Revelation 19
A great multitude in heaven cries out with four Hallelujahs (unique in the New Testament)—Hallelujah, Salvation and glory and power belong to our God; Hallelujah, her smoke rises up forever and ever; Hallelujah, sing praise to our God all his servants; Hallelujah, for the Lord our God the Almighty reigns—the eschatological song of the redeemed. The marriage supper of the Lamb begins, his bride adorned in fine linen bright and pure—the wedding feast celebrating the consummation of the relationship between Christ and the church, finally perfected and united eternally. The warrior on the white horse, called Faithful and True, has eyes of fire, a name written known only to himself, and robes dipped in blood—the One who judges and wages war in righteousness. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God—identifying the warrior as the divine Logos who executes judgment upon creation's rebellion. The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen white and clean, follow the Word of God on white horses as he strikes down the nations with a sharp sword and rules them with a rod of iron, treading the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. From his mouth comes a sharp sword to strike down the nations, and he is named King of kings and Lord of lords, establishing his supreme and absolute authority over all creation.
Revelation 19:5
Then a voice came from the throne, saying: 'Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both great and small!' - the throne's voice summons all servants (both earthly and heavenly, great and small) to join in praise. Universal worship of God is called forth.
Revelation 19:1
After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: 'Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God' - the heavenly multitude erupts in the only extended use of 'Hallelujah' in the New Testament (four times in Rev 19:1-6), a Hebrew cry of 'Praise Yah' (the Lord). Salvation, glory, and power are attributed to God alone.
Revelation 19:2
'for true and just are his judgments; he has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries; he has avenged on her the blood of his servants' - the heavenly chorus celebrates God's just judgment of Babylon and the vindication of the martyred saints. True justice has finally been executed.
Revelation 19:3
And again they shouted: 'Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever' - the eternal smoke rising from Babylon (echoing Revelation 14:11) symbolizes the permanence of her judgment. The repeated 'Hallelujah' emphasizes the joy of God's justice.
Revelation 19:4
The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne, and cried: 'Amen, Hallelujah!' - the heavenly representatives (elders and living creatures from earlier visions) add their 'Amen' and 'Hallelujah,' affirming the justice of Babylon's fall. Cosmic worship cascades.
