SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:3
Y otra vez dijeron: Alelu-JAH. Y su humo subi para siempre jams.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Revelation 19:3
Verse 3. Her smoke rose up] There was, and shall be, a continual evidence of God's judgments executed on this great whore or idolatrous city; nor shall it ever be restored.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. And again they said, Alleluia , etc.] Or a second time they said it; they began and ended their solemn worship and service with it; so some psalms begin and end with this word, translated in the Old Testament by the words Praise ye the LORD, as in ( <19A601> Psalm 106:1,48 113:1,9) etc. and the repeating of the word shows how hearty, arnest, and constant they were in the work of praise on this account: and her smoke rose up for ever and ever ; they repeated their hallelujah, or gave one spiritual huzza more at the burning of Rome, and this followed: or the words may be rendered, for her smoke rose, etc. and so are a reason for the second hallelujah: it looks as if Rome, like another Sodom and Gomorrah, would sink into a sulphurous burning lake, and continue so: respect is had to the everlasting punishment of antichrist and his followers in hell, and to the everlasting burnings that will follow Rome's temporal destruction, which was an example and symbol of the vengeance of eternal fire; (see Revelation 14:11) so the Jews say of the burning of Rome, that its fire shall not be quenched for ever, and that its smoke shall rise up for.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - Praising God for what we have, is praying for what is yet further to be done for us. There is harmony between the angels and the saints in thi triumphant song. Christ is the Bridegroom of his ransomed church. Thi second union will be completed in heaven; but the beginning of the glorious millennium (by which is meant a reign of Christ, or a state of happiness, for a thousand years on earth) may be considered as the celebration of his espousals on earth. Then the church of Christ, being purified from errors, divisions, and corruptions, in doctrine discipline, worship, and practice, will be made ready to be publicl owned by him as his delight and his beloved. The church appeared; no in the gay, gaudy dress of the mother of harlots, but in fine linen clean and white. In the robes of Christ's righteousness, imputed for justification, and imparted for sanctification. The promises of the gospel, the true sayings of God, opened, applied, and sealed by the Spirit of God, in holy ordinances, are the marriage-feast. This seem to refer to the abundant grace and consolation Christians will receiv in the happy days which are to come. The apostle offered honour to the angel. The angel refused it. He directed the apostle to the true an only object of religious worship; to worship God, and him alone. Thi plainly condemns the practice of those who worship the elements of bread and wine, and saints, and angels; and of those who do not believ that Christ is truly and by nature God, yet pay him a sort of worship They stand convicted of idolatry by a messenger from heaven. These ar the true sayings of God; of Him who is to be worshipped, as one with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
