In Revelation 7:10 it says "salvation to our God" ... I am baffled as to how our God needs salvation? This is really throwing me for a loop . Thanks for any clarification, Tamara

People's Bible Notes for Revelation 7:10
Re 7:10 Salvation to our God . . . and unto the Lamb. The praise of our salvation be given to God and to the Lamb.
In this scripture, God and Jesus are being praised for salvation of the earth, and humankind.
Something that I do when a scripture seems unclear, is to ask The Holy Spirit to explain it. He desires to be our Teacher. Jesus sent him to all believers on the Day of Pentecost. We all should ask for help.
It may involve being still before the Lord. Which generally means turn off the media in the room and listening intently.
If you read the story of the two women both named Martha: one was scurrying around serving the company. The other Martha was sitting at the feet of Jesus, totally engaged with what He was teaching. The 2nd Martha is the one that was remarked upon.
Point: being busy and distracted is not really a good thing if you cannot hear what Jesus is saying.
My comment: hearing an answer or reply from the Holy Spirit, will create a hunger within your spirit to spend time with Him.
Don't ask things you can easily look up in a Bible Encyclopedia, a Commentary or googling History. Do you see my suggestion? If you are still not understanding something, ask, believe, and you shall receive.
