SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:4
Y los veinticuatro ancianos y los cuatro animales cayeron sobre sus rostros , y adoraron a Dios que estaba sentado sobre el trono, diciendo: ¡Amn! ¡Alelu-JAH!
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Revelation 19:4
Verse 4. The four and twenty elders] The true Church of the Lord Jesus converted from among the Jews. See chap. iv. 10; v. 14.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts , etc.] Mentioned in ( Revelation 4:4,6) 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 5:8-10,14 7:11 11:16,17 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 4:2,3) 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 ( <19A648> Psalm 106:48), (see Revelation 5:14).
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.
