Hisgalus 16:7 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 16:7

And I heard another out of the altar say
That is, another angel that came out of the altar; see ( Revelation 14:18 ) and who represents the souls under the altar, whose blood had been shed by the above persons; compare with this ( Revelation 6:9 ) though, there, such whose blood had been shed by Rome Pagan are described; the Ethiopic version calls this angel as before, "the angel of the fountains of water"; and the Alexandrian copy, and Syriac and Arabic versions, read, "I heard the altar saying": as follows,

even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments;
the same as in ( Revelation 15:3 ) ( 19:2 ) . This angel joins the other, and approves and confirms what he says; applauding the judgements of Christ upon the worshippers of the beast, from the verity of them, being what were threatened, and from the justice of them, being what they deserved.

Hisgalus 16:7 In-Context

5 And I heard the malach (angel) of the mayim (waters) saying, “Tzaddik are You, the One who is, the One who was, HaKadosh (the Holy One), because You have judged these things,
6 "Because they (those of Anti-Moshiach) shed the dahm of the Kadoshim and because the dahm of the Nevi’im they poured out, and You have given them dahm to drink! They are deserving of it!" [YESHAYAH 49:26]
7 And I heard the Mizbe’ach (altar) crying out, saying, "Ken, Hashem, Adonoi Tzva’ot, Emes and Tzedek are Your Mishpatim (Judgments)."
8 And harevi’i (the fourth [malach, angel]) poured out his ke’ara (bowl) onto the shemesh (sun), and it was given to the shemesh (sun) to scorch Bnei Adam with eish (fire).
9 And Bnei Adam were scorched with khom gadol (great heat), and they spoke Chillul Hashem gidufim (blasphemies) against ha-Shem of G-d?the One having the shilton (authority) over these makkot (plagues)?and they did not make teshuva so as to give Hashem kavod (glory).
