Preparation for the Bowl Judgments

¹ Then I saw another great and awe-inspiring sign^(F1) in heaven:^(C1) seven angels with the seven last plagues; for with them God’s wrath will be completed.^{(C2) 2} I also saw something like a sea of glass^(C1) mixed with fire, and those who had won the victory over the beast, its image,^(F1) and the number of its name, were standing on the sea of glass with harps from God.^{(C2) 3} They sang the song of God’s servant Moses^(C1) and the song of the Lamb:

⁵ After this I looked, and the heavenly temple—the tabernacle of testimony^(C1)—was opened.^{(C2) 6} Out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, dressed in pure, bright linen, with golden sashes wrapped around their chests. ⁷ One of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God who lives forever and ever.^{(C1) 8} Then the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power,^(C1) and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
