Revelation 15:5-8The seven golden vials

About Revelation 15John sees "seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God." Those who "had gotten the victory over the beast" stand on "a sea of glass mingled with fire" and "sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints." The temple in heaven is opened, the seven angels receive "seven golden vials full of the wrath of God," and "no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled." Revelation 15:1Revelation 15:2Revelation 15:3Revelation 15:5Revelation 15:7Revelation 15:8
