The Greek word for "true" is "alēthinos," which conveys the idea of being genuine, real, and faithful. In the context of Revelation, this underscores the authenticity and reliability of God's actions. His judgments are not arbitrary or capricious but are rooted in His unchanging nature. The word "just" comes from the Greek "dikaios," meaning righteous or equitable. This highlights that God's judgments are fair and morally right, reflecting His holiness and justice. Historically, this assurance would have been comforting to early Christians facing persecution, affirming that God sees and will rightly address all wrongs.He has judged the great prostitute The "great prostitute" is a symbolic representation of Babylon, often interpreted as a metaphor for corrupt systems and powers that oppose God. The Greek word "krinō" for "judged" implies a legal decision, indicating that God has rendered a verdict against this entity. This judgment is not just punitive but also purifying, as it removes the corrupting influence from the world. In the historical context of Revelation, this would have been seen as a promise of deliverance from oppressive regimes, offering hope to believers that God will ultimately triumph over evil.who corrupted the earth with her immorality The phrase "corrupted the earth" uses the Greek word "phtheirō," meaning to destroy or ruin. This suggests a profound moral and spiritual decay brought about by the "great prostitute." The term "immorality" is translated from "porneia," which encompasses a range of illicit sexual behaviors but also metaphorically refers to idolatry and unfaithfulness to God. This imagery would resonate with a first-century audience familiar with the pervasive influence of Roman culture and its moral excesses. It serves as a warning against compromising with worldly values and a call to remain faithful to God's standards.He has avenged the blood of His servants The word "avenged" comes from the Greek "ekdikeō," meaning to vindicate or exact justice. This reflects God's commitment to justice and His protective nature over His people. The "blood of His servants" refers to the martyrs who have suffered and died for their faith. In the scriptural context, this is a powerful reminder that God does not forget the sacrifices of His faithful ones. Historically, this would have been a source of encouragement to early Christians, assuring them that their suffering was not in vain and that God would ultimately bring justice on their behalf.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/revelation/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 2. - For true and righteous are his judgments.
