For years we have heard that HALLELUJAH is the highest praise. After coming through the bible, I was unable to find evidence as this being truth. I found the word 'alleluia' only referenced in the bible four times. And they were all in Revelations.
Rev 19: 1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Rev 19: 3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
Rev 19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
Rev 19: 6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
It comes from the greek word halal which means to praise or glorify.
BUT, in Nehemiah it says Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
The glorious name is Jesus. If Jesus is the glorious name that is to be exalted about all other blessings and praise, this means JESUS is the highest praise.
