Chapter 15

Seven Angels with the Seven Last Plagues

John sees seven angels holding the seven last plagues that complete God's wrath, and a sea of glass mingled with fire where those who overcame the beast stand with harps of God, singing the song of Moses and the Lamb. The song praises God's greatness, justice, and holiness, declaring all nations shall come worship before Him. The temple then opens in heaven, and the seven angels emerge clothed in pure white linen with golden girdles, receiving seven golden vials full of God's wrath. The temple fills with smoke from God's glory and power such that no man can enter it until the seven plagues are fulfilled.

Last plagues announcedSea of glass and victorySong of Moses and LambTemple filled with gloryJudgment about to be poured

1And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

2And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

3And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

4Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

5And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

6And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

7And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.

8And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
