Context of Revelation 19:5
3A second time they said, Hallelujah! Her smoke ascends forever and ever! 4Then the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who is seated on the throne, saying, Amen! Hallelujah! A voice came from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all his servants, and the ones who fear him, both small and great! 6Then I heard something like the voice of a vast multitude, like the sound of cascading waters, and like the rumbling of loud thunder, saying, Hallelujah, because our Lord God, the Almighty, reigns! 7Let us be glad, rejoice, and give him glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his bride has prepared herself.
