Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 19:1

1 AND after these thing I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying , Alleluja ; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God :

After the pouring out of the fifth Vial upon the Seat of the Beast, ch. 16.19. (for ch. 17, and 18. as we have formerly hinted, is but a Parenthesis to the History). God in this Chapter more fully describes the Effects of the pouring out that Vial.

It may be understood either of the third Heavens, or the Heaven upon Earth, the Church of God; for the Church Triumphant and Militant both will concur in praising God for the ruine of Antichrist's Power.

Allelujah is an Hebrew word, and signifies, Praise ye the Lord.

All these are but terms of Honour and Praise given unto God, acknowledging that the Churches Salvation is from him, the Effect of his Power; and that to him upon that account all Honour and Glory imaginable is due, as having shewn himself his Peoples God.
