PREPARATION FOR THE BOWL JUDGMENTS

15Then I saw another great and awe-inspiring signE in heaven:ah seven angels with the seven last plagues; for with them God’s wrath will be completed.ai 2I also saw something like a sea of glassa mixed with fire, and those who had won the victory over the beast, its image,F and the number of its name, were standing on the sea of glass with harps from God.b 3They sang the song of God’s servant Mosesc and the song of the Lamb:

Great and awe-inspiring are your works,

Lord God, the Almighty;

just and trued are your ways,

King of the nations.Ge

4Lord, who will not fear

and glorify your name?

For you alone are holy.f

All the nations will come

and worship before youg

because your righteous acts

have been revealed.

5After this I looked, and the heavenly temple—the tabernacle of testimonyh—was opened.i

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished.

And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,

“Great and amazing are your deeds,

O Lord God the Almighty!

Just and true are your ways,

O King of the nations!

Who will not fear, O Lord,

and glorify your name?

For you alone are holy.

All nations will come

and worship you,

for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

After this I looked, and the sanctuary of the tent of witness in heaven was opened,

NIVNew International Version (2011)

I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. And I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of its name. They held harps given them by God and sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb:

“Great and marvelous are your deeds,

Lord God Almighty.

Just and true are your ways,

King of the nations.

Who will not fear you, Lord,

and bring glory to your name?

For you alone are holy.

All nations will come

and worship before you,

for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

After this I looked, and I saw in heaven the temple—that is, the tabernacle of the covenant law—and it was opened.

NLTNew Living Translation

Then I saw in heaven another marvelous event of great significance. Seven angels were holding the seven last plagues, which would bring God’s wrath to completion. I saw before me what seemed to be a glass sea mixed with fire. And on it stood all the people who had been victorious over the beast and his statue and the number representing his name. They were all holding harps that God had given them. And they were singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb:

“Great and marvelous are your works,

O Lord God, the Almighty.

Just and true are your ways,

O King of the nations.

Who will not fear you, Lord,

and glorify your name?

For you alone are holy.

All nations will come and worship before you,

for your righteous deeds have been revealed.”

Then I looked and saw that the Temple in heaven, God’s Tabernacle, was thrown wide open.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven: seven angels having seven plagues that are the last ones, because with them the wrath of God is completed. And 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 were standing by the glassy sea, holding harps from God. And they were singing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:

“Great and marvelous are your works,

Lord God All-Powerful;

righteous and true are your ways,

King of the ages!

Who would never fear, Lord,

and glorify your name?

For only you are holy,

because all the nations will come

and worship before you,

because your righteous deeds have been revealed.”

And after these things I looked, and the temple, the tent of the testimony in heaven, was opened,

KJV 1900King James Version

And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
