### The Final Plagues
**Principle**:
[[#Verse 01.]] Then I saw another great and astounding sign in heaven: seven angels who have seven final plagues (they are final because in them God’s anger is completed).
[[#Verse 02.]] Then I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had conquered the beast and his image and the number of his name. They were standingby the sea of glass, holding harps given to them by God.Â
[[#Verse 03.]] They sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb: “Great and astounding are your deeds, Lord God, the All-Powerful! Just and true are your ways, King over the nations!
[[#Verse 04.]]Â Who will not fear you, O Lord,
and glorify your name, because you alone are holy?
All nations will come and worship before you
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”
[[#Verse 05.]] After these things I looked, and the temple (the tent of the testimony) was opened in heaven,Â
[[#Verse 06.]] and the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out of the temple, dressed in clean bright linen, wearing wide golden belts around their chests.Â
[[#Verse 07.]] Then one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God who lives forever and ever,Â
[[#Verse 08.]] and the temple was filled with smoke from God’s glory and from his power. Thus no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues from the seven angels were completed.

2. The seven bowl judgments are called the last plagues because in them God's wrath is completed (15:1).
3. The song of Moses (15:3) recalls Exodus 15, sung after Israel crossed the Red Sea, and the song in Deuteronomy 32.
4. The words of the song echo several Old Testament passages, including Psalm 86:9, Psalm 111:2, and Jeremiah 10:7.
5. Some manuscripts of 15:3 read "King of the nations" while others read "King of the ages."
6. The sea of glass "mixed with fire" (15:2) recalls the sea of glass before the throne in 4:6.
7. "The temple of the tent of witness" (15:5) links the heavenly temple to the tabernacle Moses built.
8. The seven angels wear clean, bright linen and golden sashes (15:6), like priests and like Jesus in 1:13.
