OD's anger is always perfectly holy. His anger is always justified. And His expressions of anger are also always pure & right – necessary even. So, when the 7 angels pour out the 7 bowls of God's wrath at the end of the Tribulation Period, every recipient of those plagues will deserve every pain to the fullest. And God will have already expended much mercy & grace in giving opportunities & options to those being judged. Even His justice is tempered by His patience & compassion (& is therefore better than fair – Ezra 9:13).
Here we are again at an important point in the unveiling of God's eternal plans, & wouldn't you know it, more music (vs. 2-4)! This singing & playing will accompany the revelation of God's full wrath against evil. What will such music sound like (as the sons of God go forth to war). Their song will indeed be a celebration of God's holy righteousness & mighty majesty. They will be singing a victory song before the battle even starts, knowing certainly that God will win.
Notice that this song (which the saints in heaven will be singing at the end of the Tribulation) will be called "the song of Moses the servant of God, & the song of the Lamb" (vs. 3). Our God of righteousness is triumphing over evil. That’s what Revelation 15 is about: God's conquest of evil. And God will be glorified on that day!
