Study Note
'Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her' — heaven is commanded to celebrate Babylon's fall as the vindication of those she martyred. The call for heaven to rejoice over judgment is jarring to modern ears but stands in the tradition of Deuteronomy 32:43, Isaiah 44:23, and Psalm 96:11-12, where creation rejoices at divine justice. The verse reflects the apocalyptic insistence that history's injustices are not forgotten — the blood of prophets and saints (18:24) generates a claim that the sovereign God will ultimately honor.
