Topic: HALLELUIAH

MEMORIZE: “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:” Revelation 19:1.

SCRIPTURE READING: Revelation 19:1-6.

“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: 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. 3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 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.”   

EXPOSITION:

In the New Testament, ALLELUIAH means “Praise ye Jehovah.”  Halleluiah is the song of the heavenly being. It is praises to God Almighty. It was sung by the twenty-four elders in worship of the majesty of God. It has become the song of the saints too to the Lord. It must be sang in humility and righteousness. Halleluiah is the song of victory and must be sang in righteousness. It is a continuous song in heaven that the saints will be singing without ending.

The word “Alleluiah” occurs at the beginning and at the end of many psalms  (106, 111, 112, 113, etc.).  It was also sung on solemn days of rejoicing as an expression of joy and praise, and as such it has been adopted in the Christian church, and is still used in devotional psalmody, Re 19:1, 3, 4, +6 (106, 111, 112, 113, etc.).

HEAVEN & EARTH JOINED TOGETHER IN WORSHIPPING GOD – Rev. 19:1-6.

1. The form of their thanksgiving, in that heavenly and most comprehensive word, Alleluia, praise you the Lord: with this they begin, with this they go on, and with this they end (Re 19:4); their prayers are now turned into praises, their hosannas end in halleluias. 

2. The matter of their thanksgiving: they praise him for the truth of his word, and the righteousness of his providential conduct, especially in this great event--the ruin of Babylon, which had been a mother, nurse, and nest of idolatry, lewdness, and cruelty Re 19:2, for which signal example of divine justice they ascribe salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto our God. 

3. The effect of these their praises: when the angels and saints cried Alleluia, her fire burned more fiercely and her smoke ascended for ever and ever, Re 19:3. The surest way to have our deliverances continued and completed is to give God the glory of what he has done for us. Praising God for what we have is praying in the most effectual manner for what is yet further to be done for us; the praises of the saints blow up the fire of God's wrath against the common enemy. 

4. The blessed harmony between the angels and the saints in this triumphant song, Re 19:4. The churches and their ministers take the melodious sound from the angels, and repeat it; falling down, and worshipping God, they cry, Amen, Alleluia.

ACTION POINT: Praise God at all time for He is worthy of it. When you praise God from a perfect heart, you join the heavenly host in exalting Him.
