Revelation 15:1-3

Then I saw another wonder (sign, token, symbol) in heaven, great and marvelous [warning of events of ominous significance]: There were seven angels bringing seven plagues (afflictions, calamities), which are the last, for with them God’s wrath (indignation) is completely expressed [reaches its climax and is ended].
  • Once again we see the number seven. Again we are shown that everything is happening on God’s time table. We are shown God’s perfection in bringing together His will of all men being saved and coming to the knowledge of the Truth.
  • Our Father’s wrath is not against His children, but against the things that harm us. Our Father is not getting even with His creation here, He is setting us free from trusting in the world.
  • Jesus is always amongst us, regardless of what is wrong with us. 
Then I saw what seemed to be a glassy sea blended with fire, and those who had come off victorious from the beast and from his statue and from the number corresponding to his name were standing beside the glassy sea, with harps of God in their hands.
  • Glass is clear, everything is plain to see in our Father’s eyes. 
  • Sea represents a group of people.
  • Fire represents our Father’s power working, the Holy Spirit. Fire cleanses, it may look violent, but is cleans out what doesn’t belong. Fire purifies. 
  • We can see the Holy Spirit working clearly in this group of people.
  • The Bride is standing beside this group which is the Church of Philadelphia. Our peace is that the wicked will come and learn Love from us.
  • Take note! I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet and learn and acknowledge that I have loved you. Revelation 3:9
  • We are shown that the Bride of Christ has harps. Harps play soothing music, so we are shown that we will be used to soothe the world.
  • We help the Guests of ours who will be at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
  • And those servants went out on the crossroads and got together as many as they found, both bad and good, so [the room in which] the wedding feast [was held] was filled with guests. Matthew 22:10
And they sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying, Mighty and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God the Omnipotent! Righteous (just) and true are Your ways, O Sovereign of the ages (King of the nations)!
  • Both Old Testament and New Testament saints will be here serving the guests by sharing the Truth with them that will set them free.
  • Whether in the flesh or just in the spirit, the Bride of Christ is used by God to serve the needy and each other.
  • Before we are shown the last seven plagues, we are shown just how glorious the results of the cleansing shall be.
