Revelation 15
John Sees Heaven's Wrath
Open in the reader →1And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having seven last plagues, because in them the wrath of God was finished.
2And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who were victorious over the beast and over its image and over the number of its name, standing on the sea of glass, holding harps of God.
3And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty; righteous and true are your ways, O King of the ages.”
4Who will not fear, Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. For all the nations will come and worship before you, because your righteous acts have been revealed.
5And after these things I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened,
6And the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out from the sanctuary, clothed in clean, bright linen, and wrapped around the chest with golden sashes.
7And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.
8And the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one was able to enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.
