The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:2

For true and righteous are his judgments. This reason for the worship of Revelation 19:1 is similar to that in Revelation 16:7 and Revelation 15:3 . For he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. A second reason for the worship of Revelation 15:1 . Corrupt the earth; as in Revelation 11:18 , where a form of the same verb is used (cf. also Jeremiah 51:25 ). Her fornication; her... read more

Revelation 19:1-3.

Salvation, glory, honour, and power be... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 19:1-5

Reactions to Babylon’s fall (18:9-19:5)Those who grew prosperous through their commerce with the city weep and mourn at its destruction. The rulers of the nations stand afar off, watching the destruction but doing nothing to help the city in its distress (9-10). Merchants and businessmen mourn for the burning city, not because they have any love for it, but because they have no more market for their goods. Like the rulers they are guided by motives that are entirely selfish. They are distressed... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 19:2

for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot; her that corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.True and righteous are his judgments ... It is appropriate for Christians to be reminded that the terrible judgments upon nations, cities, and individuals who spurn his mercies are "righteous." The holy and righteous God cannot, nor will he, accommodate to human wickedness. "The moral law can no more be broken... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 19:1

Revelation 19:1.— The prophesies relating to the third period, concluded with a severe punishment of Rome, for her pride, luxury, superstition, and idolatry; and especially for her cruel persecution of all who were found faithful to their duty in preserving the purity of the Christian doctrines and worship. When Rome thus fell, like ancient Babylon, to rise no more, the heavenly church is introduced as a choir to praise God for his righteous judgments. This excellent hymn of praise, sung by the... read more
