Revelation 19:7

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 19:6-8

19:6-8 And I heard a voice which sounded like the voice of a vast multitude, and like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of mighty crashes of thunder. "Hallelujah!" they said, "because the Lord our God, the Almighty, has entered into his kingdom. Let us rejoice and let us exult, and let us give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has prepared herself, and it has been granted to her to clothe herself with fine linen, shining and pure." For the... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Revelation 19:6-8

This passage calls God by a certain name; and says that he has entered into his kingdom. It calls God the Almighty. The word is pantokrator ( Greek #3841 ), literally the one who controls all things. The significant thing about this great word is that it occurs ten times in the New Testament. Once it is in an Old Testament quotation in 2 Corinthians 6:18 ; the other nine times are all in the Revelation ( Revelation 1:8 ; Revelation 4:8 ; Revelation 11:17 ; Revelation 15:3 ; ... read more

The saints particularly; the converted Jews will call upon one another to express their gladness at the glorious display of Christ's kingly power and authority, and at the destruction of his enemies, and the happy and comfortable state of his church and people; and to rejoice in him as the Lord their righteousness and strength, and to give him the honour and glory of salvation, and to return him thanks for all the benefits they shall... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:7

The marriage of the Lamb is come - The meaning of these figurative expressions appears to be this: After this overthrow of idolatry and superstition, and the discomfiture of antichrist, there will be a more glorious state of Christianity than ever was before. 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 19:7

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him; let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him. Alford reads δώσομεν , "we will give," with א , A. P, 36; but the T.R. δῶμεν , "let us give," which is found in א , B, 1, 7, 38, Vulgate, Cyprian, Primasius, is to be preferred. For the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready . This is somewhat anticipatory; the full vision of the bride of the Lamb is reserved until ... read more
