· Translation: KJV

Revelation 19:5A voice came forth from the throne, saying, "Give praise to our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the great!"

The setting

Heaven's throne room, end times. John sees a voice emanating from God's throne commanding universal worship...

The emotion here: overwhelmed by the majesty and equality of heavenly worship

The original word

phobeomai (φοβέομαι) — reverential awe and fear, not terror but profound respect

Why it matters

This is the only time in Revelation a voice comes directly from the throne itself

Read with care

What most readers miss in Revelation 19:5

The voice says 'small AND great' - your social status means nothing in worship

Common misconceptionPeople think this is about earthly social classes, but it's about spiritual status - even the 'great' are still servants before God's throne.
