And I saw something like a sea of
glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over
his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the
sea of glass, having harps of God.
- · “The sea is designed to reflect the glory of God. In chapter 4 its description ‘like unto crystal’ speaks of the holiness of God. Here the sea mingled with fire speaks of divine judgment proceeding from God’s holiness.” (Walvoord)
- · These are those who are victorious over the beast through their faithfulness unto death. They are the tribulation martyrs, described in Revelation 7:9-17. (DG)
Exodus 24:9, 10 Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and
Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and they saw the God of
Israel. And there was under His feet as
it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was like the very heavens in its
clarity.
Psalm 137:2 We hung our harps upon the willows in the
midst of it.
