Revelation Chapter 15: The Winepress of the Wrath of God!

The Seven Angels with Their vials of the wrath of God prepared to be poured out upon the earth.

The Book of Revelation is the greatest and one of the most complicated prophecies of the whole Bible, and it is placed in its proper place, (the End) even as Genesis is placed in its proper place, (the beginning). 

Genesis means the Beginning, and reveals the beginning of all things, therefore it is the first Book and the foundation of our understanding. 

Revelation is the last Book in the Bible, and reveals the finish of all things in their order. It is impossible to thoroughly understand the prophecies of this Book without first studying and understanding all other Books of the Bible, which were recorded for that purpose. Just as the text books is used in our schools to enlarge our knowledge, and open to us the finished product, so does the Books of the Bible serve to lead us to the finished product declared in Revelation.

Even the timing of each prophecy is guided by the future sayings and prophecies recorded.(Revelation chapter 15)

At the close of the 14th chapter the reaping of both the Righteous and the Wicked harvest is declared, which brings us to the close of the Age, and the destruction of all ungodly flesh and the opening of the Millennial Reign.

Chapters 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, (Read Here)declare further details which were not declared in their fulness in the previous chapters.The details of these chapters all transpire under the Seventh Seal, which will go back as far as chapter 8 and vs.1 where there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour,while the engagement of the Bride takes place.

Rev 8:1”And when he had opened the seventh seal,there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.”

The 15th and 16th chapters give further description of the wrath and judgments of Almighty God. The fulness of the "mystery of iniquity" had to run its course. The Seven Angels, each carry a vial of the wrath of God. The long suffering of our God waited until the "mystery of iniquity" was FILLED to the brim of the cup, before His wrath was manifested.

The resurrection of the Righteous dead, and all Christians that were left on the earth had been caught up in the air to meet the Lord and were taken into heaven.....

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 ”For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord,that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep....For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:..Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

The only flesh that is left on earth are sinners whose resurrection does not take place until the Great White Throne Judgment, which does not come to pass until the 1,000 year Reign is over,
Revelation chapter 20. (Read Here)

Revelation chapter 15:2,3,4 “And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God....And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.... Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

When These Angels appeared, John saw all the martyrs of Those Who loved not Their lives unto death,standing on the sea of glass,having the harps of God.They were about to be avenged by the judgments of God. They rejoiced and sang the song of Moses, the song of praise and honor to a just God.

The Seven Angels were given the vials of the wrath of God to pour out upon the earth. The temple was filled with smoke from God's glory and power. The wrath of God became alive and no man could enter the temple until the Seven plagues were fulfilled.

Revelation chapter 15:1 "AND I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God."

John saw this SIGN in heaven just as he saw the SIGN of the Woman in Revelation 12:1 ”And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:” , and the great wonder of the Dragon with SEVEN HEADS and TEN HORNS. He saw that which was to take place on the earth by the Woman, which is the Church, and the Dragon, the Beast. The Seven Angels having the Seven plagues are REDEEMED SAINTS of the earth.

Revelation chapter 15:2 "And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire:and them that had gotten the victory over the beast,and over his image,and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God."

These also were REDEEMED from the earth. They were singing the song of Moses and of the Lamb.

Revelation chapter 15 Verses 3-4
"And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God,and the song of the Lamb,saying,Great and marvellous are thy works,Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints....Who shall not fear thee,O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."

All the nations on earth shall come and worship before God. 

Verse 5 "And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:"....

Read verses 7 and 8.

7. "And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden
vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever."8."And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled."

The temple of the tabernacle is the Temple of God which is built out of Lively Stones on earth for a habitation of God through His Spirit, Ephesians 2:21- 22 "In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:...In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit."1

Peter 2:5-6
“Ye also,as lively stones,are built up a spiritual house,an holy priesthood,to offer up spiritual sacrifices,acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone,elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.”

This speaks of the same House that God established upon the mount where the Son of God dwelt during the great Last Day ministry and which He led as a Testimony to the world.

Isaiah 2:2-3
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S HOUSE shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it....And many people shall go and say. Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of ZION shall go forth the law, and the WORD OF THE LORD FROM JERUSALEM."

The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, while it is still on earth will be opened also. Thus, the Testimony of the Temple and the Tabernacle, will be heard throughout the earth from the House upon the Mount. This is the Last Day Ministry.....

Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a WITNESS unto ALL NATIONS; and THEN SHALL THE END COME."

The Temple and Tabernacle of God on earth carried the Testimony of redemption. The Tabernacle was the perfect Temple of Lively Stones, which God created on earth and will use in the Last Day Ministry. They are the House of God upon the Mount, They are a many membered Body. 

Now this same Temple is in heaven.The Seven Angels come out of the Temple with a mission of plagues and the wrath of God unto destruction.They come out of the Temple of the House of God, having the Seven plagues,clothed in pure and white linen, and having Their breasts girded with golden girdles.

This is the clothing of the Priests of the Temple in the world. The same clothing of the Bride of the Lamb, and of the Armies that followed the Word (Jesus) on White Horses:

Revelation 19:8 "And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints."

Revelation 19:13 "And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.".....

Revelation 19:14 ''And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean." 

They were made Kings and Priests of God, Revelation 1:5 "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,".

They were of that Chosen Generation,a Royal Priesthood,the Holy Nation,that Peculiar People,2 Peter 2:9 "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:".

They were of the earth, and made perfect and followed Jesus whithersoever He goeth. They are the Same Angels of Revelation Chapter 8 (Read Here). They were held in the wilderness until the resurrection of the Righteous dead, and then They were taken into heaven.

After viewing the conclusion of the Battle of Armageddon, which was to come, John was shown the wrath of God being poured out upon the world through the last Seven plagues. Before the vials of the wrath of God were released, John was shown a sea of glass mingled with fire,

Revelation chapter 15 verses 2,4 

Upon the sea of glass he saw those who had gotten the victory over the Antichristal Beast, and the number of His mark, Their victory came by Them giving Their lives in martyrdom. They stood upon the sea of glass with harps, singing of Moses and the Lamb, the song of Deliverance....

They were singing, "Great and Marvelous are Thy works, Lord God Almighty; Just and True are Thy ways,thou King of Saints..Who shall not fear thee, О Lord, AND GLORIFY THY NAME? for thou art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee: for thy judgments are made manifest."

verses 2 ''And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.''

Verse 4 "Who shall not fear thee. О Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."
