1. Then I saw another wonder in heaven. It was great and amazing. There were seven angels bringing seven troubles. These are the last troubles, because after these troubles God’s anger is finished.
2. I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire. All of those who had won the victory over the beast and his idol and over the number of his name were standing by the sea. They had harps that God had given them.
3. They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb:“You do great and wonderful things, Psalm 111:2Lord God, the God of heaven’s armies. Amos 3:13Everything the Lord does is right and true, Psalm 145:17King of the nations.
4. Everyone will respect you, Lord. Jeremiah 10:7They will honor you.Only you are holy.All people will comeand worship you. Psalm 86:9-10This is because he is a faithful God who does no wrong.He is right and fair.” Deuteronomy 32:4
5. After this I saw the temple (the Tent of the Agreement) in heaven. The temple was opened.
6. And the seven angels bringing the seven troubles came out of the temple. They were dressed in clean, shining linen. They wore golden bands tied around their chests.
7. Then one of the four living things gave seven golden bowls to the seven angels. The bowls were filled with the anger of God, who lives forever and ever.
8. The temple was filled with smoke from the glory and the power of God. No one could enter the temple until the seven troubles of the seven angels were finished.
