Revelation 1:6
_ _ And hath — rather as Greek, “And (He) hath.”
_ _ made us kings — The oldest manuscripts read, “a kingdom.” One oldest manuscript reads the dative, “for us.” Another reads “us,” accusative: so Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, and Andreas. This seems preferable, “He made us (to be) a kingdom.” So Exodus 19:6, “a kingdom of priests”; 1 Peter 2:9, “a royal priesthood.” The saints shall constitute peculiarly a kingdom of God, and shall themselves be kings (Revelation 5:10). They shall share His King-Priest throne in the millennial kingdom. The emphasis thus falls more on the kingdom than on priests: whereas in English Version reading it is equally distributed between both. This book lays prominent stress on the saints’ kingdom. They are kings because they are priests: the priesthood is the continuous ground and legitimization of their kingship; they are kings in relation to man, priests in relation to God, serving Him day and night in His temple (Revelation 7:15; Revelation 5:10). The priest-kings shall rule, not in an external mechanical manner, but simply in virtue of what they are, by the power of attraction and conviction overcoming the heart [Auberlen].
_ _ priests — who have pre-eminently the privilege of near access to the king. David’s sons were priests (Hebrew), 2 Samuel 8:18. The distinction of priests and people, nearer and more remote from God, shall cease; all shall have nearest access to Him. All persons and things shall be holy to the Lord.
_ _ God and his Father — There is but one article to both in the Greek, therefore it means, “Unto Him who is at once God and His Father.”
_ _ glory and dominion — Greek, “the glory and the might.” The fuller threefold doxology occurs, Revelation 4:9, Revelation 4:11; fourfold, Revelation 5:13; Jude 1:25; sevenfold, Revelation 7:12; 1 Chronicles 29:11. Doxology occupies the prominent place above, which prayer does below. If we thought of God’s glory first (as in the Lord’s Prayer), and gave the secondary place to our needs, we should please God and gain our petitions better than we do.
_ _ for ever and ever — Greek, “unto the ages.” |
Revelation 1:6
To him that loveth us, and, out of that free, abundant love, hath washed us from the guilt and power of our sins with his own blood, and hath made us kings — Partakers of his present, and heirs of his eternal, kingdom. And priests unto his God and Father — To whom we continually offer ourselves, an holy, living sacrifice. To him be the glory — For his love and redemption. And the might — Whereby he governs all things. |
