📚 Historical Context

In the book of Revelation, written by the apostle John during his exile on the island of Patmos around 95 AD amid Roman persecution of Christians, this verse describes a vision of a great multitude of the redeemed standing before God's throne. They are depicted as serving God continuously in His temple, symbolizing eternal worship and rest from earthly suffering. This imagery draws from Old Testament temple practices and was meant to encourage believers facing trials by assuring them of their future with God.
