1 Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished
2 And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. 3 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
(And it is be to noted that this song unites the whole of the Old and the New Testaments – Law and Grace, Moses and Jesus – into the beautiful unity which they are in displaying God’s Greatness!)
“Great and amazing are your deeds,
O Lord God the Almighty!
Just and true are your ways,
O King of the nations!
4 Who will not fear, O Lord,
and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come and worship you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”
5 After this I looked, and the sanctuary of the tent of witness in heaven was opened, 6 and out of the sanctuary came the seven angels with the seven plagues, clothed in pure, bright linen, with golden sashes around their chests. 7 And 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, 8 and the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished. –Comment: My comment on this is that, while I am dismayed but understanding the wrath of God at the way we as humans have treated Him, I am happy to remember the start of this chapter! ‘Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished‘. And I strongly suspect that the song of Moses and the Lamb will be a favourite and often sung during Eternity!
727 times in the the KJV translation of the Scriptures we find ‘And it came to pass’!
Prayer: Thank You, Lord, that all that is coming, You know about and are truly in Control!
