Revelation 7:15
_ _ Therefore — because they are so washed white; for without it they could never have entered God’s holy heaven; Revelation 22:14, “Blessed are those who wash their robes (the oldest manuscripts reading), that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city”; Revelation 21:27; Ephesians 5:26, Ephesians 5:27.
_ _ before — Greek, “in the presence of.” Matthew 5:8; 1 Corinthians 13:12, “face to face.”
_ _ throne ... temple — These are connected because we can approach the heavenly King only through priestly mediation; therefore, Christ is at once King and Priest on His throne.
_ _ day and night — that is, perpetually; as those approved of as priests by the Sanhedrim were clothed in white, and kept by turns a perpetual watch in the temple at Jerusalem; compare as to the singers, 1 Chronicles 9:33, “day and night”; Psalms 134:1. Strictly “there is no night” in the heavenly sanctuary (Revelation 22:5).
_ _ in his temple — in what is the heavenly analogue to His temple on earth, for strictly there is “no temple therein” (Revelation 21:22), “God and the Lamb are the temple” filling the whole, so that there is no distinction of sacred and secular places; the city is the temple, and the temple the city. Compare Revelation 4:8, “the four living creatures rest not day and night, saying, Holy,” etc.
_ _ shall dwell among them — rather (Greek, “scenosei ep' autous”), “shall be the tabernacle over them” (compare Revelation 21:3; Leviticus 26:11, especially Isaiah 4:5, Isaiah 4:6; Isaiah 8:14; Isaiah 25:4; Ezekiel 37:27). His dwelling among them is to be understood as a secondary truth, besides what is expressed, namely, His being their covert. When once He tabernacled among us as the Word made flesh, He was in great lowliness; then He shall be in great glory. |
Revelation 7:15
Therefore — Because they came out of great affliction, and have washed their robes in his blood. Are they before the throne — It seems, even nearer than the angels. And serve him day and night — Speaking after the manner of men; that is, continually. In his temple — Which is in heaven. And he shall have his tent over them — Shall spread his glory over them as a covering. |
Revelation 7:15
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him (d) day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell (e) among them.
(d) He alludes to the Levites, who served day and night, for there is no night in heaven.
(e) Or, upon them, referring to God's defence and protection of those who are as safe, as men in the Lord's tents. |

Hebrews 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken [this is] the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

- dwell:
Revelation 21:3-4 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God. ... 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.
Revelation 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Exodus 29:45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
1 Kings 6:13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
1 Chronicles 23:25 For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
Psalms 68:16-18 Why leap ye, ye high hills? [this is] the hill [which] God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever. ... Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, [for] the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [among them].
Isaiah 4:5-6 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory [shall be] a defence. ... And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
