1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God:
a great multitude in heaven – you may wonder why we first see the Sanctified Church in heaven, and then go backwards to see the work of the Sanctified Church on earth in verses 11-18? This was also the style of Chapter 14, which began with the final sanctified elect of Israel, 144,000, and then detailed the process to get there. Chapter 14 and 19 are parallel Chapters that describe the removal of the lawlessness from the kingdom of heaven in the last days. And of course, the Book of Revelation begins with end, the Lord’s Day. But, the meaning of “in heaven” can describe the true saints on earth, “who dwell in heaven” as in Rev 13:16, “for you died and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Col 3:3).
Hallelujah! – if there is any mark of the Sanctified Church of the last days, it is the repeated use of the phrase “Hallelujah!”
Salvation and glory belongs to our God – it is the Sanctified Church that brings the true gospel in Rev 14:6. The Angel “flying in the midst of heaven” in Rev 14:6 is the Spirit of Christ, as the body of Christ; the Rider on the White horse, who meet in verse 11.
