A Scene of Heaven

¹ Then I saw ^(C1)another sign in heaven, great and wonderful a warning of terrifying and horrible events: ^(C2)seven angels who had ^(C3)seven plagues (afflictions, calamities), which are ^(C4)the last, because with them the wrath of God is finished that is, it is completely expressed and reaches its zenith. ^(VR1)

² Then I saw something like a ^(C1)sea or large expanse of glass mixed with fire, and those who ^(C2)were victorious over the ^(C3)beast and over ^(C4)his image and over the ^(C5)number corresponding to his name were standing on the ^(C1)sea or large expanse of glass, holding ^(C6)harps of God worshiping Him. ^(VR1)

³ And they ^(F1)sang the ^(C1)song of Moses, ^(C2)the bond-servant of God, and the ^(C3)song of the Lamb, saying, "^(C4)Great and wonderful and awe-inspiring are Your works in judgment,

^(C5)O Lord God, the Almighty the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all;
Righteous and true are Your ways,
O ^(C6)King of the ^(F2)nations! ^(VR1)

⁴ "^(C1)Who will not fear reverently and glorify Your name, O Lord giving You honor and praise in worship?
For You alone are holy;
For ^(C2)ALL THE NATIONS SHALL COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE YOU,
FOR YOUR ^(C3)RIGHTEOUS ACTS Your just decrees and judgments HAVE BEEN REVEALED and DISPLAYED." ^(VR1)

⁵ After these things I looked, and ^(C1)the temple (sanctuary) of the ^(C2)tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened,⁶ and the ^(C1)seven angels who had the seven plagues (afflictions, calamities) ^(C2)came out of the temple, arrayed in linen, pure and gleaming, and ^(C3)wrapped around their chests were golden sashes.⁷ Then one of the ^(C1)four living creatures gave to the ^(C2)seven angels seven ^(C3)golden bowls full of the ^(C4)wrath and indignation of God, who ^(C5)lives forever and ever. ^(VR1)8 And the temple was filled with ^(F1)(C1)smoke from the glory and radiance and splendor of God and from His power; and no one was able to enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished. ^(VR1)
