A Multitude from the Great Tribulation

9 After these things I looked, and behold, aa great multitude which no one could number, bof all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, cclothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,  
10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, a“Salvation belongs to our God bwho sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”  
11 aAll the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and bworshiped God,  
12 asaying:
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”  
13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in awhite robes, and where did they come from?”  
14 And I said to him,1 “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, a“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and bwashed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.  
15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will adwell among them.  
16 aThey shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; bthe sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;

Revelation 7:11

Were standing (isthkeisan). Past perfect active of isthmi intransitive and used like an imperfect as in John 19:25.

Round about (kuklw). Preposition (in a circle) with genitive as in Revelation 4:6; Revelation 5:11. The angels here rejoice in the salvation of men (Luke 15:7, Luke 15:10; I Peter 1:12).

Upon their faces (epi ta proswpa autwn). In reverential worship of God as in Revelation 11:16. For this worship (fell and worshipped) see also Revelation 4:10; Revelation 5:14; Revelation 11:16; Revelation 19:4, Revelation 19:10; Revelation 22:8. The dative tw qew (God) with proskunew (to worship) is the usual construction for that meaning. When it means merely to do homage the accusative case is usual in this book (Charles). But in the Fourth Gospel the reverse order is true as to the cases with proskunew (Abbott, Joh. Vocab. pp. 138-142).
