Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 19:1-21

Revelation 19:1 . I heard a great voice of much people, songs in full choir, the songs of heaven and of earth, for both are now made one, saying, Alleluia, written as John expressed it in Greek. Praise ye the Lord, Jehovah, the first and the last. This is the grand overture to the song opened in Revelation 4:9-11, and now resumed in the sublime of triumph. Revelation 19:2 . True and righteous are his judgments. The song of the seraphim, in the sixth of Isaiah, was excited by a view of... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 19:4

4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. Ver. 4. And the four and twenty elders ] The former Alleluiah was more private; every good heart being lifted up with joy and thankfulness, when first they hear the good news of Antichrist’s overthrow. Now is this the joint Alleluiah of the public congregation, praising and magnifying God. This may be a further means to move the Jews to come in. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Revelation 19:4

And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.And the four and twenty elders, and the four living creatures felt down — The living creatures are nearer the throne than the elders. Accordingly they are mentioned before them, with the praise they render to God, Revelation 4:9,10; 5:8,14; inasmuch as there the praise moves from the centre to the circumference. But here, when God's judgments are fulfilled, it moves... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:1-21

IV. THE SEVEN TRUMPETS, Revelation 7:1 to Revelation 20:10. Of the trumpets, the first four are mundane, or earthly; each of the four blasts draws down a judgment upon some creational point, as earth, sea, fountains and rivers; firmamental luminaries. It is the sins of men that draw down these bolts of wrath, rendering every point of creation hostile to our peace. “Cursed is the ground for thy sake,” (Genesis 3:17,) is the key-note. This sad status of humanity has existed through all past... read more

The elders rise from their seats and prostrate themselves before the throne. They give their responsive amen, and a third utterance, to the alleluias of the great voice in heaven. read more
