"And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude," signifies the glorification of the Lord by all who are in the heavens, on account of the rejection of the evil, and the consequent liberation of the good; "and as the voice of many waters," signifies glorification of Him from truths; "and as the voice of mighty thunders," signifies glorification of Him from the goods of love; "saying, Alleluia, for the Lord God the Omnipotent reigneth," signifies joy and gladness that the Lord has now a kingdom on earth as in the heavens. "Let us rejoice and exult, and give glory to him," signifies manifestation of joy from the affection for truth and from the affection for good; "for the marriage of the Lamb is come," signifies the conjunction of the Lord with the church; "and his wife hath made herself ready," signifies that the church is now adorned with truths from good to receive Him.
