Robertson: Rev 19:1 - After these things

After these things ( meta tauta ).

Often when a turn comes in this book. But Beckwith is probably correct in seeing in Rev 19:1-5 the climax of chapter Rev 18. This first voice (Rev 19:1, Rev 19:2) hōs phōnēn megalēn ouchlou pollou (as it were great voice of much multitude) is probably the response of the angelic host (Rev 5:11; Heb 12:22). There is responsive singing (grand chorus) as in chapters Rev 4:1-11; Rev 5:1-14.

Robertson: Rev 19:1 - Saying

Saying ( legontōn ).

Present active participle of legō , genitive plural, though ochlou is genitive singular (collective substantive, agreement in sense).

Robertson: Rev 19:1 - Hallelujah

Hallelujah ( Allēlouia ).

Transliteration of the Hebrew seen often in the Psalms (lxx) and in 3 Macc. 7:13, in N.T. only in Rev 19:1, Rev 19:3, Rev 19:4, Rev 19:6. It means, "Praise ye the Lord."Fifteen of the Psalms begin or end with this word. The Great Hallel (a title for Psalm 104-109) is sung chiefly at the feasts of the passover and tabernacles. This psalm of praise uses language already in Rev 12:10.

Vincent: Rev 19:1 - Hallelujah

Hallelujah ( ἀλληλούΐ́α )

Hebrew. Praise ye the Lord. Only in Revelation and in this chapter. Fifteen of the Psalms either begin or end with this word. The Jewish anthem of praise (Psalm 104-109), sung chiefly at the feasts of the Passover and of Tabernacles, derived its title of the Great Hallel from the frequent use of that phrase.

Vincent: Rev 19:1 - Honor

Honor

Omit. On the doxologies in Revelation, see on Rev 1:6.

Wesley: Rev 19:1 - I heard a loud voice of a great multitude

Whose blood the great whore had shed. Saying, Hallelujah - This Hebrew word signifies, Praise ye Jah, or Him that is. God named himself to Moses, EHEIEH, that is, I will be, Exo 3:14; and at the same time, "Jehovah," that is, "He that is, and was, and is to come:" during the trumpet of the seventh angel, he is styled, "He that is and was," Rev 16:5; and not "He that is to come;" because his long - expected coming is under this trumpet actually present. At length he is styled, "Jah," "He that is;" the past together with the future being swallowed up in the present, the former things being no more mentioned, for the greatness of those that now are. This title is of all others the most peculiar to the everlasting God.

Wesley: Rev 19:1 - The salvation

Is opposed to the destruction which the great whore had brought upon the earth.

Wesley: Rev 19:1 - His power and glory

Appear from the judgment executed on her, and from the setting up his kingdom to endure through all ages.

JFB: Rev 19:1 - And

So ANDREAS. But A, B, C, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic omit.

JFB: Rev 19:1 - a great voice

A, B, C, Vulgate, Coptic, and ANDREAS read, "as it were a great voice." What a contrast to the lamentations Rev. 18:1-24! Compare Jer 51:48. The great manifestation of God's power in destroying Babylon calls forth a great voice of praise in heaven.

JFB: Rev 19:1 - people

Greek, "multitude."

JFB: Rev 19:1 - Alleluia

Hebrew, "Praise ye JAH," or JEHOVAH: here first used in Revelation, whence ELLICOTT infers the Jews bear a prominent part in this thanksgiving. JAH is not a contraction of "JEHOVAH," as it sometimes occurs jointly with the latter. It means "He who Is": whereas Jehovah is "He who will be, is, and was." It implies God experienced as a PRESENT help; so that "Hallelujah," says KIMCHI in BENGEL, is found first in the Psalms on the destruction of the ungodly. "Hallelu-Jah" occurs four times in this passage. Compare Psa 149:4-9, which is plainly parallel, and indeed identical in many of the phrases, as well as the general idea. Israel, especially, will join in the Hallelujah, when "her warfare is accomplished" and her foe destroyed.

JFB: Rev 19:1 - Salvation, &c.

Greek, "The salvation . . . the glory . . . the power."

JFB: Rev 19:1 - and honour

So Coptic. But A, B, C, and Syriac omit.

JFB: Rev 19:1 - unto the Lord our God

So ANDREAS. But A, B, C, and Coptic read, "(Is) of our God," that is, belongs to Him.

Clarke: Rev 19:1 - I heard a great voice of much people in heaven

I heard a great voice of much people in heaven - The idolatrous city being destroyed, and the blood of the martyred saints being avenged, there is a universal joy among the redeemed of the Lord, which they commence with the word הללו יה Hallelu -Yah , praise ye Jah or Jehovah; which the Septuagint, and St. John from them, put into Greek letters thus: Αλληλουΐα, Allelou-ia, a form of praise which the heathens appear to have borrowed from the Jews, as is evident from their paeans, or hymns in honor of Apollo, which began and ended with ελελευ ιη, eleleu ie ; a mere corruption of the Hebrew words. It is worthy of remark that the Indians of North America have the same word in their religious worship, and use it in the same sense. "In their places of worship, or beloved square, they dance sometimes for a whole night always in a bowing posture, and frequently singing halleluyah Ye ho wah; praise ye Yah, Ye ho vah:"probably the true pronunciation of the Hebrew יהוה, which we call Jehovah. See Adair’ s History of the American Indians

Clarke: Rev 19:1 - Salvation

Salvation - He is the sole author of deliverance from sin; the glory of this belongs to him, the honor should be ascribed to him, and his power is that alone by which it is effected.

Defender: Rev 19:1 - Alleluia

The great cry of "Alleluia," sounds out four times from the great assembly in heaven (Rev 19:1, Rev 19:3, Rev 19:4, Rev 19:6); these are the only occurrences of the word in the New Testament. Meaning "Praise the Lord," it is the same as "Hallelujah," (Hebrew) which occurs in the first and last verses of each of the last five psalms of the book of Psalms. These final "Hallelujah Psalms" may thus well represent the praise songs of all the redeemed as they gather in preparation for the great marriage supper of the Lamb (Rev 19:9)."

Poole: Rev 19:1 - And after these things // I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying // Alleluia // Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God

Rev 19:1-5 God is praised in heaven for judging the great whore, and

avenging the blood of his saints.

Rev 19:6-9 The triumph because of the marriage of the Lamb.

Rev 19:10 The angel who showed John these things, refuseth to

be worshipped.

Rev 19:11-16 The vision of the Word of God sitting upon a white

horse, and followed by his armies.

Rev 19:17-19 The fowls called to feast on the flesh of those that

took part with the beast.

Rev 19:20,21 The beast and false prophet cast into the lake of

fire and brimstone; and the rest slain.

And after these things after the pouring out of the fifth vial upon the seat of the beast, Rev 16:10 ; for Rev 17:1-18:24 , as we have formerly hinted, is but a parenthesis to the history. God, in this chapter, more fully describes the effects of the pouring out that vial.

I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying: it may be understood either of the third heavens, or the heaven upon earth, the church of God; for the church triumphant and militant both will concur in praising God for the ruin of antichrist’ s power.

Alleluia is a Hebrew word, and signifies: Praise ye the Lord.

Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: all these are but terms of honour and praise given unto God, acknowledging that the church’ s salvation is from him, the effect of his power; and that to him, upon that account, all honour and glory imaginable is due, as having shown himself his people’ s God.

PBC: Rev 19:1

Re 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

Alleluia -praise ye Jah! An adoring exclamation. Salvation has come! Praise, and esteem, and dignity to the highest degree, and mighty and wonderful works, unto our God who is supreme ruler of all! Great rejoicing is always the case with God’s people when deliverance has come to them. Recall the heavenly scene which we saw at the beginning, with the Throne of God set in the heavens and a great multitude which no man could number around that throne. Their rejoicing and praise to Him who sat on the throne are beyond description.— Eld. Charles Taylor

Haydock: Rev 19:1 - The voice of many multitudes....saying: Alleluia

Here we enter upon a new scene. Babylon the great is fallen. The saints are here represented rejoicing over the woman which was drunk with the blood of the saints. (Chap. xvii. 6.) (Calmet) ---

The voice of many multitudes....saying: Alleluia. In these visions, when the martyrs have triumphed and overcome persecutors, are sometimes represented their praises of God in heaven. Here in the Protestant translation, are retained Alleluia and Amen, which as St. Augustine takes notice, used not to be changed or translated in any language. (Witham)

Gill: Rev 19:1 - And after these things // I heard a great voice of much people in heaven // saying Alleluia // salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God

And after these things,.... After the angel had declared the fall of Babylon, a voice from heaven had called the people of God out of her, and had ordered them to take vengeance on her; after the mournful lamentation of the kings, merchants, and seafaring men; after another voice had called upon the saints to rejoice at her overthrow, and a mighty angel had described the manner of it, and had expressed her ruin in the strongest terms, with the reasons of it, John heard the songs of the righteous, as follow:

I heard a great voice of much people in heaven: not literally taken, for these are not the innumerable company of angels, who are never called people; nor the spirits of just men made perfect, or the souls of departed saints, but men on earth; wherefore heaven designs the church, as in Rev 18:20 and frequently in this book; the people are the same with the 144000 seen with the Lamb on Mount Zion, Rev 14:1 and with those on the sea of glass, who had got the victory over the beast, Rev 15:2 and are no other than God's covenant people, who are given to Christ, and made willing to be his in the day of his power; and though they are but a seed, a remnant, a small company, when compared with the world and carnal professors; yet are a large body of themselves, especially they will be at this time, when the nation of the Jews shall be born at once, and the fulness of the Gentiles will be brought in: and their voice on this occasion, the downfall of Rome, is said to be "great" partly on account of their number, who will join together in acclamations of praise, and partly on account of their great affection and vehemency of spirit, which will be raised hereby:

saying Alleluia; an Hebrew word, which signifies "praise ye the Lord". The Jews say ⁿ, that the book of Psalms consists of ten sorts of songs, but Hallelujah is the greatest of them, because it comprehends the name (Jehovah) and praise in one word: and it is observable that this word, which is often used in the Psalms, is first used when the Psalmist desires the utter consumption and destruction of sinners and wicked men on earth, and is here taken up by the saints at the destruction of the man of sin and son of perdition; see Psa 104:35 and its being an Hebrew word shows that at this time the Jews will be converted, and that Jews and Gentiles will become one church state, and will worship and praise the Lord together; for the word is a call upon the saints to join together in solemn praise and thanksgiving; who is to be praised for the perfections of his nature, for the works of his hands, both of nature and grace; and for his righteous judgments on his and his church's enemies; and this is to be done in concert:

salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: salvation, temporal, spiritual, and eternal, is of God; "salvation" from antichristian power and tyranny, and from all enemies, and the everlasting salvation of the soul; and the "glory" of it belongs to all the three Persons; they are glorious in themselves, and deserve all glory to be ascribed to them by man, and especially by the saints: "honour" is also their due; God the Father is to be honoured because he is the Father, and the Son is to he honoured as the Father is, and the Holy Spirit is not to be grieved, but to be highly esteemed and valued, and equally with the other two Persons: and "power" belongs to them all, and is seen in the works of creation, redemption, and sanctification.
