Revelation 19:6

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 19:1-10

Revelation 19:1-10. And after these things I heard a great voice, &c.— Instead of I am thy fellow-servant, &c. Revelation 19:10. Doddridge renders it, I am a fellow-servant with thee, and with thy brethren, who keep the testimony. Here the whole church, agreeably to the exhortation of the angels, ch. Rev 18:20 join in praises and thanksgivings to almightyGod for his truth and righteousness, in judging this idolatrous city; (Revelation 19:1-2.) his truth, in fulfilling his promises and... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 19:6

6. many waters—Contrast the "many waters" on which the whore sitteth ( :-). This verse is the hearty response to the stirring call, "Alleluia! Praise our God" (Revelation 19:4; Revelation 19:5). the Lord God omnipotent—Greek, "the Omnipotent." reigneth—literally, "reigned": hence reigneth once for all. His reign is a fact already established. Babylon, the harlot, was one great hindrance to His reign being recognized. Her overthrow now clears the way for His advent to reign; therefore, not... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 19:1-10

1. The praise of God in heaven 19:1-10This pericope has strong ties to what precedes (Revelation 16:17 to Revelation 18:24). It is the concluding revelation concerning the fall of Babylon (the latter-day Egypt and Tyre) and Antichrist (the ultimate Pharaoh of the Exodus and King of Tyre). The praise in this section is in response to the angel’s invitation for those in heaven to rejoice (Revelation 18:20). [Note: Charles, 2:117-19; Wall, p. 219.] Revelation 19:9-10 conclude the section begun in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 19:6

This praise followed and probably included that of the angels. Together all God’s servants in heaven now praised Him for the fact that He reigns, after destroying Babylon. In this proleptic statement they look forward to what is about to happen, namely, Jesus Christ’s return to earth and the beginning of His eternal reign. [Note: Beckwith, p. 726; Robertson, 6:449; Ladd, p. 246.] Here He receives the title "the Lord our God, the Almighty." This praise is appropriately great since Messiah’s... read more

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

Christ and His Armies conquer the Beast and his ProphetThe harlot city having been destroyed, the marriage of the Lamb with the glorified Church is announced. But before this can take place, the other enemies of the Lamb must be overcome, and St. John sees in a vision the overthrow of the beast and of the false prophet.1-4. The great multitude of the saints in heaven (see on Revelation 1:10) praises God (Revelation 19:1) because the wicked city, which corrupted the earth, and shed the blood of... read more
