Preparation for the Bowl Judgments
1 Then I saw another great and awe-inspiring sign U in heaven: j seven angels with the seven last plagues; for with them God’s wrath will be completed. k 2 I also saw something like a sea of glass l mixed with fire, and those who had won the victory over the beast, its image, V and the number of its name, were standing on the sea of glass with harps from God. m 3 They sang the song of God’s servant Moses n and the song of the Lamb:
Great and awe-inspiring are your works,
Lord God, the Almighty;
just and true o are your ways,
and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy. q
All the nations will come
and worship before you r
because your righteous acts
have been revealed.
5 After this I looked, and the heavenly temple—the tabernacle of testimony s—was opened. t 6 Out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, dressed in pure, bright linen, with golden sashes wrapped around their chests. 7 One of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God who lives forever and ever. u 8 Then the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, v and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
