In biblical literature, repetition often signifies certainty and emphasis. The context here is the heavenly multitude praising God for His righteous judgment. The use of "they" refers to the multitude in heaven, possibly including angels and the redeemed, who are witnessing the fall of Babylon, symbolizing the ultimate defeat of evil.<p><b>“Hallelujah!</b><br>"Hallelujah" is a Hebrew word meaning "Praise the Lord." It is a term of worship and adoration, used frequently in the Psalms. In the New Testament, it appears only in <a href="/revelation/19.htm">Revelation 19</a>, underscoring the climactic nature of this moment. The use of "Hallelujah" here reflects the joy and reverence of the heavenly hosts in response to God's justice and sovereignty.<p><b>Her smoke rises forever and ever.”</b><br>This imagery of smoke rising eternally signifies the complete and irreversible destruction of Babylon, representing the corrupt world system opposed to God. The phrase "forever and ever" emphasizes the eternal nature of God's judgment. This echoes the imagery found in <a href="/isaiah/34-10.htm">Isaiah 34:10</a>, where the smoke of Edom's destruction is described as rising forever. It also connects to the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah in <a href="/genesis/19.htm">Genesis 19</a>, where smoke is a symbol of divine judgment.
