最後的七災

15 我看見天上有另一個景象,又大又奇。有七位天使掌管著末後的七災,因為 神的烈怒在這七災中發盡了。

我又看見好像有一個攙雜著火的玻璃海;也看見那些勝過了獸、獸像,以及獸名的數字的人。他們都站在玻璃海上,拿著 神的琴。 他們唱著 神僕人摩西的歌和羊羔的歌,說:

“主啊!全能的 神,

你的作為又偉大又奇妙!

萬國的王啊,

你的道路又公義又真實!

主啊!誰敢不敬畏你,

不榮耀你的名呢?

因為只有你是神聖的,

萬國都要來,

在你面前下拜,

因為你公義的作為已經顯明出來了。”

這些事以後,我觀看,見天上安放約櫃(“約櫃”原文作“見證的櫃”)的帳幕的聖所開了。 那掌管著末後七災的七位天使,從聖所出來,穿著清潔明亮的細麻衣,胸間束著金帶。 四個活物中有一個,把盛滿了活到永永遠遠之 神的烈怒的七個金碗,交給了那七位天使。 因著 神的榮耀和大能,聖所中充滿了煙,在那七位天使降完七災以前,沒有人能進入聖所。

Seven Angels With Seven Plagues

15 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign:(A) seven angels(B) with the seven last plagues(C)—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. And I saw what looked like a sea of glass(D) glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious(E) over the beast(F) and its image(G) and over the number of its name.(H) They held harps(I) given them by God and sang the song of God’s servant(J) Moses(K) and of the Lamb:(L)

“Great and marvelous are your deeds,(M)
    Lord God Almighty.(N)
Just and true are your ways,(O)
    King of the nations.[a]
Who will not fear you, Lord,(P)
    and bring glory to your name?(Q)
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
    and worship before you,(R)
for your righteous acts(S) have been revealed.”[b]

After this I looked, and I saw in heaven the temple(T)—that is, the tabernacle of the covenant law(U)—and it was opened.(V) Out of the temple(W) came the seven angels with the seven plagues.(X) They were dressed in clean, shining linen(Y) and wore golden sashes around their chests.(Z) Then one of the four living creatures(AA) gave to the seven angels(AB) seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever.(AC) And the temple was filled with smoke(AD) from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple(AE) until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

Prelude to the Bowl Judgments

15 Then (A)I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: (B)seven angels having the seven last plagues, (C)for in them the wrath of God is complete.

And I saw something like (D)a sea of glass (E)mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, (F)over his image and [a]over his mark and over the (G)number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, (H)having harps of God. They sing (I)the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the (J)Lamb, saying:

(K)“Great and marvelous are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
(L)Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the [b]saints!
(M)Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are (N)holy.
For (O)all nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your judgments have been manifested.”

After these things I looked, and [c]behold, (P)the [d]temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. And out of the [e]temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, (Q)clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands. (R)Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God (S)who lives forever and ever. (T)The temple was filled with smoke (U)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.
