In this Hallelujah there are these 2. things considerable. First, what it is for which this Hallelujah is sung. Secondly, from whom. First, what it is for? It is for this, because the Lord God omnipotent reigneth, the Lord God, that is, Christ; Christ now appears to be Lord God: his Lordship and Dominion was much darkened before: now it appears to all the world, that he is Lord God, Lord God omnipotent: the Name of Christ is the mighty God, as 9. Isay, 6. but he is but little known by this Name in comparison: after Antichrist is fallen, he shall be known by his own Name, the mighty God, the Lord God omnipotent, the Lord God omnipotent reigneth; his Crown and Dignity were as it were hidden before in comparison: little of the power of the Sovereignty of Christ did outwardly appear before: but now it shall appear, before the eyes of all his enemies, that it is he that reigns, he hath the Kingdom of Kingdoms, and is the Lord of Lords. 2. From whence came this Hallelujah, I heard as it were the Voice of a great Multitude, and as the voice of many Waters: by Waters we are to understand People; the voice of many Waters, of many People.
