As the great multitude in Heaven worship, they say “Hallelujah!” Hallelujah means “Praise Yahweh” and was often used to express jubilant joy. Jubilant joy is the tone of this passage. There is jubilant joy at the salvation of Jesus. There is jubilant joy at the reign of Jesus. And there is jubilant joy at the invitation of Jesus. All three of these, salvation, reign, and invitation exist because Jesus has been victorious over the dragon, his beast, and the kingdom they founded. This victory has brought jubilant joy to the redeemed. The certainty of Jesus' victory should fill us with jubilant joy.
