Quick answer

The multitude cries out that salvation belongs to God and to the Lamb. They ascribe their rescue entirely to God's saving work, not their own.

Overview

Their shout confesses that salvation is wholly the gift of God seated on the throne and of the Lamb who was slain. By joining God and the Lamb as the source of salvation, the praise again affirms Christ's deity. This is the answer to 6:17: those who can stand are those saved by grace through the Lamb.

Christ at the center

Revelation ends the story with the slain-yet-standing Lamb who is worthy, the Lion of Judah, the Alpha and Omega, the returning King who makes all things new and dwells with his people forever.

How Revelation 7:10 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
