Judgment with a Purpose
Commentators explain that God's judgment on Babylon was not an isolated act of wrath but was directly connected to the salvation of His people. John Calvin notes that the purpose of destroying Babylon was to provide for the safety and deliverance of the exiled Israelites. This shows that God's powerful acts in history are often aimed at the redemption and restoration of His Church.
