In Rome was found the blood of all the saints who had been killed upon the earth. In submitting to the same attitudes of hate that brought about Abel's death, they agree with Cain's actions. Therefore the Jews are guilty of all the blood of all the prophets that has ever been shed since the beginning of time. Therefore, Rome is guilty of all the blood of the prophets and the saints that have ever been martyred. Her actions and attitudes consent to the same behavior.
Victory celebrations are always euphoric.
As we read Revelation the smell of victory is in the air, but it is one thing to smell victory and quite another to sing the songs of victory after the victory is won. Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries. He has avenged on her the blood of his servants. The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.
