and they cry out with a loud voice, saying,Why are they giving salvation to God and Christ? They seem to be suggesting that salvation is theirs to give to God, not something that God gives them through Jesus. If it were praise or glory or adoration, this would make sense; salvation doesn't.
"Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
I think I'm getting stuck on an oddity of the translation, but it's the kind of thing that bothers me. I remember a praise song from when I was growing up, based on this verse. It says "Salvation belongs to our God...," which makes much more sense to me. I wonder why the extra word is omitted here.
