REVELATION CHAPTER 19
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.
