We witness from the beginning saints have been caught in this cosmic struggle between God and Satan. Consequently, these national battles are more significant than a man's military strategy and the necessary weapons. Men like describing history on a man-centered level. But God's inspired prophets uniquely describe the comprehensive history of redemption. Man's peculiar glory is justly described in the extraordinary events that glorify God. God's Law demands death to lawbreakers who morally oppose God. No institution is autonomous. David teaches our spiritual sacrifices are a sweet-smelling aroma to God as an unshakeable conviction of just indignation until the curse has eliminated all destruction. The eternal curses are respectively the moral backbone of God's eternal decrees."

This is a national prayer of the high priest. When God promptly destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah He forcefully removed His oppressed people from the violent city. God opposes the most flagrant violations of His law by dividing their society. But His saints represent His divine name enjoy being in the victorious army never turning away from God to worship other gods. They faithfully represent beseeching God to amply secure the oppressed nation back to temple worship for the sake of all the suffering saints, bitterly cursing the wicked who forced them into political exile.

 The word "Rise up" is an invaluable addition properly employed in Revelation. It is a metaphor for the burnt offering when the smoke rose to heaven presented before the throne by the angels as a sweet-smelling aroma. This sacrifice is the saint's official prayers that rise to heaven. These old testament sacrifices and pious prayers are also expressed in a desperate collection of genuine tears from the suffering saints. God responds with the harsh judgements of heavenly curses upon godless nations. A nation becomes degenerate, and the saints begin crying out then God opens the seals.
