Revelation 19:6-7

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:6

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude. This is the response to the invitation just uttered in Revelation 19:5 . Again "the voice of a multitude," as in Revelation 19:1 . And as the voice of many waters. That is, in its suggestiveness of great power and magnitude (cf. Revelation 1:15 ; Revelation 14:2 ; Psalms 93:3 ; Jeremiah 51:16 ). And as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying . A repetition of the idea contained in the preceding clause. The case of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:7

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him; let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him. Alford reads δώσομεν , "we will give," with א , A. P, 36; but the T.R. δῶμεν , "let us give," which is found in א , B, 1, 7, 38, Vulgate, Cyprian, Primasius, is to be preferred. For the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready . This is somewhat anticipatory; the full vision of the bride of the Lamb is reserved until ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 19:6

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude - In Revelation 19:1 he says that he “heard a great voice of much people”; here he says he “heard as it were a voice of a great multitude.” That is, in the former case he heard a shout that he at once recognized as the voice of a great multitude of persons; here he says that he heard a sound not distinctly recognized at first as such, but which resembled such a shout of a multitude. In the former case it was distinct; here it was confused -... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 19:6-8

Revelation 19:6-8. And I heard, &c. Upon this order from the oracle, the whole church, in obedience to it, began to praise God with loud voices; which might be compared to the sound of many waters, or of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia, for the Lord God omnipotent The Almighty Maker and Upholder of universal nature; reigneth Among men, more eminently and gloriously than ever before. Let us be glad, &c. Χαιρωμεν και αγαλλιωμεθα , let us rejoice and exult with transport,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 19:6-10

Wedding feast of the Lamb (19:6-10)God’s rule has been clearly demonstrated in the destruction of the anti-Christian world system and the triumph of his persecuted people. That triumph is now pictured in a heavenly wedding feast in which the redeemed are seen as the bride of Christ. They are clothed in pure white to indicate their heavenly purity (6-8).The symbolism then changes. The redeemed, though pictured collectively as a bride, are pictured individually as those invited to share the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 19:6

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigneth.This, together with Revelation 19:7, constitutes a proleptic or anticipatory announcement of the "Marriage of the Lamb," an event that does not take place until the Second Advent.[11]The Lord our God, the Almighty reigneth ... This is grossly misunderstood when it is thought to mean that God "reigneth" only... read more

Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.REGARDING THE MARRIAGE METAPHORThe marriage of the Lamb is come ... "The marriage feast is the day of the Lord's Second Advent."[15] The figure of marriage to represent the relationship between the Lord and his people is often used in the New Testament, but in various analogies.
