Amen
The word "Amen" is a transliteration from the Hebrew word "אָמֵן" (amen), meaning "truly" or "so be it." It is a declaration of affirmation and agreement. In the context of Revelation 7:12, it serves as both an introduction and a conclusion to the doxology, emphasizing the certainty and truth of the praise being offered. The use of "Amen" at both the beginning and end of this verse underscores the eternal and unchanging nature of God's glory and power.

Blessing
The Greek word used here is "εὐλογία" (eulogia), which means "blessing" or "praise." It signifies the act of speaking well of someone, in this case, God. This term reflects the acknowledgment of God's benevolence and the gratitude of the heavenly hosts for His divine favor and grace. The concept of blessing God is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition, where blessings are a form of worship and recognition of God's sovereignty.

and glory
The word "glory" comes from the Greek "δόξα" (doxa), which denotes honor, splendor, and majesty. In the biblical context, it refers to the visible manifestation of God's presence and His divine nature. The glory of God is a central theme throughout Scripture, representing His holiness and the awe-inspiring nature of His being. In Revelation, the glory of God is revealed in the heavenly worship and the ultimate fulfillment of His kingdom.

and wisdom
The Greek term "σοφία" (sophia) is used here, meaning "wisdom." It refers to the divine insight and understanding that God possesses. In the biblical sense, wisdom is not just knowledge but the application of divine truth in righteous living. The acknowledgment of God's wisdom in this verse highlights His perfect plan and the depth of His understanding, which surpasses human comprehension.

and thanks
The word "thanks" is translated from the Greek "εὐχαριστία" (eucharistia), meaning "thanksgiving" or "gratitude." It is an expression of appreciation for God's goodness and mercy. Thanksgiving is a vital aspect of worship, recognizing God's provision and faithfulness. In the heavenly scene depicted in Revelation, the giving of thanks is a continuous act, reflecting the eternal gratitude of the redeemed.

and honor
The Greek word "τιμή" (timē) is used here, meaning "honor" or "value." It signifies the respect and reverence due to God. Honor in the biblical sense involves acknowledging God's authority and giving Him the rightful place in our lives. In Revelation, the honor given to God is part of the worship that acknowledges His supreme rule and the worthiness of His name.

and power
The term "δύναμις" (dynamis) in Greek means "power" or "might." It refers to God's omnipotence and His ability to accomplish His will. The power of God is a recurring theme in Scripture, demonstrating His control over creation and history. In the context of Revelation, God's power is celebrated as He brings about the fulfillment of His promises and the establishment of His kingdom.

and strength
The Greek word "ἰσχύς" (ischys) is used, meaning "strength" or "might." It emphasizes God's enduring and unyielding nature. Strength, in this context, is not just physical power but the steadfastness and resilience of God's character. The acknowledgment of God's strength in this verse is a testament to His ability to sustain and uphold all things.

be to our God
This phrase signifies the direction of all the attributes listed—blessing, glory, wisdom, thanks, honor, power, and strength—toward God. It is a declaration that all these qualities inherently belong to Him and are due to Him alone. The phrase "our God" personalizes the relationship between the worshippers and the divine, emphasizing the covenant relationship God has with His people.

forever and ever
The Greek phrase "εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων" (eis tous aiōnas tōn aiōnōn) translates to "forever and ever," indicating eternity. It underscores the perpetual nature of God's attributes and the eternal worship He receives. This phrase is a common biblical expression denoting the infinite and unending reign of God, affirming His eternal sovereignty and the everlasting nature of His kingdom.

Amen
The repetition of "Amen" at the end of the verse serves as a powerful affirmation of the truth and certainty of the doxology. It is a liturgical conclusion that seals the praise offered to God, reinforcing the faith and conviction of the worshippers. The use of "Amen" bookends the verse, creating a sense of completeness and emphasizing the unwavering trust in God's eternal nature.

Verse 12. - Saying, Amen. In Revelation 5:14 the four living creatures respond "Amen" to the praises uttered by the angels; here, in response to the praise offered by the redeemed in ver. 10, the angels utter "Amen," preparatory to joining in the universal adoration. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever. Amen. The blessing, etc.; that is, "all blessing," etc. (see on Revelation 4:11). The terms of the ascription are the same as those in Revelation 5:12, except that we have here εὐχαριστία, "thanksgiving," substituted for πλοῦτος, "riches" (see on Revelation 5:12). The sevenfold character of the ascription of praise denotes its universal and all-embracing character (see on Revelation 1:4; 5:1).
