Context of Revelation 7:11
9After these things I saw, and lo, a great crowd, which no one could number, out of every nation and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palm branches in their hands. 10And they cry with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb. And all the angels stood around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and fell before the throne upon their faces, and worshipped God, 12saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and strength, to our God, to the ages of ages. Amen. 13And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These who are clothed with white robes, who are they, and whence came they?

Commentaries on Revelation 7:11
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11All the angels, etc. - As there is joy in the presence of God among these holy spirits when one sinner repents, no wonder that they take such an interest in the gathering together of such innumerable multitudes who are fully saved from their sins.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11And all the angels stood round about the throne - notes on Revelation 5:11. And about the elders - notes on Revelation 4:4. And the four beasts - notes on Revelation 4:6. The meaning is, that the angels stood in the outer circle, or outside of the elders and the four living creatures.
