COMMENTARY ON THE APOCALYPSE 19:1-4 (614)

"Hallelujah" signifies divine praise, while "Amen" means "truly" or "let it be so." This praise is common both from the angelic powers as well as from humankind, which is similar to the angels, and this praise is sent up to God three times on account …

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

And after these things - The things particularly that were exhibited in the previous chapter. See the notes on Rev 18:1. I heard a great voice of much people in heaven - The voice of the worshippers before the throne. Saying, Alleluia - The Greek method of writing “Hallelujah.” This word - ἀλληλούΐα allēlouia - occurs in the New Testament only in this chapter, Rev 19:1, Rev 19:3-4, Rev 19:6. The Hebrew phrase - הללוּ יה haleluw Yah “Hallelujah” - occurs often in the Old Testament.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Compare Ps 149:4-9, which is plainly parallel, and indeed identical in many of the phrases, as well as the general idea. Israel, especially, will join in the Hallelujah, when "her warfare is accomplished" and her foe destroyed. Salvation, &c.--Greek, "The salvation . . . the glory . . . the power." and honour--so Coptic.
