Revelation 19:6

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. MANY WATERS. Contrast the "many waters" on which the whore sitteth (). This verse is the hearty response to the stirring call, 'Halleluia! Praise our God,' etc. (Revelation 19:4). THE LORD GOD OMNIPOTENT - `the Omnipotent.' REIGNETH - reigned: hence, reigneth once for all. His reign is a fact established. Babylon, the harlot, was one great hindrance to His reign being recognized. Her overthrow clears the way for His advent to reign: not merely Rome, but all Christendom, in so far as it compromised Chris...

1-10 Praising God for what we have, is praying for what is yet further to be done for us. There is harmony between the angels and the saints in this triumphant song. Christ is the Bridegroom of his ransomed church. This second union will be completed in heaven; but the beginning of the glorious millennium (by which is meant a reign of Christ, or a state of happiness, for a thousand years on earth) may be considered as the celebration of his espousals on earth. Then the church of Christ, being purified from errors, divisions, and corruptions, in doctrine, discipline, worship, and practice, will be made ready to be publicly owned by him as his delight and his beloved. The church appeared; not in the gay, gaudy dress of the mother of harlots, but in fine linen, clean and white. In the robes of Christ's righteousness, imputed for justification, and imparted for sanctification. The promises...

Verse Revelation 19:6. _THE VOICE OF A GREAT MULTITUDE_] This is the catholic or universal Church of God gathered from among the _Gentiles_. _THE LORD GOD OMNIPOTENT REIGNETH._] Εβασιλευσε Κυριος ὁ Θεος ὁ παντοκρατωρ. Many excellent MSS., most of the _versions_, with _Andreas_ and _Arethas_, the two most ancient commentators on this book, add ημων, _our_, after ο θεος and according to this the text reads emphatically thus: OUR _Lord God, the Almighty,_ _reigneth_. What consolation to every genuine Christian that _HIS_ _Lord_ and _God_ is the _Almighty_, and that this Almighty never trusts the reins of the government of the universe out of his hands! What therefore has his Church to fear?...

AND I HEARD AS IT WERE THE VOICE OF A GREAT MULTITUDE - In Revelation 19:1 he says that he “heard a great voice of much people”; here he says he “heard as it were a voice of a great multitude.” That is, in the former case he heard a shout that he at once recognized as the voice of a great multitude of persons; here he says that he heard a sound not distinctly recognized at first as such, but which resembled such a shout of a multitude. In the former case it was distinct; here it was confused - bearing a resemblance to the sound of roaring waters, or to muttering thunder, but less distinct than the former. This phrase would imply: (a)A louder sound; and, (b)That the sound was more remote, and therefore less clear and distinct....

EXPOSITION REVELATION 19:1 AND AFTER THESE THINGS I HEARD A GREAT VOICE OF MUCH PEOPLE IN HEAVEN, SAYING; _after these things I heard, as it were, a great voice of a great multitude, _etc. The usual introduction to a new phase of a vision (see Revelation 4:1, etc.). The "great voice," as usual, characteristic of the heavenly utterances (see Revelation 5:2, etc.). Again, we are not told whose the utterance is. It may well be that of all the heavenly inhabitants and saints in glory (cf Revelation 7:9). As usual in the Apocalypse, at the termination of a description o

AND I HEARD, AS IT WERE, THE VOICE OF A GREAT MULTITUDE,.... Even of all the servants of the Lord, and them that fear him, small and great; a vast multitude of converted Jews and Gentiles, in the several parts of the world, who in answer to the voice out of the throne, which came with great power and energy, lift up their voices in praise to God, both for their own conversion, and for the downfall of Babylon: AND AS THE VOICE OF MANY WATERS: falling down in a descent, or in rough and rocky places, which make a great noise, and is heard afar off; and such must be the united voice of so great a multitude of converts as will be gathered together everywhere at this time: the same metaphor is used of the voice of Christ in Revelation 1:15 AND AS THE VOICE OF MIGHTY THUNDERINGS; violent claps of it, which are sometimes so loud that they rend the very he

Revelation 19:1. _And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, praying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen: Alleluia._ For the overthrow of a monstrous system of error gives delight to all holy spirits, and chiefly to those who stand nearest the eternal throne. Revelation 19:5. And a voice came out of the throne saying, Praise our God
