Revelation 19:1-4

The triumphant song of angels Revelation 19:1-4: The rejoicing over the fall of the great harlot continued. There was a great shout as from many people in heaven that together praised the Lord for His majesty, dominion and authority. The shout was "Hallelujah." Hallelujah means praise the Lord! He was praised because salvation, glory, splendor, majesty, power, dominion and authority belong to our God! God was praised because of His judgment against the great whore that had corrupted the earth with her fornication. She had corrupted and demoralized and poisoned the earth with her lewdness and adultery.

Those in heaven rejoiced because the Almighty God had avenged the blood of His saints at that hand of the harlot. They had prayed to God for vengeance and now their prayers had been heard and answered. A great part of the rejoicing had to do with the fact that this was a forever judgment against this evil force. The smoke of her burning shall continue to ascend through the eternity. The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures gave their approval to what had happened by falling prostrate and worshipping God.
