Exegesis
The prepositional phrase achri tou ouranou {ἄχρι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ | ákh-ri toû ou-ra-noû} functions adverbially, marking the extent of this adhesion “as far as heaven.” The genitive with achri underscores vertical reach and evokes the heavenly sphere as the realm of God’s oversight.
In context — Revelation 18:5
For her sins have clung as far as heaven, and God has remembered her injustices.
