William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Revelation 19:1-2

19:1-2 After these things I heard what sounded like a great voice of a vast multitude in heaven. "Hallelujah!" they were saying. "Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, because his judgments are true and just, for he judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged upon her the blood of his servants." In the description of the total destruction of Babylon, come the words: "Rejoice over her, O heaven, O saints and apostles and prophets, for God... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 19:2

For true and righteous are his judgments ,.... As in See Gill on Revelation 15:3 ; see Gill on Revelation 16:7 , this is to be understood of God's judgments in general, and is a reason of the attribution of praise and glory to him; which may be said to be true, because, being threatened, are now fulfilled; and to be "righteous", because according to the demerit of sin; and particularly God's judgments on antichrist are intended: for he hath judged the great whore ; Jezebel, Babylon,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:1-10

The triumph of the redeemed. When Handel wrote the "Hallelujah Chorus" he endeavoured, so he said, to picture to himself what the great gladness of the glorified must be. He rightly and reverently sought—and, it seems to us, sought not in vain—to imagine the whole scene as it is recorded here. And it is good for us to muse much on a scene like this. It is a veritable sursum corda for poor sin and sorrow laden men such as we are. It helps us to obey the word, "Be not weary nor faint in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:1-10

The bride of Christ. "After these things"—the overpoweringly impressive vision just granted to the holy seer—a song as "of a great multitude in heaven" breaks upon the ear. it is a song of praise to God, ascribing to him the "salvation" wrought out for his people, and the "glory" of that salvation, and the "power" by which it has been accomplished—a song of praise for his "true and righteous judgments" upon "the great harlot," and the avenging of "the blood of his servants at her hand."... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:1-21

The Eternal in the universe, and his Representative to man. "And after these things I heard a great voice of much people," etc. "Babylon" in this book I take as the symbol of moral evil on this earth, or, in other words, of all that is corrupt in human life. From its establishment on this globe, it has been "falling." It is "failing" now, and will continue to fall until its mighty mountain shall become a plain, and there will be found "no place" for it. In the preceding chapter the... read more

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. And after these things After this affecting representation of the certain destruction of Babylon, as the seat of the antichristian kingdom; I heard a great voice of much people in heaven A great chorus, who, with united voices, began to praise God on the occasion, saying, Alleluia That is, Praise ye Jehovah, or, He that is, and was, and is to come; a title which, of all others, is the most peculiar to the everlasting God.
