And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
And a second time they say, Hallelujah. And her smoke goeth up for ever and ever.
And again they said, Praise to the Lord. And her smoke went up for ever and ever.
And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
A second said, "Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever."
And a second time they say, Hallelujah. And her smoke goeth up for ever and ever.
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.
And again they said, Alleluia - See the notes on Revelation 19:1. The event was so glorious and so important; the final destruction of the great enemy of the church was of so much moment in its bearing on the welfare of the world, as to call forth repeated expressions of praise.
And her smoke rose up forever and ever - See the notes on Revelation 14:11. This is an image of final ruin; the image being derived probably from the description in Genesis of the smoke that ascended from the cities of the plain, Genesis 19:28. On the joy expressed here in her destruction, compare the notes on Revelation 18:20.
