Revelation 7:10

8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.

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.

They cry (krazousi). Vivid dramatic present.

With a great voice (fwnh megalh). As in Revelation 6:10; Revelation 7:2. "The polyglott multitude shouts its praises as with one voice" (Swete).

Salvation (h swthria). As in Revelation 12:10; Revelation 19:1. Nominative absolute. Salvation here is regarded as an accomplished act on the part of those coming out of the great tribulation (verse Revelation 7:14) and the praise for it is given to God (tw qew, dative case) and to the Lamb (tw arniw, dative also). Both God and Christ are thus called swthr as in the Pastoral Epistles, as to God (I Timothy 1:1; I Timothy 2:3; Titus 1:3; Titus 3:4) and to Christ (Titus 1:4; Titus 2:13; Titus 3:6). For h swthria see John 4:22; Acts 4:12; Judges 1:3.
