Revelation 7:11 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 7:11

And all the angels stood round about the throne
The holy and elect angels, even all of them, the ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, the innumerable company of them, who are represented in the same position; (See Gill on Revelation 5:11);

and [about] the elders, and the four beasts;
the churches and ministers; yea, round about the great multitude before mentioned, the camp of the saints, and the beloved city; whose guardians they will be, and to whom they will always be ministering spirits.

And fell before the throne on their faces:
in token of submission and reverence:

and worshipped God;
by celebrating the perfections of his nature, and ascribing to him the glory of all his works.

Revelation 7:11 In-Context

9 After this I looked, and there in front of me was a huge crowd of people. They stood in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb. There were so many that no one could count them. They came from every nation, tribe, people and language. They were wearing white robes. In their hands they were holding palm branches.

10 They cried out in a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne. Salvation also belongs to the Lamb."

11 All the angels were standing around the throne. They were standing around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces in front of the throne and worshiped God.

12 They said, "Amen! May praise and glory and wisdom be given to our God for ever and ever. Give him thanks and honor and power and strength. Amen!"

13 Then one of the elders spoke to me. "Who are these people dressed in white robes?" he asked. "Where did they come from?"
