Apringius of Beja, on Rev 19:1

Apringius of Beja · c. A.D. 600
Rev 19:1 · Douay-Rheims
“After these things I heard as it were the voice of much people in heaven, saying: Alleluia. Salvation, and glory, and power is to our God.”
On this verse:
“The saints exult over the destruction of the traitorous city, and they praise God with the jubilation of praise. What does this describe other than the coming of the retribution of the evildoers and the rewarding of the good? This is that of which Daniel spoke, "Some will rise to everlasting life, and some to everlasting reproach," so that they might see [this] forever. For this reason it is said, "The smoke from her goes up forever and ever."”
