Revelation Chapter 15
Rev. 15:1And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of Elohim.
The Third Great Sign From Heaven
This will be the third of three great signs in heaven:
1.) the sun clothed woman Israel (Revelation 12:1)
2.) the great red dragon Satan (Revelation 12:3)
3.) seven angels with seven last plagues. (Revelation 15:1)
This sign will be great and marvelous because of its terrible nature and amazing result. It will bring on the full wrath of Elohim which will cause the fall of Satan and his devilish crew.
Rev. 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of Elohim.
The Second Glassy Sea
This will be the second glassy sea to appear in heaven. The first glassy sea will be clear as crystal. This one will be mixed with fire. The sea symbolizes the masses of humanity, and the fire represents judgment
The Tribulation Saints will come up out of the sea of humanity. They will have been in a fiery persecution. they are those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over the number of his name. They will not be deceived by the Antichrist or his False Prophet. They will be tracked down and ordered to take the Mark of the Beast but will refuse. For their refusal they will face retaliation in the form of torture and death. Victory, however, will still be theirs because they will lose their earthly life but will gain an eternal one.
When they reach heaven Elohim will give them harps. Their earthly trials will have caused a lot of crying, but when they get to heaven they will sing and play.
Rev. 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of Elohim, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Yahuah El Shaddai; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
The Song Of The Lamb
The Tribulation Saints will sing two songs;
1.) the song of Moses
2.) the song of the Lamb.
The song of Moses is found in the Old Testament. It celebrates the victory Elohim gave Israel when he brought her out of Egypt. Pharaoh's army chased after the Hebrews to recapture them, but his troops were drowned in the Red Sea.
The song of the Lamb is found in this verse. It celebrates God's reign and victory over all the nations. The deeds of Yahusha are great and marvelous because he died for the sins of the world and will defeat Satan. The ways of Yahusha are just and true. He is never unjust, never untruthful. His judgments are righteous. His words are accurate and reliable. Yahusha is the King of the ages. He is the eternal King. The one who has reigned, is reigning, and always will reign.
Rev. 15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
Fear And Glory
Today, few people speak of having a reverential fear of the Lord or of giving glory to him. We seem to think there is somethings wrong with these. However, these are of the utmost importance now and in heaven for three reasons:
1.) Yahusha should be feared and glorified because he alone is holy. He is the only one to live by all of Elohim's standards, the only one worthy of our worship, the only one who never sinned. He has been hallowed or set apart for Elohim's special purpose: an atonement for our sin.
2.) Elohim should be feared and glorified because he will be worshipped by all nations. The day will come when he will deal with the godless leaders of this world. He will do away with them, and every nation will worship him.
3.) Yahusha should be feared and glorified because his righteous acts will be revealed. The terrible judgments of the Tribulation Period will be righteous acts of Yahusha. He will deal with those who did not accept his mercy.
Rev. 15:5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
Under The Law
The Temple in heaven will be opened. Then the Holy of Holies inside the Temple will be opened, followed by the Ark of the Covenant inside the Holy of Holies. The Ark of the Covenant contains the Ten Commandments, which are sometimes called the Law of the Testimony.
Those who reject the grace and mercy Elohim offers through the death, burial, and resurrection of his Son will be judged under the Law (the Ten Commandments). In rejecting what Elohim offers, they also reject Yahusha. Many, including the Jews, do not realize this most important point. By rejecting Yahusha, they reject Elohim, and have themselves open to be judged under the Law of Moses in the Old Testament.
Rev. 15:6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
Seven Angels With Seven Plagues
Seven angels will come out of the Temple. They will be dressed in clean, shining linen signifying their righteousness. They will wear golden sashes around their chests signifying their royal priesthood.
These seven angels will move away from the Temple and the mercy seat. they are royal and powerful priests preparing to pour out the wrath of Elohim. Those on earth will receive judgment without mercy. Because they have flouted Elohim, followed the Antichrist, took the Mark, worshiped his image, and rejected Yahusha, they will face the full fury of Elohim.
Rev. 15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of Elohim, who liveth for ever and ever.
The Seven Angels Of Elohim's Wrath
The four living creatures will hand the seven angels seven bowls filled with the wrath of Elohim. Some Bible translations call these bowls "vials," but that does not do justice to the meaning of this verse. When a bowl is upset the liquid is suddenly dumped out. That is the picture we have here. Elohim's wrath will be suddenly dumped out on the inhabitants of earth.
In the Old Testament, once a year on the Day of Atonement, the high priest would take a bowl of blood from a sacrificial animal into the Holy of Holies and dump it on the mercy seat over the ark of the covenant. Elohim had him do that to offer atonement for the sins of the people. Since the Antichrist and his followers will not accept the blood of Yahusha as an atonement for their sins, these priestly angels will be given bowls filled with Elohim's wrath instead of the blood of Elohim. And instead of dumping the bowls on the mercy seat, they will dump them on the earth.
Rev. 15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of Elohim, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
No More!!!
Things just keep getting worse for those who reject Elohim. When the priestly angels leave the Temple, it will be filled with smoke from the glory and power of Elohim. No one will be able to go back in or enter the Holy of Holies. No one can change their mind and pour blood on the mercy seat. There will be no more mercy, no more delays, and no more opportunities to repent until the seven plagues have passed.
This is a warning--> to those on earth who won't listen to the pleas of Elohim made through his messengers - the 144,000 Jews, the two witnesses, the angel, and others. At some point in the Tribulation Period, Elohim will say, "It's over. The destiny of those who keep rejecting my Son is sealed forever." He will pour out his wrath, keep people away from the mercy seat, and refuse to hear the pleads of those crying out for one more chance.
