Revelation:15-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And I beheld another sign in heaven ,
great and marvelous ,
seven angels with the seven last plagues ;
because with them the wrath of God is finished .
*
And I saw the semblance of a glassy sea ,
mingled with fire ;
and standing by this glassy sea ,
with harps of God ,
were those who came off conquerors from the beast and from his image and from the cipher of his name .
*
They were singing the song of Moses ,
the slave of God ,
and the song of the Lamb ,
saying . "
Great and marvelous are thy works ,
O Lord God ,
the Almighty !
Righteous and true are thy ways ,
Thou King of kings !
*
Who shall not fear ,
O Lord ,
And glorify thy name ?
For thou only art holy .
For all the nations shall come and worship before thee ;
For thy righteous acts have been made evident ."
*
After that I looked ,
and the sanctuary of the tabernacle of testimony was opened in heaven ;
*
and there came out of the sanctuary the seven angels with the seven plagues .
They were clothed in white linen ,
pure and bright ,
and girt about the breasts with golden girdles .
*
And 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 sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory and majesty of God ;
and no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished .
*
Then I heard a loud voice which came out of the temple ,
saying to the seven angels , "
Go ,
empty the seven bowls of the wrath of God upon the earth ."
*
The first angel went and poured out his bowl upon the earth .
And it was turned to loathsome and painful sores upon all who bore the brand of the beast ,
and who worshiped his image .
*
And the second angel poured out his bowl upon the sea ;
and it became blood ,
like the blood of a corpse ,
and every living creature died -
everything in the sea .
*
And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of waters ;
and they were turned into blood .
*
And I heard the angel of the waters saying . "
Righteous art thou ,
thou who art and wast ,
The Holy One ,
Because thou didst inflict this judgment .
*
For men poured out the blood of thy saints and prophets ,
And thou hast given them blood to drink .
And this they deserved ."
*
And I heard the altar saying , "
Yea ,
O Lord ,
the Almighty ,
True and righteous are thy judgments ."
*
And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun ,
and the sun was permitted to scorch men with fire .
*
And men were scorched with the terrible heat ;
and they blasphemed the name of the God who had the power over these plagues ;
yet they repented not ,
to give him glory .
*
And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast ;
and his kingdom became darkened ,
and men gnawed their tongues for pain ,
*
and they blasphemed the God of heaven ,
because of their pains and their sores ;
yet of their deeds they did not repent .
*
And the sixth poured his bowl upon the great river ,
the River Euphrates ,
and its water was dried up so as to make ready the way for the kings that come from the sunrising .
*
And I saw three unclean spirits ,
like frogs ,
coming out of the dragons mouth ,
and the beasts mouth ,
and the false prophets mouth .
*
For these are the spirits of demons performing miracles ,
who go forth to the kings of the habitable earth ,
to gather them together for the battle of the great Day of God ,
the Almighty .
*
Lo ,
I am coming like a thief .
Blessed is the who is on the watch and guarding his clothing ,
so that he may not walk naked ,
and they gaze on his shame .
*
And the spirits gathered the kings together at the place called in Hebrew ,
Armageddon .
*
And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air ,
and a great voice came forth out of the temple from the throne ,
saying , "
It is finished !"
*
And lightnings and voices and thunders and a great earthquake such as had not happened since man began to be upon the earth ,
so great an earthquake ,
so mighty ;
*
and the great city was shattered into three parts ,
and the cities of the nations fell ,
and great Babylon came to mind before the face of God ,
to give her the cup of the wine of the passion of his anger .
*
And every island fled away ,
and the mountains sank from sight .
*
And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven ,
every stone about the weight of a talent ;
and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail ,
for the plague of it is very great .
*
And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls ,
and spoke to me ,
saying , "
Come hither and I will show you the sentence passed upon the great harlot who sits on many waters ,
