After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, "Hallelujah! Salvation and [GLORY] and power belong to our God,"
(Revelation 19:1)
“GLORY”:
Refers to the resplendence of God’s character. The Hebrew term means “heavy,” so, in this respect, glory refers to the heaviness or weightiness of God as God. Here we ponder the three persons of the living God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We think of the wonder of their distinctions in person and function, and yet, the absolute reality of the divine oneness as not three gods, but One God. We consider the character of our God: that He is holy and just; that He is faithful and true; that He is merciful and kind; that He is jealous and wrathful. No contradictions exist in Him. All that He is, He is with infinite perfection.
(Phil A. Newton)
