Revelation 19:4 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 19:4

And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts
Mentioned in ( Revelation 4:4 Revelation 4:6 ) and who represent the churches of Christ and ministers of the Gospel in the several periods of time, these join in the chorus, and praise the Lord on the account of the destruction of Rome, and ruin of antichrist; so they are often heard of in this book, when any remarkable thing is done, or when there is any breaking forth of the kingdom and glory of Christ; see ( Revelation 5:8-10 Revelation 5:14 ) ( 7:11 ) ( Revelation 11:16 Revelation 11:17 ) ( 14:3 ) ( 15:7 ) these

fell down;
on their faces before God, as in ( Revelation 4:10 ) ( 11:16 ) in great reverence of him, and of his righteous judgments:

and worshipped God that sat on the throne;
described in ( Revelation 4:2 Revelation 4:3 ) this refers to the public worship of God in the churches, by the ministers and members of them:

saying, Amen; Alleluia;
they said "Amen", and signified their assent to what the much people in heaven had said, ( Revelation 19:1-3 ) and joined in the same "hallelujah", or expressions of praise to God, for this great appearance of his in the downfall of Babylon. Both these words are used together in ( Psalms 106:48 ) , see ( Revelation 5:14 ) .

Revelation 19:4 In-Context

2 His judgments are true and just, because he judged the great prostitute, who ruined the earth by her whoring, and he exacted the penalty for the blood of his servants from her hand."

3 Then they said a second time, "Hallelujah! Smoke goes up from her forever and always."

4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God, who is seated on the throne, and they said, "Amen. Hallelujah!"

5 Then a voice went out from the throne and said, "Praise our God, all you his servants, and you who fear him, both small and great."

6 And I heard something that sounded like a huge crowd, like rushing water and powerful thunder. They said, "Hallelujah! The Lord our God, the Almighty, exercised his royal power!
