Revelation 15
15
The Last Troubles
1Then I saw another wonder in heaven. It was great and amazing. There were seven angels bringing seven troubles. These are the last troubles, because after these troubles God’s anger is finished.
2I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire. All of those who had won the victory over the beast and his idol and over the number of his name were standing by the sea. They had harps that God had given them. 3They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb:
“You do great and wonderful things, Psalm 111:2
Lord God, the God of heaven’s armies. Amos 3:13
Everything the Lord does is right and true, Psalm 145:17
King of the nations.# Some Greek copies read “King of the ages.”
4Everyone will respect you, Lord. Jeremiah 10:7
They will honor you.
Only you are holy.
All people will come
and worship you. Psalm 86:9-10
This is because he is a faithful God who does no wrong.
He is right and fair.” Deuteronomy 32:4
5After this I saw the temple (the Tent of the Agreement) in heaven. The temple was opened. 6And the seven angels bringing the seven troubles came out of the temple. They were dressed in clean, shining linen. They wore golden bands tied around their chests. 7Then one of the four living things gave seven golden bowls to the seven angels. The bowls were filled with the anger of God, who lives forever and ever. 8The temple was filled with smoke from the glory and the power of God. No one could enter the temple until the seven troubles of the seven angels were finished.

The Seven Angels with Seven Plagues
1Then #[ch. 12:1, 3] I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, #ch. 16:1; 17:1; 21:9seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished.
2And I saw #ch. 4:6; 21:18, 21 what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those #ch. 12:11 who had conquered the beast and its image and #ch. 13:17 the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass #ch. 5:8; 14:2with harps of God in their hands. 3And they sing #Ex. 15:1; Deut. 31:30 the song of Moses, #See Heb. 3:5 the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
#
Deut. 32:3, 4; [Job 37:5; Ps. 111:2; 139:14; 145:17] “Great and amazing are your deeds,

5After this I looked, and #ch. 11:19 the sanctuary of #Ex. 38:21; Num. 1:50; Acts 7:44the tent#15:5 Or tabernacle of witness in heaven was opened, 6and out of the sanctuary came #See ver. 1 the seven angels with the seven plagues, clothed in pure, bright #ch. 19:8 linen, #ch. 1:13with golden sashes around their chests. 7And one of #ch. 4:6 the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven #[ch. 5:8] golden bowls full of the wrath of God #ch. 1:18; 4:9; 5:13who lives forever and ever, 8and #Ex. 40:34; Isa. 6:4; Hag. 2:7; [1 Kgs. 8:10, 11; 2 Chr. 5:13, 14] the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and #Ex. 40:35; 1 Kgs. 8:11no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.
