Study Note
The great multitude's sevenfold ascription of praise to God — amen, blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honour, power, and might — mirrors the structure of 5:12 and creates a liturgical inclusio around the Lamb's worthiness. The opening and closing 'Amen' (unique in this position in Revelation) frames the doxology as a ratification of what has already been proclaimed. The seven attributes correspond to the fullness of divine perfection in the tradition of Jewish angelic liturgy, visible in texts like the Qedushah. The scene immediately follows the sealing of the 144,000 and the appearance of the great multitude from all nations, making this doxology the climax of the cosmic gathering of the redeemed from every tribe and tongue.
