Heaven Exults over Babylon

1 After these things aI heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! bSalvation and glory and honor and power belong to2 the Lord our God!  
2 For atrue and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He bhas avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”  
3 Again they said, “Alleluia! aHer smoke rises up forever and ever!”  
4 And athe twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, b“Amen! Alleluia!”  
5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, a“Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, bboth small and great!”  
6 aAnd I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For bthe Lord God Omnipotent reigns!

Revelation 19:2

which did corrupt the earth—Greek, "used to corrupt" continually. "Instead of opposing and lessening, she promoted the sinful life and decay of the world by her own earthliness, allowing the salt to lose its savor" [AUBERLEN].

avenged—Greek, "exacted in retribution." A particular application of the principle (Genesis 9:5).

blood of his servants—literally shed by the Old Testament adulterous Church, and by the New Testament apostate Church; also virtually, though not literally, by all who, though called Christians, hate their brother, or love not the brethren of Christ, but shrink from the reproach of the cross, and show unkindness towards those who bear it.
