Context of Revelation 19:5

3A 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!” A voice came from the throne. It said, “Praise our God, all who serve and fear him, no matter who you are.” 6I heard what sounded like the noise from a large crowd, like the noise of raging waters, like the noise of loud thunder, saying, “Hallelujah! The Lord our God, the Almighty, has become king. 7Let us rejoice, be happy, and give him glory because it’s time for the marriage of the lamb. His bride has made herself ready.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5And a voice came out of the throne - A voice seemed to come from the very midst of the throne. It is not said by whom this voice was uttered.
