Revelation of John 7:16-17

     16. (Isa 49:10).

      hunger no more—as they did here.

      thirst any more— (Joh 4:13).

      the sun—literally, scorching in the East. Also, symbolically, the sun of persecution.

      neither . . . lightGreek, "by no means at all . . . light" (fall).

      heat—as the sirocco.

     17. in the midst of the throne—that is, in the middle point in front of the throne (Re 5:6).

      feedGreek, "tend as a shepherd."

      living fountains of water—A, B, Vulgate, and CYPRIAN read, (eternal) "life's fountains of waters." "Living" is not supported by the old authorities.
