Clarke's Bible Commentary - Revelation 7:12
Verse 12. Saying, Amen] Giving their most cordial and grateful assent to the praises attributed to God and the Lamb. Blessing, and glory, &c.] There are here seven different species of praise attributed to God, as in chap. v. 12, where see the note.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. Saying, Amen , etc.] As approving and confirming what the great multitude of men had said in ( Revelation 7:10); in ascribing the glory of salvation to God, and the Lamb: the angels, though they have no part in it themselves, yet highly approve of it as right and just, that men should give the glory of it where it is due. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen . Here a seven fold praise is given to God by the angels, as to the Lamb, in ( Revelation 5:12), and in words much the same they rightly ascribe blessing to God, who is blessed in himself, and is the source of all blessedness to his creatures, angels and men. And also glory; the glory of his divine perfections, who is the God of glory; and of all his works of nature and providence, and especially of the salvation of men by Christ. And wisdom; he being the only wise God, whose wisdom is to be seen in all the works of creation, and in the government of the world, and in nothing more than in the scheme of redemption by the Son of God: and thanksgiving: for all mercies and favours, temporal, spiritual, and eternal, enjoyed by angels, or by men: and honour; which is due to him from all his creatures, as he is the Creator of them; and from all his children, as he is their Father; and from all his servants, as he their master: and power: which he has exerted, in making all things out of nothing, in supporting the whole universe in its being, and in saving and preserving his own people: and might; or strength, he being the almighty God, the strength of Israel, and the rock of ages, in whom is everlasting strength; and the praise and ascription of all this, the angels wish to be given him by themselves and others, to all eternity; and as desiring that so it might be, and as believing that so it would be, they add their to it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-12 - The first fruits of Christ having led the way, the Gentiles converte later follow, and ascribe their salvation to God and the Redeemer, with triumph. In acts of religious worship we come nigh to God, and mus come by Christ; the throne of God could not be approached by sinners were it not for a Mediator. They were clothed with the robes of justification, holiness, and victory; and they had palms in their hands, as conquerors used to appear in their triumphs. Such a glorious appearance will the faithful servants of God make at last, when the have fought the good fight of faith, and finished their course. With loud voice they gave to God and the Lamb the praise of the grea salvation. Those who enjoy eternal happiness must and will bless bot the Father and the Son; they will do it publicly, and with fervour. We see what is the work of heaven, and we ought to begin it now, to have our hearts much in it, and to long for that world where our praises, a well as our happiness, will be made perfect.
