Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Revelation 19:1

_ _ Revelation 19:1-21. The Church’s thanksgiving in heaven for the judgment on the harlot. The marriage of the Lamb: The supper: The bride’s preparation: John is forbidden to worship the angel: The Lord and His hosts come forth for war: The beast and the false prophet cast into the Lake of Fire: The kings and their followers slain by the sword out of Christ’s mouth.

_ _ As in the case of the opening of the prophecy, Revelation 4:8; Revelation 5:9, etc.; so now, at one of the great closing events seen in vision, the judgment on the harlot (described in Revelation 18:1-24), there is a song of praise in heaven to God: compare Revelation 7:10, etc., toward the close of the seals, and Revelation 11:15-18, at the close of the trumpets: Revelation 15:3, at the saints’ victory over the beast.

_ _ And — so Andreas. But A, B, C, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic omit.

_ _ a great voice — A, B, C, Vulgate, Coptic, and Andreas read, “as it were a great voice.” What a contrast to the lamentations Revelation 18:1-24! Compare Jeremiah 51:48. The great manifestation of God’s power in destroying Babylon calls forth a great voice of praise in heaven.

_ _ peopleGreek, “multitude.”

_ _ AlleluiaHebrew, “Praise ye JAH,” or Jehovah: here first used in Revelation, whence Ellicott infers the Jews bear a prominent part in this thanksgiving. JAH is not a contraction of “Jehovah,” as it sometimes occurs jointly with the latter. It means “He who Is”: whereas Jehovah is “He who will be, is, and was.” It implies God experienced as a PRESENT help; so that “Hallelujah,” says Kimchi in Bengel, is found first in the Psalms on the destruction of the ungodly. “Hallelu-Jah” occurs four times in this passage. Compare Psalms 149:4-9, which is plainly parallel, and indeed identical in many of the phrases, as well as the general idea. Israel, especially, will join in the Hallelujah, when “her warfare is accomplished” and her foe destroyed.

_ _ Salvation, etc. — Greek,The salvation ... the glory ... the power.”

_ _ and honour — so Coptic. But A, B, C, and Syriac omit.

_ _ unto the Lord our God — so Andreas. But A, B, C, and Coptic read, “(Is) of our God,” that is, belongs to Him.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Revelation 19:1-4

_ _ The fall of Babylon being fixed, finished, and declared to be irrecoverable in the foregoing chapter, this begins with a holy triumph over her, in pursuance of the order given forth: Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, Revelation 18:20. They now gladly answer the call; and here you have, 1. The form of their thanksgiving, in that heavenly and most comprehensive word, Alleluia, praise you the Lord: with this they begin, with this they go on, and with this they end (Revelation 19:4); their prayers are now turned into praises, their hosannas end in halleluias. 2. The matter of their thanksgiving: they praise him for the truth of his word, and the righteousness of his providential conduct, especially in this great event — the ruin of Babylon, which had been a mother, nurse, and nest of idolatry, lewdness, and cruelty (Revelation 19:2), for which signal example of divine justice they ascribe salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto our God. 3. The effect of these their praises: when the angels and saints cried Alleluia, her fire burned more fiercely and her smoke ascended for ever and ever, Revelation 19:3. The surest way to have our deliverances continued and completed is to give God the glory of what he has done for us. Praising God for what we have is praying in the most effectual manner for what is yet further to be done for us; the praises of the saints blow up the fire of God's wrath against the common enemy. 4. The blessed harmony between the angels and the saints in this triumphant song, Revelation 19:4. The churches and their ministers take the melodious sound from the angels, and repeat it; falling down, and worshipping God, they cry, Amen, Alleluia.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Revelation 19:1

I heard a loud voice of a great multitude — Whose blood the great whore had shed. Saying, Hallelujah — This Hebrew word signifies, Praise ye Jah, or Him that is. God named himself to Moses, EHEIEH, that is, I will be, Exodus 3:14; and at the same time, "Jehovah," that is, "He that is, and was, and is to come:" during the trumpet of the seventh angel, he is styled, "He that is and was," Revelation 16:5; and not "He that is to come;" because his long — expected coming is under this trumpet actually present. At length he is styled, "Jah," "He that is;" the past together with the future being swallowed up in the present, the former things being no more mentioned, for the greatness of those that now are. This title is of all others the most peculiar to the everlasting God. The salvation — Is opposed to the destruction which the great whore had brought upon the earth. His power and glory — Appear from the judgment executed on her, and from the setting up his kingdom to endure through all ages.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Revelation 19:1

And (1) after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, (a) (2) Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

(1) This chapter has in summary two parts, one transitory or of passage to the things that follow, to the tenth verse, (Revelation 19:2-10), another historical of the victory of Christ over both the beasts, to the end of the chapter (Revelation 19:11-21), which I said was the second history of this argument, (Revelation 17:1). The transition has two places, one of praising God for the overthrow done to Babylon in (Revelation 19:4): and another likewise of praise and prophecy, for the coming of Christ to his kingdom, and his most royal marriage with his Church, thence to the tenth verse (Revelation 19:5-10). The former praise has three parts, distinguished after the ancient manner of those that sing: an invitation in (Revelation 19:1-2), a response or answer in (Revelation 19:3), and a close or joining together in harmony in (Revelation 19:4), all which I thought good of purpose to distinguish in this place, lest any man should with Porphyrius, or other like dogs, object to John, or the heavenly Church, a childish and idle repetition of speech.

(a) Praise the Lord. (2) The proposition of praise with exhortation in this verse, and the cause of it in (Revelation 19:2).
