Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
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 (1 Timothy 1:1; 1 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.
