Exegesis
The initial clause centers on the aorist verb eblasphemesan {ἐβλασφήμησαν | eblasphḗmēsan} “they blasphemed,” whose object is the marked phrase ton theon tou ouranou {τὸν θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ | tón theón tou ouranoû} “the God of heaven,” a title underscoring divine sovereignty over the cosmic realm.
In context — Revelation 16:11
And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and because of their sores, and they did not repent from their deeds.
