Here we see at last how it all fits together in God’s Plan. God reveals here, how the prayers of all the saints have always been collected, often held for thousands of years, and now taken to finally work together with God’s power, to fulfill God's purposes.

Here the great promise that the vengeance that only rightfully belongs to the Lord, is finally poured out upon the sinners upon earth. Here starts the preview of Hell.

I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
