Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:1-10

1-10 Praising God for what we have, is praying for what is yet further to be done for us. There is harmony between the angels and the saints in this triumphant song. Christ is the Bridegroom of his ransomed church. This second union will be completed in heaven; but the beginning of the glorious millennium (by which is meant a reign of Christ, or a state of happiness, for a thousand years on earth) may be considered as the celebration of his espousals on earth. Then the church of Christ, being... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Revelation 19:1-99

Revelation 19 HOW DELIGHTFUL IS the contrast as we pass into chapter 19! As before remarked, a word that characterizes Revelation 17.0 and Revelation 18.0 is “earth.” The Christian faith, which is centred in a heavenly Christ, has been debased into an earthly religion a scheme for producing an earthly paradise where men may have their fill of earthly joys. That kind of religion very well suits “the kings of the earth,” and “the inhabitants of the earth,” and “the great men of the earth,” and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Revelation 19:1-4

The Triumph of the Elect in Heaven. The hymn of the host in heaven: v. 1. And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power unto the Lord, our God! v. 2. For true and righteous are His judgments; 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. v. 3.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 19:1-10

the Fourfold Hallelujah Revelation 19:1-10 One day we shall hear those four Alleluias , Revelation 19:1 ; Revelation 19:3-4 ; Revelation 19:6 . They will reverberate to the farthest limits of the universe. They will not be inspired by vindictiveness or revenge, but will be jubilant with the conviction that God has vindicated Himself and has proved that right can conquer wrong; truth, falsehood; and love, hate. One of our chief anticipations when we think of the future, is that God’s... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 19:1-21

We now come to the things leading up to the establishment of the Kingdom. There are three great movements of praise: one by a great multitude who have been slain; the second by the elders and the living ones; finally, a mighty chorus which John describes by a threefold similitude as "the voice of a great multitude," "the voice of many waters," "the voice of mighty thunders." This precedes the marriage of the Lamb. The harlot is no more. The true Bride is manifest. A word of blessing is... read more

It is not difficult to find, in both the Old and the New Testaments, delightful foreshadowings of the coming Heavenly nuptials. (1) There is the first marriage in Eden. Eve was the bride typical of the Bride of Christ. Observe the following: Adam was put to sleep; Christ was put to sleep. Adam's side was opened; Christ's... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:1-3

‘After these things I heard as it were a great sound of a vast crowd in Heaven, saying, “Halleluyah. The salvation and glory and power are of our God, for true and righteous are his judgments, for he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand”. And a second time they say “Halleluyah”.’ These appear to be the voices of the heavenly beings for they are impersonal, ‘the blood of his servants’ rather than... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:1-10

The Seventh Vision - The Coming of Christ, the Last Battle, the Final Judgment (Revelation 19:1 to Revelation 20:15 ). The Scarlet Woman and the Pure Bride (Revelation 19:1-10 ). This scene parallels, although more briefly, the scenes in chapters 4 & 5, with the participation in worship and praise of living creatures, elders and the heavenly multitude. In chapters 4 & 5 they worshipped as the seals were being prepared for opening, in order to introduce God’s working out of salvation... read more
