In Revelation 18:21-20:6, we witness a vivid portrayal of the ultimate triumph of God over evil, culminating in the joyous proclamation of salvation and the establishment of His eternal kingdom. The heavenly hosts rejoice, as described in Luke 15:10, where it is declared that there is joy in the presence of the angels over one sinner who repents.
