Chapter 15
Seven angels with the seven last plagues prepare to pour out God's wrath — the final act before the new creation.
Then I saw in heaven another sign, great and awe-inspiring: seven angels with the seven last plagues, for through them God's fury is accomplished.
NAB footnote:Seven last plagues: these plagues, modeled on the plagues of Egypt, are the final manifestation of God's wrath against those who refuse to repent.
Then I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire. On the sea of glass were standing those who had won the victory over the beast and its image and the number that signified its name. They were holding God's harps,
and they sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: "Great and wonderful are your works, Lord God almighty. Just and true are your ways, O king of the nations."
NAB footnote:Song of Moses: cf Exodus 15:1-18; Deuteronomy 32. Song of the Lamb: the new song of redemption.
Who will not fear you, Lord, or glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All the nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed."
