Revelation 7:16 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 7:16

They shall hunger no more, nor thirst any more
The words are taken out of ( Isaiah 49:10 ) , and will be true in a literal and corporeal sense. Now the saints are often in hunger and thirst, then they shall be so no more; and in a mystical and spiritual sense, there will be no famine of the word; for though there will not be the outward ministration of the word, as now, the substance of it will be enjoyed, to full satisfaction; nor will there be any uneasy desires after spiritual things, and much less any hungerings and thirstings, or lusting after carnal, sensual, and earthly things.

Neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat;
not the sun of persecution, see ( Matthew 13:6 Matthew 13:22 ) ; nor the heat of Satan's temptations, or his fiery darts; nor of any fiery trial, or sore affliction; nor of the divine displeasure, or any fearful sense and apprehension of it; nor of toil and labour, called the burden and heat of the day, from all which they will be now free.

Revelation 7:16 In-Context

14 Taken aback, I said, "O Sir, I have no idea - but you must know."

15 That's why they're standing before God's Throne. They serve him day and night in his Temple. The One on the Throne will pitch his tent there for them:

16 no more hunger, no more thirst, no more scorching heat.

17 The Lamb on the Throne will shepherd them, will lead them to spring waters of Life. And God will wipe every last tear from their eyes."
