QUOTES:

“Throughout history, political systems have “used” religious bodies to further their political causes… Satan (and Antichrist) will use the apostate religious system to accomplish his own ends (i.e., attain world power), but then he will do away with “the harlot” and establish his own religious system. And all of this will be the fulfillment of God’s Word (Rev. 17:17).”
–Warren Wiersbe

“Here, the focus of worship is on the great works of God, specifically, His work of righteous judgment.” –David Guzik

“The song emphasizes God’s attributes, which is the proper way to honor Him. We do not rejoice at the sinfulness of Babylon, or even the greatness of Babylon’s fall. We rejoice that God is “true and righteous” (Rev. 15:3; 16:7; 17:6) and that He is glorified by His holy judgments” –Warren Wiersbe

“Heaven is always heaven, and unspeakably full of blessedness; but even heaven has its holidays, even bliss has its overflowings; and on that day when the springtide of the infinite ocean of joy shall have come, what a measureless flood of delight shall overflow the souls of all glorified spirits... We do not know yet, beloved, of what happiness we are capable.” –Charles Spurgeon

“It belongs here – because God’s people rejoice without restraint at His victory over Babylon.” –David Guzik

“Anselm of Canterbury, considers it an angelic word, which cannot be fully reproduced in any language of man, and concurs with Augustine that the feeling and saying of it embodies all the blessedness of heaven.” –Joseph Seiss

“In my study of it, question after question has come up, even with regard to some of the most essential points, which I find it very hard to answer satisfactorily.” –Joseph Seiss

“On that day, everyone will see the church for what she really is: the precious bride of Jesus.” –David Guzik

“The Bride of Christ is a sort of Cinderella now, sitting among the ashes. She is like her Lord, ‘despised and rejected of men’; the watchmen smite her, and take away her veil from her; for they know her not, even as they knew not her Lord. But when he shall appear, then shall she appear also, and in his glorious manifestation she also shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of the Father.” –Charles Spurgeon

“[in referencing v. 8 and the “righteous acts of the saints”] It distinctly implies that the saints have more than one righteousness, as the Scriptures elsewhere teach. There is a righteousness of justification, and a righteousness of life and sanctification. There is a righteous-ness which is the free gift of God in Christ Jesus, and a righteous-ness of man’s own active obedience to God’s ordinances and commands. True, saints have both; a righteousness by imputation through faith without works, and a righteousness which is the fruit of faith, consisting of works springing from and wrought in faith… She is clothed with the fine and shining linen of “the righteousnesses of the saints,” the righteousness of a free justification by faith in her Lord who died for her, and the righteousness of a life of earnest, active, and grateful devotion to make herself meet and worthy for so good and gracious a Husband.” –Joseph Seiss

“Certainly the bride is not invited to her own wedding! This invitation goes out to the guests, believers from the Old Testament era and the tribulation. During the eternal state, no distinctions will be made among the people of God, but in the kingdom age, differences will still exist as the church reigns with Christ and as Israel enjoys the promised messianic blessings.”
–Warren Wiersbe

“Whether as bride or guest, the whole Church of the first-born, from Adam down to the last martyr under the Antichrist, shall be there, radiant in that redemption for which they hoped and suffered.” –Joseph Seiss
