Learn more about the ministry of the truth project at www.projecttruthmatters.com today is the beginning of Revelation chapter 15. The prelude to the seven bowl judgments, and here's a host I'm Dr. Cheryl Davison you've been listening to trade matters as the book of Revelation last time we were together we completed chapter 14 and the vision of the ram and the hundred 44,000 with a number of visions. After that, we are still in the prelude prior to chapter 16 said today will get started in chapter 15 chapter 15. Like I said is an introduction to the seven bowl judgments that occur in chapter 16, but will began chapter 15 and read verses one through eight. Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete and I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and that is to have victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark, never the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

They sing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying, great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty just and true are your ways, a king of the saints who shall not fear you, oh Lord, and glorify your name for you alone are holy.

For all nations shall come and worship before you, for your judgments have been manifested after these things I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened, and out of the temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen having their chest girded with golden bands. Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever.

The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed. So let's get into first one, and this is the sign in heaven there is, then I saw another sign in heaven as John describes this great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. These are the last events. As I said before, that will take place before Christ comes back in chapter 19. But why is God judging me think about this.

Why, why do we need seven more bowl judgments wiseguy judging. Why is his wrath being poured out is because the earth has failed to respond to his gospel of grace and really that is the source of his judgment for even history is that we have failed to respond to his gospel of grace. If you look in verse two we see the sea of glass on those who have victory over the beast, the victory over his image victory over his mark in the victory over the number of his name, who are these people. They are the saints who became Christians during the tribulation and who were unwilling to bow down to the antichrist. There victory was their resistance to the temptation to worship the beast in order to live. They refuse to take the mark of the beast. They were slain for faithfulness to Jesus and that landed them in heaven.

We also see them playing harps. These saints have harps to play before God. There are three groups of people who play in God Symphony ruptured saints who are in chapter 5 verse eight, the hundred 44,000 which we saw in Revelation chapter 14 verse two and now we see the martyred saints and chapter 15 Hussein before God was going to truth matters.
