Poole: Rev 19:2 - For true and righteous are his judgments // For he hath judged the great whore // which did corrupt the earth with her fornication // And hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand

For true and righteous are his judgments: the Lord’ s judgments, in holy writ, sometimes signify his precepts, sometimes his dispensations of providence, either more generally, or more specially; in which last sense it signifies (as here) his punishment of sinners: these are just and righteous, and therefore called judgments.

For he hath judged the great whore for he hath punished the papacy,

which did corrupt the earth with her fornication which corrupted a great part of the earth with its idolatry.

And hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand and by these judicial dispensations God hath also taken vengeance on them for the blood of his saints shed by them. It is remarkable, that all along this book idolatry and persecution are made the beast’ s provoking sins.

PBC: Rev 19:2 - He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

"He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth." {1Ch 16:15} There is no reason for Jerusalem forgetting the judgments of God. She has been chastened many times because of her obstinacy in doing. "For true and righteous are his judgments." Now Jerusalem, who has played the harlot, can only bow in shame until her hour is past.— Eld. Charles Taylor

Gill: Rev 19:2 - For true and righteous are his judgments // for he hath judged the great whore // which did corrupt the earth with her fornication // and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand

For true and righteous are his judgments,.... As in See Gill on Rev 15:3; see Gill on Rev 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, Rev 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 Rev 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, Rev 18:20 and this being done in righteous judgment, is matter of joy and praise to the saints.
