‘And all the angels were standing round about the throne, and round the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God saying, “Amen. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power and might be to our God for ever and ever. Amen”.'
This sevenfold praise by the angels is parallel to that in the earlier chapter (Revelation 5:12) except that ‘riches' have been replaced by ‘thanksgiving', and the order of the words has changed. In Revelation 5:12 the praise was offered to the Lamb. The ‘riches' there were what He had bought through His cross, ‘the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints' (Ephesians 1:18), ‘the exceeding riches of His grace' (Ephesians 2:7). This is therefore changed here to thanksgiving to the One Who has bestowed these riches on Him now that the inheritance is realised.
