The multitude says that salvation characterizes, defines, and gets to the core of two divine persons. They are “our God who sits on the throne” and “the Lamb.” “Our God who sits on the throne” is the glorious God of Revelation 4:1–11, and we met “the Lamb” in Revelation 5:1–14. “Our God who sits on the throne” is he who loved this world so much that he sent his only, well-beloved Son into this world in order to save fallen sinners (John 3:16). The Lamb is the well-beloved Son who left the glories of heaven to enter a fallen world and in turn go the horrors of the cross. That God sent his only Son and that the Son readily went even to the cross certainly illustrates that “salvation” gets to the heart of who God is.
10 and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
