Heaven Exults over Babylon

1 After these things aI heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! bSalvation and glory and honor and power belong to2 the Lord our God!  
2 For atrue and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He bhas avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”  
3 Again they said, “Alleluia! aHer smoke rises up forever and ever!”  
4 And athe twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, b“Amen! Alleluia!”  
5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, a“Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, bboth small and great!”  
6 aAnd I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For bthe Lord God Omnipotent reigns!  
7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for athe marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”  
8 And ato her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, bfor the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.  
9 Then he said to me, “Write: a‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, b“These are the true sayings of God.”  
10 And aI fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, b“See that you do not do that! I am your cfellow servant, and of your brethren dwho have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the etestimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

John Wesley's Notes

Revelation 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, Exodus 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," Revelation 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. The salvation - Is opposed to the destruction which the great whore had brought upon the earth. His power and glory - Appear from the judgment executed on her, and from the setting up his kingdom to endure through all ages.
