"True and righteous are His judgments"

Text: Revelation 19:2

A GREAT MULTITUDE IN HEAVEN

The response of the world, its kings and merchants were one of sorrow at the
demise of Babylon. The response of all who were in heaven was a sharp contrast!

“After these things I heard a loud voice
of a great multitude in heaven, saying,
‘Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honour and power
belong to the Lord our God!
For true and righteous are His judgments,
because He has judged the great harlot
who corrupted the earth with her fornication;
and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.'”
