Old Testament

Revelation 15
The Angels With the Seven Last Plagues
151Then I saw another great and remarkable sign in heaven: seven angels with seven plagues—the last plagues, because in them God's wrath is completed.
2And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire. I also saw those who had won the victory over the beast and his image[] and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass. They held the harps of God, 3and they were singing the song of Moses, God's servant, and the song of the Lamb. They said:
Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways, King of the Nations.[]
4Who will not fear you,[] Lord,
and who will not praise your name?
You alone are holy!
All the nations will come and will bow down before you,
because your righteous verdicts have been revealed.
5After these things I looked, and the sanctuary of the Tent of the Testimony was opened in heaven. 6The seven angels who hold the seven plagues came out of the sanctuary. They were clothed with clean bright linen, and they wore gold sashes around their chests.
7One of the four living creatures gave the seven angels the seven gold bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. 8And the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power. No one was able to enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
