451. Verses 9, 10. After this I saw, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, out of every nation and [of all] tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes and palms in their hands; and they cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation unto our God who sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb-" After this, I saw, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number," signifies all those who are in the good of life according to their religion, in which there are no genuine truths; "which no man could number," signifies that the quality and measure of good and truth with them is known to the Lord alone; "out of every nation and [of all] tribes," signifies all those who are in the good of life according to the doctrinals of their religion; "and peoples, and tongues," signifies all who are in falsities from ignorance, and from various religions; "standing before the throne, and before the Lamb," signifies those in the kingdom of the Lord; "clothed with white robes," signifies that then they are in truths, and in protection against falsities; "and palms in their hands," signifies and in the good of life in agreement with those truths. "And they cry with a great voice," signifies adoration from the good of truth, and so from joy of heart; "saying, Salvation unto our God, who sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb," signifies confession that eternal life is from the Lord alone.
