15 Then I saw another very wonderful thing in the sky. [ a ] I saw seven angels with seven terrible troubles to hurt people. They are the final troubles. When they have finished, God will stop being angry.
2 Then I saw what seemed to be a glass sea. Fire was mixed in it. I also saw people who were standing at the edge of the glass sea. Those people had fought against the wild animal and they had won. They had won against its image and the number that means its name. They had fought and they had won. God had given them harps. They held the harps to make music. 3 Now they sang the song of God's servant, Moses, and the Lamb's song. [ b ] They sang this:
‘Lord God with all power,
what you do is great and wonderful!
Everything that you do is completely fair and honest.
You are King of all nations of the world.
4 Everyone will respect and obey you, Lord.
They will say how great your name is,
because only you are completely good.
People from every nation have seen what you do.
You always do what is right.
So all people will come and stand in front of you,
and they will worship you.’
5 After this I looked again. I saw that God's house in heaven was open. That house is like God's tent, where he lived among his people in the wilderness. [ c ] 6 The seven angels with the seven terrible troubles then came out of God's house. They were wearing clean, bright clothes that were made from linen. They had gold belts around the top part of their bodies. 7 Then one of the four beings that were alive gave seven gold bowls to the seven angels. God had poured his anger into the bowls. He is the God who is alive for ever. 8 Then God's house in heaven became full of smoke, which showed God's great glory and his power. As a result, nobody could go into God's house until the angels had finished sending the seven terrible troubles.
15 Then I saw another wonder in heaven. It was great and amazing. There were seven angels bringing seven plagues. These are the last plagues, because after these, God’s anger is finished.
2 I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire. All those who had won the victory over the beast and his idol and over the number of its name were standing by the sea. These people had harps that God had given them. 3 They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb:
“Great and wonderful are the things you do,
Lord God All-Powerful.
Right and true are your ways,
Ruler of the nations.
4 All people will fear you, O Lord.
All people will praise your name.
Only you are holy.
All people will come and worship before you,
because it is clear that you do what is right.”
5 After this I saw the temple, the holy place of God’s presence, [ a ] in heaven. It was opened, 6 and the seven angels bringing the seven plagues came out. They were dressed in clean, shining linen cloth. They wore golden bands tied around their chests. 7 Then one of the four living beings gave seven golden bowls to the seven angels. The bowls were filled with the anger of God, who lives forever and ever. 8 The temple was filled with smoke from the glory and the power of God. No one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.
15 And 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.
2 And 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.
3 And 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.
4 Who 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.
5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
6 And 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.
7 And 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.
8 And 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.
15 Then I saw ( A ) another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, ( B ) seven angels who had ( C ) seven plagues, which are ( D ) the last, because in them the wrath of God is finished.
2 And I saw something like a ( E ) sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who ( F ) were victorious [ a ] over the ( G ) beast and ( H ) his image and the ( I ) number of his name, standing on the ( J ) sea of glass, holding ( K ) harps of God. 3 And they *sang the ( L ) song of Moses, ( M ) the bond-servant of God, and the ( N ) song of the Lamb, saying,
“ ( O ) Great and marvelous are Your works,
( P ) Lord God, the Almighty;
Righteous and true are Your ways,
( Q ) King of the [ b ] nations!
4 ( R ) Who will not fear You, Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are holy;
For ( S ) all the nations will come and worship before You ,
For Your [ c ] ( T ) righteous acts have been revealed.”
5 After these things I looked, and ( U ) the [ d ] temple of the ( V ) tabernacle of testimony in heaven was opened, 6 and the ( W ) seven angels who had the seven plagues ( X ) came out of the [ e ] temple, clothed in [ f ] linen, clean and bright, and ( Y ) their chests wrapped with golden sashes. 7 And one of the ( Z ) four living creatures gave the ( AA ) seven angels seven ( AB ) golden bowls full of the ( AC ) wrath of God, who ( AD ) lives forever and ever. 8 And the [ g ] temple was filled with ( AE ) smoke from the glory of God and from His power; and no one was able to enter the [ h ] temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.
15 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: ( A ) seven angels ( B ) with the seven last plagues ( C ) —last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. 2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass ( D ) glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious ( E ) over the beast ( F ) and its image ( G ) and over the number of its name. ( H ) They held harps ( I ) given them by God 3 and sang the song of God’s servant ( J ) Moses ( K ) and of the Lamb: ( L )
“Great and marvelous are your deeds, ( M )
Lord God Almighty. ( N )
Just and true are your ways, ( O )
King of the nations. [ a ]
4 Who will not fear you, Lord, ( P )
and bring glory to your name? ( Q )
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you, ( R )
for your righteous acts ( S ) have been revealed.” [ b ]
5 After this I looked, and I saw in heaven the temple ( T ) —that is, the tabernacle of the covenant law ( U ) —and it was opened. ( V ) 6 Out of the temple ( W ) came the seven angels with the seven plagues. ( X ) They were dressed in clean, shining linen ( Y ) and wore golden sashes around their chests. ( Z ) 7 Then one of the four living creatures ( AA ) gave to the seven angels ( AB ) seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever. ( AC ) 8 And the temple was filled with smoke ( AD ) from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple ( AE ) until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
