Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. v1
We begin a new scene of Gods Final Judgment and the victory over Satan! Notice the number 7 again, which symbolizes completion. 7 Angels/Messengers + 7 plagues = wrath of God is finished
And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. v2
The “Sea of Glass” John mentions here is a mystery, in his imagery we can guess that because it’s a sea, it’s a very large area, therefor I would assume there are a large group of Christians standing here. The Fire I would be symbolic of the Holy Spirit that is empowering all of us Christians. Praising God by playing music and worshipping to the Lord in Victory!
Victory in Jesus!
They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints! Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, For Your judgments have been manifested.” v3-4
The “Song of Moses” is the same song sang when the Israelites were freed in the Exodus and God parted the Red Sea for them. The parallels between the Exodus and Revelation are amazing. God sent the plaques to Egypt while God sent the Tribulation here. Moses freed the Israelites from slavery while Jesus has freed us from the slavery of sin and death. Egypt has the evil leader Pharaoh, while Revelation Satan has the Anti Christ
Regardless this is a time of celebration right now, as final Judgement is coming upon Satan and eternal victory through Christ and his followers!
Song of Mose + Song of the Lamb
Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and said, “I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; The horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea. Exodus 15:1
After these things I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. And out of the temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands. v5-6
The Temple of the Tabernacle of Testimony, we can assume this is the Ark of the Covenant (The Ten Commandments) meaning Justice has been served! No longer will evil remain on this Earth, its being purged along with Satan and his followers
Notice the 7 Angels have golden sashes around their chests. This is symbolic for authority given to them. They have been granted authority by God to carry out final judgement of the Earth and Satan
7 Angles + 7 Plagues = Judgment of God
who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, “SEE,” He says, “THAT YOU MAKE all things ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN WHICH WAS SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN.” Hebrews 8:5
Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever. The temple was filled with smoke from 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. v7-8
The Bowls of Gods wrath are about to be unleashed on the Earth. Notice the Temple was filled with smoke, the smoke symbolizing Gods presence. Nobody was able to enter the Temple until it was finished! This is the final judgement , no second chances, time is up!
1 of the 4 Living Creatures + 7 Angels + 7 bowls of Gods Wrath
and within it was the form of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: Ezekiel 1:5
Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. John 19:30
