Context of Revelation 19:3

1After these things I heard what sounded like the loud noise from a large crowd in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God. 2His judgments are true and fair. He has condemned the notorious prostitute who corrupted the world with her sexual sins. He has taken revenge on her for the blood of his servants.” A second time they said, “Hallelujah! The smoke goes up from her forever and ever.” 4The 24 leaders and the 4 living creatures bowed and worshiped God, who was sitting on the throne. They said, “Amen! Hallelujah!” 5A voice came from the throne. It said, “Praise our God, all who serve and fear him, no matter who you are.”
