Zjv 7, 1-17

1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. 6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. 7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. 8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. 9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. 13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Verš 16

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

Iz 49:10 - They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

Ž 121:6 - The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

Verš 17

For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Ž 23:1 - The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Iz 25:8 - He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

Zjv 21:4 - And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Verš 3

Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

Zjv 9:4 - And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

Ez 9:4 - And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

Verš 4

And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Zjv 14:1 - And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

Zjv 7,1 - Podľa predstavy Židov zem mala tvar štvoruholníkovej plochy. Porov. Dan 7, 2; Zach 6, 5; Ez 7, 2; 37, 9. Vetry vejúce zo štyroch "uhlov" považovali za škodlivé.

Zjv 7,2 - Pod pečaťou možno vidieť buď znak vlastníctva (tí, čo ho prijmú, patria Bohu), alebo znak spásy (ako u Ez 9, kde označuje tých, ktorých ochraňuje Boh). Oba názory sa navzájom nevylučujú, ako to dokazuje aj používanie výrazu "pečať" na označenie krstu (2 Kor 1, 22; Ef 1, 13).

Zjv 7,4 - Číslo 144 000 čiže 12 000 z každého kmeňa označuje plnosť Božieho ľudu.

Zjv 7,5-8 - V zozname kmeňov z neznámych dôvodov chýba kmeň Dan. Nahradzuje ho Manasses, zvyčajne zahrnutý do kmeňa Jozefovho. Pravdepodobne preto, lebo podľa židovskej tradície (spomína ju svätý Irenej) z kmeňa Dan mal pochádzať Antikrist.

Zjv 7,9-17 - Tieto verše opisujú vznik oslávenej Cirkvi.

Zjv 7,14 - Mučeníci vďačia za svoje víťazstvo Kristovi, Baránkovi, sile jeho krvi.

Zjv 7,16-17 - Porov. Iz 49, 10; 25, 8.
