The Angels with the Last Plagues
1 Then I saw in the sky another
mysterious sight, great and
amazing. There were seven angels
with seven plagues, which are the
last ones, because they are the final
expression of God's anger.
2 Then 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 its image and
over the one whose name is represented
by a number. They were
standing by the sea of glass, holding
harps that God had given them
3 and
singing the song of Moses, the servant
of God, and the song of the
Lamb:
“Lord God Almighty,
how great and wonderful are your deeds!
King of the nations, note
how right and true are your ways! note
4
Who will not stand in awe of you, Lord?
Who will refuse to declare your greatness?
You alone are holy.
All the nations will come
and worship you,
because your just actions are seen by all.” note
5 After this I saw the temple in
heaven open, with the Covenant
Tent in it. note
6 The seven angels who
had the seven plagues came out of
the temple, dressed in clean shining
linen and with gold bands tied
around their chests.
7 Then one of
-- --
the four living creatures gave the
seven angels seven gold bowls full of
the anger of God, who lives forever
and ever.
8 The temple was filled
with smoke from the glory and
power of God, and no one could go
into the temple until the seven
plagues brought by the seven angels
had come to an end. note
