The Pulpit Commentary on Revelation 7:13

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

And one of the elders answered. The elder speaks because he is typical of the Church, concerning which the exposition which he delivers is to be made (see on Revelation 4:4). Where an explanation is made of visions which refer to the Church, the active part is taken by the elders, while angels introduce visions of which the signification is unexplained (cf.

Revelation 5:2; Revelation 7:1, Revelation 7:2; Revelation 8:1-13.; Revelation 10:1, Revelation 10:3, etc.; and Revelation 5:5). Saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

The elder questions that he may teach (Bede).
