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.

John Wesley's Notes

Revelation 15:3

And they sing the song of Moses - So called, partly from its near agreement ,with the words of that song which he sung after passing the Red Sea, Exodus 15:11, and of that which he taught the children of Israel a little before his death, Deuteronomy 32:3-4. But chiefly because Moses was the minister and representative of the Jewish church, as Christ is of the church universal. Therefore it is also termed the sons of the Lamb. It consists of six parts, which answer each other: Great and wonderful are thy works, Lord God Almighty. For thou only art gracious. Just and true are thy ways, O King of the nations. For all the nations shall come and worship before thee. Who would not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thy judgments are made manifest. We know and acknowledge that all thy works in and toward all the creatures are great and wonderful; that thy ways with all the children of men, good and evil, are just and true. For thou only art gracious - And this grace is the spring of all those wonderful works, even of his destroying the enemies of his people. Accordingly in Psa. 136:1-26., that clause, "For his mercy endureth for ever," is subjoined to the thanksgiving for his works of vengeance as well as for his delivering the righteous. For all the nations shall come and worship before thee - They shall serve thee as their king with joyful reverence. This is a glorious testimony of the future conversion of all the heathens. The Christians are now a little flock: they who do not worship God, an immense multitude. But all the nations shall come, from all parts of the earth, to worship him and glorify his name. For thy judgments are made manifest - And then the inhabitants of the earth will at length learn to fear him.
