Revelation 15:1

Prelude to the Bowl Judgments

1 Then ^aI saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: ^bseven angels having the seven last plagues, ^cfor in them the wrath of God is complete.

2 And I saw something like ^aa sea of glass ^bmingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, ^cover his image and over his mark and over the ^dnumber of his name, standing on the sea of glass, ^ehaving harps of God.

3 They sing ^athe song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the ^bLamb, saying:
^c“Great and marvelous are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
^dJust and true are Your ways,
O King of the¹ saints!

4 ^aWho shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are ^bholy.
For ^call nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your judgments have been manifested.”

5 After these things I looked, and¹ behold, ^athe temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.

6 And out of the¹ temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, ^aclothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands.

7 ^aThen one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God ^bwho lives forever and ever.

8 ^aThe temple was filled with smoke ^bfrom the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
