Vincent, [1886]\nHallelujah (\u1f00\u03bb\u03bb\u03b7\u03bb\u03bf\u03cd\u0390\u0301\u03b1)\nHebrew. Praise ye the Lord. Only in Revelation and in this chapter. Fifteen of the Psalms either begin or end with this word. The Jewish anthem of praise (Psalm 104-109), sung chiefly at the feasts of the Passover and of Tabernacles, derived its title of the Great Hallel from the frequent use of that phrase.\nHonor\nOmit. On the doxologies in Revelation, see on Rev 1:6.\nTrue (\u1f00\u03bb\u03b7\u03b8\u03b9\u03bd\u03b1\u1f76)\nSee on Joh 1:9.\nDid corrupt (\u1f14\u03c6\u03b8\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03b5\u03bd)\nThe imperfect tense denoting habit.\nAvenged (\u1f10\u03be\u03b5\u03b4\u03af\u03ba\u03b7\u03c3\u03b5\u03bd)\nExacted vengeance from (\u1f10\u03be).\nAt her hand (\u1f10\u03ba)\nLit., \"from her hand.\" See on Rev 2:7; see on Rev 18:20.\nHer smoke, etc.\nCompare Isa 34:10.\nAll ye His servants - small and great\nCompare Psa 115:13; Psa 134:1.\nThe marriage of the Lamb\nFor the figure, compare Isa 54:1-8; Eze 16:7-14; Hos 2:19; Mat 9:15; Joh 3:29; Eph 5:25.\nFine linen (\u03b2\u03cd\u03c3\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd)\nSee on Luk 16:19. The four vestments of the ordinary Jewish priest were made of linen or byssus. Their symbolic meaning depended in part on the whiteness and luster of their substance (\u03ba\u03b1\u03b8\u03b1\u03c1\u1f78\u03bd \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03bb\u03b1\u03bc\u03c0\u03c1\u03cc\u03bd pure and bright).\nRighteousness (\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03ce\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1)\nMore strictly, as Rev. righteous acts.\nSee thou do it not (\u1f45\u03c1\u03b1 \u03bc\u03ae)\nSee not (to do it).\nThe testimony of Jesus (\u1f21 \u03bc\u03b1\u03c1\u03c4\u03c5\u03c1\u03af\u03b1 \u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6 \u1f39\u03b7\u03c3\u03bf\u1fe6)\nSome explain as the testimony which proceeds from Jesus. Jesus, by imparting this testimony to believers imparts to them the spirit of prophecy. Others, the witness which is born to Jesus. The way of bearing this witness, the substance and essence of this testimony is the Spirit of prophecy.\nA white horse\nCompare Rev 6:2.\nCrowns (\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03b4\u03ae\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1)\nSee on Pe1 5:4; see on Jam 1:12.\nDipped (\u03b2\u03b5\u03b2\u03b1\u03bc\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd)\nThe readings differ; some giving \u1fe5\u03b5\u03c1\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd sprinkled, others \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c1\u03b5\u03c1\u03b1\u03bc\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd sprinkled round. Rev., sprinkled. Compare Isa 63:2, Isa 63:3.\nThe Word of God (\u1f41 \u039b\u03cc\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2 \u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6 \u0398\u03b5\u03bf\u1fe6)\nThis name for our Lord is found in the New Testament only in the writings of John. It is one of the links which connects Revelation with John's other writings. Compare Joh 1:1-14; Jo1 1:1. Some object to this on the ground that, in the Gospel of John, the term is used absolutely, the Word, whereas here it is qualified, the Word of God, which the Evangelist nowhere employs, and in Jo1 1:1, the Word of life. But, as Alford observes: \"It may be left to any fair-judging reader to decide whether it be not a far greater argument for identity that the remarkable designation \u1f41 \u039b\u03cc\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2 the Word is used, than for diversity, that, on the solemn occasion described in the Apocalypse, the hitherto unheard adjunct of God is added.\" The idea of God which is represented here, underlies the absolute term the Word in Joh 1:1. It is further urged that in the Gospel \u1f41 \u039b\u03cc\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2 is applied to the prehistoric Christ, while in this passage it is applied to the historic Christ. But the name of the historic Christ is that referred to in Rev 19:12, not in Rev 19:13. It is the name \"which no one knoweth but He Himself,\" expressing the character of His whole redeeming work. The name in Rev 19:13 is that which belongs originally and essentially to Him.\nFollowed (\u1f20\u03ba\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03cd\u03b8\u03b5\u03b9)\nNote the imperfect tense denoting progression, and thus describing the advancing movement of the host.\nSword\nSee on Rev 1:16.\nSmite (\u03c0\u03b1\u03c4\u03ac\u03c3\u03c3\u1fc3)\nSee on Rev 11:6.\nShall rule (\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03bc\u03b1\u03bd\u03b5\u1fd6)\nSee on Rev 2:27.\nWine-press\nSee on Rev 14:19.\nOf the fierceness and wrath (\u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6 \u03b8\u03c5\u03bc\u03bf\u1fe6 \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03c4\u1fc6\u03c2 \u1f40\u03c1\u03b3\u1fc6\u03c2)\nOmit and, and render, as Rev., the fierceness of the wrath. See on Joh 3:36.\nOf Almighty God (\u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6 \u03b8\u03b5\u03bf\u1fe6 \u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6 \u03c0\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03bf\u03ba\u03c1\u03ac\u03c4\u03bf\u03c1\u03bf\u03c2)\nLit., of God the all-ruler. See on Rev 1:8.\nOn His thigh\nSome explain, on the garment where it covers the thigh to which the sword is bound. Compare Psa 45:3. Others, partly on the vesture, partly on the thigh itself, where, in an equestrian figure, the robe drops from the thigh. According to the former explanation \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 and is to be taken as explanatory or definitive of the words on His vesture. Others again suppose a sword on the hilt of which the name is inscribed. Expositors refer to the custom of engraving the artist's name on the thigh of a statue. Thus Cicero says: \"A most beautiful statue of Apollo, on the thigh of which the name of Myron had been graven in tiny letters of silver\" (\"Against Verres,\" iv., 43). Herodotus describes a figure of Sesostris, bearing across the breast from shoulder to shoulder the inscription written in the sacred character of Egypt: \"With my own shoulders I conquered this land\" (ii., 106). Rawlinson says that Assyrian figures are found with arrow-headed inscriptions engraved across them, and over the drapery as well as the body.\nAn angel (\u1f15\u03bd\u03b1 \u1f04\u03b3\u03b3\u03b5\u03bb\u03bf\u03bd)\nLit., \"one angel.\"\nFowls (\u1f40\u03c1\u03bd\u03ad\u03bf\u03b9\u03c2)\nSee on Rev 18:2. Rev., birds.\nMidst of heaven\nSee on Rev 8:13.\nGather yourselves together (\u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03ac\u03b3\u03b5\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5)\nThe best texts read \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03ac\u03c7\u03b8\u03b7\u03c4\u03b5 be gathered together, as Rev. Compare Eze 39:17 sqq.\nThe supper of the great God (\u03c4\u1f78 \u03b4\u03b5\u1fd6\u03c0\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd \u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6 \u03bc\u03b5\u03b3\u03ac\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5 \u0398\u03b5\u03bf\u1fe6)\nRead \u03c4\u1f78 \u03bc\u03ad\u03b3\u03b1 \u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6 for \u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6 \u03bc\u03b5\u03b3\u03ac\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5, and render the great supper of God.\nCaptains (\u03c7\u03b9\u03bb\u03b9\u03ac\u03c1\u03c7\u03c9\u03bd)\nSee on Mar 6:21; see on Luk 7:2.\nWas taken (\u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03ac\u03c3\u03b8\u03b7)\nSee on Act 3:7.\nMark\nSee on Rev 13:16.\nLake (\u03bb\u03af\u03bc\u03bd\u03b7\u03bd)\nSee on Luk 5:1.\nBrimstone\nSee on Rev 14:10.\nWere filled (\u1f10\u03c7\u03bf\u03c1\u03c4\u03ac\u03c3\u03b8\u03b7\u03c3\u03b1\u03bd)\nSee on Mat 5:6.","title":"Vincent's Word Studies: Revelation: Revelation Chapter 19","type":"page"}
