Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
  • Notice, these voices are in the heavens, not the earth.
  • Here are the saints that we read about in Revelation 5, Which were already at the altar.
  • In Greek, a better translation for ''much people'' would be ''My people''.
2 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.
  • Here is the avenging which was called for by the saints in Revelation 6
3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
  • This smoke is the haze of deception, And it will be no more.
  • Psalms 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
    Ps 37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

    19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
    20 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
    21 Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
  • These are the same beasts that properly translated, mean the cherubim's.
  • This is the last time they will be mentioned in the Bible.
  • The elders have completed their work and are giving praise.
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

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.

7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
  • Notice the word used here is ''wife'', not widow, virgin, or bride. Which were words used through out Revelation to denote His wife.
  • He has returned and claimed His own, the first fruits, or elect, They have become His wife again.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
  • ''Righteousness'' in the original text reads ''righteous acts''.
  • This explains how the wife in verse 7 makes herself ready.
  • Clean and white bright and pure. The fine linen is, your ''righteous acts'' this is your works. That she, the elect, accomplished in the face of Satan.
  • Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
  • Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.

  • Isaiah 54:1 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
  • When Christ said, "Blesses are those that are barren''.
  • He spoke of all souls whether they were in widowhood (already married) or virgin brides awaiting their husband.
  • God is more natural than we are, therefore He can see natural things, such as marriage to help us better understand the emotions and feeling that He relates to us.
  • Notice the word ''called''.

  • Matthew 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
    12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
    13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
    14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
  • This is what he talking about in this verse.
  • He sent out His servants with invitations to His wedding, But no one came, The servants were killed.

  • What city? Babylon

  • Satan comes with power, to deceive them that have not study God's word.
  • With which he deceived them that had received the mark = they followed Satan
  • These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone,
  • Satan's angels = Rev 11 the 7000 are cast into the lake of fire
