Bible Trivia - 7/29/2008

Question: What is the only New Testament book which contains the word of praise “Alleluia”?

Answer: Revelation. (Revelation 19:4)

Comments: Alleluia, or its variant Hallelujah, is an untranslated superlative expression of thanksgiving, joy, and triumph. It comes from the roots hallel meaning "to praise" and yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the proper name of God. It is used in the New Testament only in the Book of Revelation. (Revelation 19:1, 3, 4, 6)

And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne saying, "Amen Hallelujah!" (Revelation 19:4, NASB)
