number, of every nation, tribe, and people, and tongue, clothed with white robes.” What the great multitude out of every tribe implies, is to show the number of the elect out of all believers, who, being cleansed by baptism in the blood of the Lamb, have made their robes white, keeping the grace which they have received.
