Rejoicing In Heaven

1 After these things I heard what sounded like the loud voices of a huge crowd in heaven, shouting, "Hallelujah [which means, "Praise God"]! Salvation and splendor and power belong to our God. 2 For His judgments are true and just; He has judged [i.e., condemned] the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and He has punished her for [shedding] the blood of His servants." 3 And again they shouted, "Hallelujah! The smoke from her [burning. See 18:18] ascends forever and ever."
