The Victors by the Sea
2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass[195] mingled with fire; and them that come off victorious from the [pg 079] beast, and from his image, and from the number of his name, standing by[196] the sea of glass[197], having harps of God.
The Chorus of Moses and the Lamb
3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant[198] of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
Great and marvellous are thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty; righteous and true are thy ways, thou King of the ages[199]. 4 Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy; for all the nations shall come and worship[200] before thee; for thy righteous acts have been made manifest.
The Temple in Heaven Opened
5 And after these things I saw, and the temple[201] of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: 6 and there came out from the temple[202] the seven angels that had the seven plagues, arrayed with precious stone[203], pure and bright, and girt about their breasts with golden girdles. 7 And one of the four living creatures gave unto the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever[204]. 8 And the temple[205] was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and none was able to enter into the temple[206], till the seven plagues of the seven angels should be finished.
