The messengers bringing the final plagues

Rev 15:1–8

15 Then I saw another miraculous sign in heaven: seven messengers with the seven final disasters, because the expression of God’s anger will finish with these.

2 I saw something that was like a sea of glass that had been mixed with fire. The people who had been victorious over the sea creature and over its image and over the number of its name were standing on that sea of glass. They were holding harps from God 3 and singing this song that came from God’s slave Mosheh, and from the lamb, which went:[ref]

“What you do, Yahweh God, ruler over everything,

is powerful and marvellous.

Your ways PATHS? are fair and honest,

king of the ages.[fn]

4 Who will refuse to respect you, Yahweh,[ref]

and honour your name?

Yes, you alone are HOLY,

because all the nations will come

and worship in front of you,

because your RIGHTEOUS acts have been revealed.”

5 Then after that, I saw that the temple doors—the tent that’s a testimony—were open[ref] 6 and the seven messengers holding the seven disasters came out of the temple. They were dressed in clean, bright linen, with golden sashes wrapped around their chests. 7 Then one of the four living creatures gave the seven messengers seven golden bowls that were full of the anger of God who lives through all the ages, 8 and the temple was filled with smoke from God’s glory and from his power, and no one was able to enter the temple until the seven disasters from the seven messengers were completed.[ref]


15:2 TC: There’s a textual variant here where some manuscripts have ‘εθνων’ (nations) and other readings instead of the older reading: ‘αἰώνων’ (ages).
