And a second time they called out
This phrase introduces a repeated proclamation, emphasizing the importance and intensity of the message. The act of calling out a second time signifies a confirmation or reinforcement of what has been previously declared. In the context of ancient Jewish tradition, repetition often serves to underscore the certainty and significance of a statement. The Greek word used here for "called out" is "εἶπαν" (eipan), which is a form of the verb "λέγω" (lego), meaning to speak or say. This repetition reflects the heavenly host's unwavering commitment to God's justice and the finality of His judgments.

Hallelujah!
The term "Hallelujah" is a transliteration of the Hebrew phrase "הַלְלוּ יָהּ" (halelu Yah), meaning "Praise Yahweh" or "Praise the Lord." It is a call to worship and an expression of adoration and reverence for God. In the context of Revelation, this exclamation is part of the heavenly chorus celebrating God's righteous judgment and the ultimate triumph of His kingdom. The use of "Hallelujah" here connects the New Testament with the Old Testament Psalms, where this phrase is frequently used to invite the congregation to praise God for His mighty works and faithfulness.

Her smoke rises forever and ever
This phrase refers to the eternal consequences of God's judgment on Babylon, symbolizing the complete and irreversible destruction of evil. The imagery of smoke rising "forever and ever" is reminiscent of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, where smoke was a visible sign of divine judgment (Genesis 19:28). The Greek word for "smoke" is "καπνός" (kapnos), which can denote the visible evidence of burning. The phrase "forever and ever" translates the Greek "εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων" (eis tous aionas ton aionon), emphasizing the eternal nature of God's judgment. This serves as a sobering reminder of the finality of God's justice and the ultimate victory of righteousness over wickedness. The imagery assures believers of the permanence of God's triumph and the eradication of all that opposes His will.

Verse 3. - And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up forever and ever; goeth up. The "smoke" is that of the burning of Babylon, mentioned in Revelation 18:9, 18. The final nature of this judgment is indicated by the closing words.
