Revelation 15
Expanded Bible
The Last Troubles
15 Then I saw another ·wonder [sign; miracle; portent] in heaven that was great and amazing. There were seven angels bringing seven ·disasters [plagues]. These are the last ·disasters [plagues], because ·after [or in] them, God’s ·anger [wrath] is ·finished [completed; ended].
2 I saw what looked like a sea of glass [1 Kin. 7:23–26; Ezek. 1:22] mixed with fire [19:20; 20:10]. All of those who had ·won the victory over [conquered] the beast and his ·idol [image] and over the number of his name [13:17] were standing by the sea of glass. They had harps ·that God had given them [L of/from God]. 3 They sang the song of Moses [Ex. 15:1; Deut. 31:30], the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb:
“·You do great and wonderful things [L Great and marvelous/amazing are your works; Ps. 111:2],
Lord God ·Almighty [All-powerful].
·Everything the Lord does is [L Your ways are] ·right [just] and true [Ps. 145:17],
King of the nations.[a]
4 ·Everyone will respect you [L Who will not fear you…?], Lord [Jer. 10:7],
and ·will honor you [L honor/glorify your name].
[L Because; For] Only you are holy.
All the nations will come
and worship [L before] you [Ps. 86:9–10],
because the right things you have done
are now made known [Deut. 32:4].”
5 After ·this [L these things] I saw that the temple (the ·Tent [Tabernacle] of the ·Agreement [Testimony; Covenant Law]) in heaven was opened. 6 And the seven angels bringing the seven ·disasters [plagues] came out of the temple. They were dressed in ·clean [pure], ·shining [bright] linen and wore golden ·bands [sashes] tied around their chests [C garments worn by priests]. 7 Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the ·anger [wrath] of God, who lives forever and ever. 8 The temple was filled with smoke [C smoke often symbolizes the presence of God; Ex. 40:34–38] from the glory and the power of God, and no one could enter the temple until the seven ·disasters [plagues] of the seven angels were ·finished [completed; ended; C accomplished their purpose].

2 And kai I saw what appeared to be hōs a sea thalassa of glass hyalinos mixed mignymi with fire pyr, and kai those ho who had conquered nikaō the ho beast thērion and kai · ho his autos image eikōn and kai the ho number arithmos of ho his autos name onoma. They were standing histēmi beside epi the ho sea thalassa of ho glass hyalinos with echō harps kithara given them by ho God theos. 3 And kai they sing adō the ho song ōdē of Moses Mōysēs the ho servant of ho God theos and kai the ho song ōdē of the ho Lamb arnion, saying legō, “ Great megas and kai marvelous thaumastos are · ho your sy deeds ergon, O Lord kyrios · ho God theos · ho Almighty pantokratōr! Just dikaios and kai true alēthinos are · ho your sy ways hodos, O ho King basileus of the ho nations ethnos! 4 Who tis will not ou mē fear phobeomai you, O Lord kyrios, and kai glorify doxazō · ho your sy name onoma?
