<p>19:3 <i>And a second time they said: Hallelujah And her smoke goes up for ever and ever</i>- The impression is of a sacrifice being offered, although the allusion is to the rising smoke of Sodom. Even in the destruction of the wicked, God is glorified. His judgments are a way of glorifying the principles of His Name, and not the lashing out of an offended Deity. The &quot;great crowd&quot; are as it were watching this, and thus are to be connected with faithful Abraham watching the smoke of Sodom arising.</p>
