Revelation 19:7-9

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:1-10

The Seventh Vision - The Coming of Christ, the Last Battle, the Final Judgment (Revelation 19:1 to Revelation 20:15 ). The Scarlet Woman and the Pure Bride (Revelation 19:1-10 ). This scene parallels, although more briefly, the scenes in chapters 4 & 5, with the participation in worship and praise of living creatures, elders and the heavenly multitude. In chapters 4 & 5 they worshipped as the seals were being prepared for opening, in order to introduce God’s working out of salvation... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:5-7

‘And a voice came out from the throne, saying, “Give praise to God, all you his servants (Psalms 113:1; Psalms 134:1), you who fear him, the small and the great (Psalms 115:13)”. And I heard as it were the voice of a vast crowd, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, “Halleluyah, for the Lord our God, the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be abundantly glad, and let us give the glory to him, for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:8

‘And it was given to her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure. For the fine linen is the righteous behaviour of God’s people.’ It is the privilege of God’s people that they can array themselves in beauty, because God has made them beautiful. We must ever be mindful that we are preparing ourselves to be the bride of Christ. Elsewhere the emphasis is rightly on Christ’s provision for His bride (Revelation 6:11; Revelation 7:14) but here all emphasis is on the bride’s own... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:9

‘And he says to me, “These are the true words of God”.’ The angel emphasises the truth of all that John has seen. The seven visions have been given and now they receive heavenly ratification. This is introduced now so that no attention is taken from the final Coming of the Word of God (Revelation 19:11 on). read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:1-10

Revelation 19:1-2 Samuel : . The Marriage of the Lamb. Revelation 19:1 . Hallelujah: this term is found in NT only in this chapter. It means “ Praise ye the Lord.” It occurs in several psalms, but is always translated in the versions. The term itself is first found in the Apocrypha; cf. Tob_13:18 , “ All her streets shall say ‘ Hallelujah’ !” Revelation 19:2 . the great harlot: Rome ( cf. Revelation 17:1 ff.*). Revelation 19:3 . her smoke: i.e. the smoke from the ruins of the city.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 19:7

A late reverend author tells us: That as there is a three-fold resurrection mentioned in Scripture; 1. A rising to a newness of life, Ephesians 5:14; 2. The conversion of the Jews, called life from the dead, Romans 11:15; 3. In the end of the world: so there is a threefold marriage of the Lamb; 1. To particular souls, when by faith they are united to Christ; 2. To his church completed, when the Jews shall be called; 3. When all his elect shall be made one with him in glory, after the general... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 19:8

And to her was granted; that is, to the Lamb’s wife, whether Jews or Gentiles, or both. That she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white; that she should be clothed with the righteousness of Christ, reckoned to her for righteousness. This is the righteosness of the saints; called the righteousness of God, Romans 1:17; a righteousness through the faith of Christ, Philippians 3:9; called righteousness, in the Greek, because there are many saints to be clothed with it; and because it is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 19:9

And he saith unto me, Write; write it, as a business of moment, of which a record is fit to be kept. Blessed are they which are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb; that is, (say those who understand by the marriage of the Lamb the Jews’ conversion), who live in this happy period of time when the Jews shall be converted, and with the Gentiles make one gospel church. But this seems to me not sufficient. The marriage is one thing, the supper another, and (ordinarily) consequential to the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 19:1-21

FINAL VICTORY OF THE LAMBCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESTHE time now draws near for the final termination of the conflict. The irrevocable doom has been pronounced. But before the final consummation there is, as usual, a relief passage We have the song of victory sung in anticipation. These relief passages of this book the writer designed to cheer the spirits of the suffering and persecuted saints, and for their sake the book was written. The contents of the Revelation 19:1-10 of this chapter may... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Revelation 19:9

Revelation 19:9 I. A distinction seems to be drawn between "the marriage" and the "marriage supper" of the Lamb. "The marriage" takes place now; "the marriage supper" is to follow by-and-by. "The marriage" is that act of union between each soul and Christ when the soul, drawn by God's love and made willing by His grace, is linked to, and made one with, the mystical body of Christ; "the marriage supper" will be the public celebration and the glorious consummation of that union. Therefore there... read more
