Revelation 15 and 16
Revelation 15
So far in Revelation we have seen so many things. Now would be a good time to review all that we have learned... which is so much!
We see that Revelation 15 is another vision from Revelation_15:1
Revelation_15:2 :
The sea of glass is the laver (wash basin)
This laver was the one that priests would wash themselves in before entering the temple and wash offerings as well
These lavers could be quite large
Sea of Glass Mingled with Fire
Malachi_3:1-8Malachi_3:17-18 Malachi_4:1-6
According to these verses, the righteous get purified during the judgement of the wicked
Read Great Controversy chapter 24
Song of Moses
Exodus_15:1-19 Deuteronomy_32:1-22
In these verses the people are being scattered
We're not sure what the song of the lamb is about. We think that it is the song of the hundred and forty four thousand
Revelation 16:1-15
The seven last plagues
This is about the time of trouble (chapter 39 of Great Controversy)
In the seven last plagues, evil angels are going to be part of the destruction like in the story of Job, just with God's permission
When God closes probabtion, God is showing that he knows our hearts. The righteous will remain faithful to God and the wicked will not change
The Plagues (Pouring out of the vials)
First five plauges are litteral the last two are symbolic. They all have some symbolisim in them, anyway
Revelation_16:2 sores and dieses
Revelation_16:3 Sea became blood that killed the living things in the sea
Revelation_16:4 Rivers and fountains of water beocme blood
Revelation_16:8-9 The hot sun
Revelation_16:10-11 The kingdom was full of darkness
Revelation_16:12-16 The waters are dried up
Revelation_16:17 A voice from the throne in heaven saying "It Is Finished"
The sixth plague
The sixth plague says that the waters are dried up. Waters represent people.
The king of the east was Cyrus who set the Israelites free from Babylon
Satan uses tricks to get people to follow him by saying he is god
Th battle of Armageddon is in the sixth plague
Armageddon
We must be wide awake like the wise virgine
We need to understand the pouring out of the seventh vial in order to survive Armageddon
There is a great hail
Hail
The end of Babylon and the beginning of God's Kingdom
The stone that hits the feet of the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream is "made without hands" which usually reffers to hail
The Seventh Plague
The coming of Christ
