Revelation Series #192: A Special Word to Israelites in the Great Affliction

Wasn’t clear about what was said concerning verse 7:10, especially after looking at the CLNT reading; that is, was mistakenly hearing it as a plurality of Gods, rather than genitive/possessive.
Had to research it to better see what the verse was saying, and thought this might, also, be helpful for others. That is I’ve provided a word by word analysis, from the Greek, and a comparison with how the Concordant (CLNT) reads the verse:

“And they cry unto a great voice, saying:
The salvation of ours
[it be] unto the God,
the [One] down-sitting on the throne,
even unto the Lambkin” (~Robin)

“And they are crying [with a] loud voice, saying,
“[.] Salvation [be] our [.] God’s,
[the] Who [is] sitting on the throne,
and the Lambkin’s” (CLNT)

Notice that the only genitive/possessive is that of the word “of ours;”
that is, neither God nor Lambkin are genitive, so doesn’t it make more
sense to read this as “the salvation of ours” … that is, after all the very
idea that the CLNT is trying to convey, but by reading it this way, we
dont have to editorially “enhance” the scriptural words.

***
and {2532 CONJ} they cry {2896 V-PAI-3P} unto a voice {5456 N-DSF} unto a great [one] {3173 A-DSF} saying {3004 V-PAP-NPM} the [one] {3588 T-NSF} a salvation {4991 N-NSF} unto the [one] {3588 T-DSM} unto God {2316 N-DSM} of ours {1473 P-1GP} unto the [One] {3588 T-DSM} unto down-sitting {2521 V-PNP-DSM} on {1909 PREP} unto the [one] {3588 T-DSM} unto a throne {2362 N-DSM} and/ even {2532 CONJ} unto the [One] {3588 T-DSN} unto a Lambkin {0721 N-DSN}

7:10 καὶ κράζουσιν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ λέγοντες,
Ἡ σωτηρία τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ τῷ θρόνῳ καὶ τῷ ἀρνίῳ.
