A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him - so at the giving of the law (Deuteronomy 33:2, "The Lord came from Sinai ... with ten thousand of saints (holy angels); from his right hand went a fiery law for them;" Psalms 68:17; Hebrews 12:22; Jude 1:14, "Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints").
Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him - image from the Sanhedrim, in which the father of the consistory sat with his assessors on each side, in the form of a semicircle, and the people standing before him.
The judgment was set - the judges sat (Revelation 20:4, "I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them").
And the books were opened - (Revelation 20:12). Forensic image; all the documents of the cause at issue, connected with the condemnation of Antichrist and his kingdom, and the setting up of Messiah's kingdom. Judgment must pass on the world, as being under the curse, before the glory comes; but Antichrist offers glory without the cross, a renewed world without the world being judged.
