20 Rejoice (celebrate) over her, O heaven! O saints (people of God) and apostles and prophets, because God has executed vengeance for you upon her!
- When have we ever been told in the scriptures to rejoice over a person being hurt or punished?
- But over evil, that is something entirely different. We absolutely rejoice when evil is cleansed away from us.
- The evil of trusting in the world will end, it will never come back and those who trusted in the world will be set free.
22 And the sound of harpists and minstrels and flute players and trumpeters shall never again be heard in you, and no skilled artisan of any craft shall ever again be found in you, and the sound of the millstone shall never again be heard in you.
- These joyful things will not end. Music will continue in eternity. Prosperity will abound in eternity, these things just won’t abound in the worldliness of the Great Whore, because she will be no more.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all those who have been slain (slaughtered) on earth.
