- (Rev 15:1-4 NIV) 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. {2} And I saw
what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire and, standing beside the
sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over
the number of his name. They held harps given them by God {3} and sang
the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb:
"Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and
true are your ways, King of the ages. {4} Who will not fear you, O 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."

- (Rev 15:5-8 NIV) After this I
looked and in heaven the temple, that is, the tabernacle of the
Testimony, was opened. {6} Out of the temple came the seven angels with
the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean, shining linen and wore
golden sashes around their chests. {7} Then one of the four living
creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the
wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever. {8} And the temple was filled
with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could
enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were
completed.

- (Rev 16:1-2 NIV) Then I heard a
loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go, pour
out the seven bowls of God's wrath on the earth." {2} The first
angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful
sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and
worshiped his image.

- (Rev 16:4-7 NIV) The third angel
poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became
blood. {5} Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say: "You
are just in these judgments, you who are and who were, the Holy One,
because you have so judged; {6} for they have shed the blood of your
saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink as they
deserve." {7} And I heard the altar respond: "Yes, Lord God
Almighty, true and just are your judgments."

- (Rev 16:12-16 NIV) The sixth
angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water
was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. {13} Then I
saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the
mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth
of the false prophet. {14} They are spirits of demons performing
miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to
gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty. {15}
"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and
keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be
shamefully exposed." {16} Then they gathered the kings together to
the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

- (Rev 16:17-21 NIV) The seventh
angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a
loud voice from the throne, saying, "It is done!" {18} Then
there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a
severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has
been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. {19} The great city split
into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God
remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine
of the fury of his wrath. {20} Every island fled away and the mountains
could not be found. {21} From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred
pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague
of hail, because the plague was so terrible.
