Rev 15:1
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.



John sees something else in heaven. It was something that we would be overjoyed about. He saw seven angels and they had the the last seven punishments, and in those punishments will complete the Lord's wrath on those that dwell on the earth, that are not doing what he wants. Always remember God's wrath will only be directed to those that are not doing what he has told them to do, as it is written.

We are given the example in the book of Exodus, God protected his children even when they were right next to the ones he was punishing. The Lord even gave the egyptians a chance to escape the wrath of God, if they chose to.


Exod 9:4-7
4 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel.
5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
6 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

(See the Lord protected Israel's cattle and not one died, but the cattle of Egypt did die.)

Exod 9:19-21
19 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.


(Here is another example; The Lord told everyone, if you have your cattle in the field they will die, but if you bring your cattle in the house, they will not die. This was not only said to Israel, it was said to everyone else.)

Exodus 9:20 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.

(Even some of the Egyptians listened to the Lord and saved their cattle and servants.)

Exod 9:25-26
25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.

(Now if you compare these plagues with the seven vials, you will see that they are almost the same. There is nothing new under the Sun. The Lord has given us examples of what will be in the end time and he did it from the beginning of the birth of flesh Israel.)

The main point is this, The Lord controls everything and he has all the power, so if you are alive on earth at the time of his wrath, and you are doing what he told you to do, you will be protected from his punishment. That is how Jesus Christ protects us through this time, Jesus is the Word of God, so if you follow the bible and what it tells you to do, then you will be protected, if you do not follow the bible, then you will go through the wrath, just as everyone else will.

Revelation 15:2
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.


Next John sees another thing, he sees the people that overcame Satan and his system, while they were alive on earth. They were happy and they had harps.

Now remember these things in this chapter, is just a big picture of what is happening. We have the christians and the non-christians "rewards" mentioned.

Revelation 15:3
" And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God,"

The overcomers are going to be singing a song. It is called the Song of Moses. Did you know the song of Moses is written in the Word of God? Well it is and you can find it in two places. Exodus is one, that is a shorter version. Deuteronmy is the other that is the full version.

It should only be one more week,till we are finished with chapter 15. I did not want to put the whole chapter together, because the Lord has some interesting things to teach us about the last verses. I just started the study and I already can tell you it will be another good lesson from the Lord.

After we finish chapter 15 then we will study the "song of Moses". It will tell you everything you need to know about the time that Satan is on earth and what "the church" will be doing and what they will be going through. We are going to Study Deuteronmy 32 and Exodus 15. If you want to go and study those chapters, with this study.

Do not ever let anyone tell you, you will be gone and will not go through the tribulation, because the bible says you will be here and Jesus will not return until after that time. The bible also tells us that Jesus will not leave earth once he gets here. He is going to seperate everyone in the World. One group will be his sheep the others will be the goats. Then the ones that are his sheep will teach those that are the goats during the millinium, as it is written.

II Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

(Satan comes first, then Jesus gathers his church to him)

Matt 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

(When Jesus comes he will seperate the sheep from the goats. Sheep his church, goats is everyone else.)

Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

(Those that are consider sheep will not have to worry about the "white throne judgment", which is done by The Father, not Jesus. That is the judgment after the millinium.)


Revelation 15:3
"and the song of the Lamb"

(The ones that overcome Satan during his time on earth will be singing another song. Which is the song of the Lamb. The words to this song are found in the rest of the chapter.)

Revelation 15:3
" saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints."

(The first thing they say is give glory to the Father, who is to have all the glory. Then they say that everything that he does is the right way and the fair way, then they say he is their King.)

Revelation 15:4
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.

(Then they ask a question. Is there anyone who will not fear the Lord, and give his name glory? (The answer is no) The reason is because The Father is Holy and all the different nations of the world will come and worship him, becaue they will know that everything he did was fair and just. No one will be able to say, "wait a minute, what about this?")

(Now I have a question for everyone. What if the Lord sent those people to the "lake of fire" after the white throne judgment, that never knew Jesus exsisted? There are two different groups here. One is the people that were born before Jesus and died before Jesus. The other is the people that were born after Jesus and died after Jesus? There is only one way into the Kingdom of God and that is through Jesus Christ. Could those people say to the Lord, "hey I never knew about Jesus, how come I have to go into the lake of fire?" Of they could, if there was no mellinium, but that is what the mellinium is for. )
