Revelation 19:5 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Revelation 19:5-10

The triumphant song being ended, and epithalamium, or marriage-song, begins, Rev. 19:6. Here observe, I. The concert of heavenly music. The chorus was large and loud, as the voice of many waters and of mighty thunderings. God is fearful in praises. There is no discord in heaven; the morning stars sing together; no jarring string, nor key untuned, but pure and perfect melody. II. The occasion of this song; and that is the reign and dominion of that omnipotent God who has redeemed his church by... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Revelation 19:3-5

19:3-5 And a second time they said: "Hallelujah! for the smoke from her rises for ever and ever." And the twenty-four elders, and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped the God who is seated upon the throne. "Amen," they said, "Hallelujah!" And a voice came forth from the throne. "Praise our God," it said, "all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great." The angelic host sings a second Hallelujah. Their praise is that the smoke of Babylon rises for ever and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 19:5

And a voice came out of the throne ,.... Not from God the Father, that sat upon it, for the phrase, praise our God , could not be said by him with propriety and pertinence; but rather from Christ, the Lamb, in the midst of the throne, who as Mediator could say of him to his people, my God and your God, and my Father and your Father, John 20:17 though it seems best to understand it of the voice of one of the angels about the throne, since one of these is afterwards spoken of, whom John... 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 19:5

And a voice came out of the throne, saying. ἐκ "out of," is found in א , P, 1, 34, etc.; ἀπό , "forth from," is supported by A, B, C, etc.; while B reads οὐρανοῦ , "heaven," instead of θρόνου , "throne." Alford suggests that the direction rather than the source of the voice is intended. It is impossible to say to whom the voice should be attributed (cf. Revelation 10:4 , Revelation 10:8 , etc.). As an invitation to the Church to praise God, we might expect the voice... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 19:5

And a voice came out of the throne - A voice seemed to come from the very midst of the throne. It is not said by whom this voice was uttered. It cannot be supposed, however, that it was uttered by God himself, for the command which it gave was this: “Praise our God,” etc. For the same reason it seems hardly probable that it was the voice of the Messiah, unless it be supposed that he here identifies himself with the redeemed church, and speaks of God as his God and hers. It would seem rather... read more

Revelation 19:4-5. The four and twenty elders and the four living creatures After the preceding chorus had ended their hymn, the representatives of the Jewish and Christian Churches prostrated themselves before Jehovah, saying, Amen So be it: let God be ever praised for the displays now made of his infinite perfections. And a voice came out of the throne From the glory, or the oracle; this shows the great authority and solemnity with which this order was published; saying, Praise our... read more
