For true and righteous are his judgments, etc.] As in (see Gill on “<661503>Revelation 15:3”), (see Gill on “<661607>Revelation 16:7”): this is to be understood of God's judgments in general, and is a reason of the attribution of praise and glory to him; which may be said to be true, because, being threatened, are now fulfilled; and to be “righteous”, because according to the demerit of sin; and particularly God's judgments on antichrist are intended: for he hath judged the great whore; Jezebel, Babylon, the Romish antichrist, before spoken of, (<661701>Revelation 17:1) not only by passing a sentence of condemnation on her, but by executing it, putting it into the hearts of the kings to hate and burn her, and utterly destroy her; and which is judging right, since it follows: which did corrupt the earth with her fornication; drew the kings and inhabitants of the Roman empire into wicked and idolatrous practices, and so corrupted and destroyed them in soul, body, and estate; (see Gill on “<661118>Revelation 11:18”) for this vision is contemporary with the seventh trumpet: and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand; shed by her, (<661820>Revelation 18:20,24 16:6) and this being done in righteous judgment, is matter of joy and praise to the saints.
