REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Eight - Praise Jah for His Judgments

 Hallelujah indeed!  The word means "Praise Jah, you people," "Jah being one shortened form of the divine name, Jehovah.  We are  here reminded of the exhortation of the psalmist: "Every breathing thing-let it praise Jah. Praise Jah, you people!" (Psalm 150:6)  John's hearing the exultant heavenly chorus sing "Hallelujah!" twice at this point in Revelation demonstrates the continuity of the devine revelation of truth. The God of the Christian Greek Scriptures is the same as the God of the earlier Hebrews Scriptures, and Jehovah is his name.  The God that caused the fall of ancient Babylon the Great.  Ascribe to him all glorty for that feat! The power that maneuvered her downfall belongs to him rather than to the nations that he used as intruments in desolating her.  To Jehovah alone we must attriute salvations. - ISAIAH 12:2; REVELATION 4:11; 7:10, 12.
