15 I saw another great and marvelous sign in the sky: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them God’s wrath is finished. I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, his image,[a] and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,

“Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty!
    Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.
Who wouldn’t fear you, Lord,
    and glorify your name?
For you only are holy.
    For all the nations will come and worship before you.
    For your righteous acts have been revealed.”

After these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. The seven angels who had the seven plagues came out, clothed with pure, bright linen, and wearing golden sashes around their breasts.

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. No one was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished.

  1. 15:2 TR adds “his mark,”

15 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having seven plagues, which are the last, for in them is finished the wrath of God.

And I saw as it were a [a]sea of glass mingled with fire; and them that come off victorious from the beast, and from his image, and from the number of his name, standing [b]by the [c]sea of glass, having harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the [d]servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,

Great and marvellous are thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty; righteous and true are thy ways, thou King of the [e]ages. Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy; for all the nations shall come and [f]worship before thee; for thy righteous acts have been made manifest.

And after these things I saw, and the [g]temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: and there came out from the [h]temple the seven angels that had the seven plagues, arrayed [i]with precious stone, pure and bright, and girt about their breasts with golden girdles. And one of the four living creatures gave unto the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who liveth [j]for ever and ever. And the [k]temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and none was able to enter into the [l]temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels should be finished.
