Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Revelation 15
⁵ Then I looked and saw that the Temple in heaven, God’s Tabernacle, was thrown wide open.
⁶ The seven angels who were holding the seven plagues came out of the Temple. They were clothed in spotless white linen with gold sashes across their chests.
⁷ Then one of the four living beings handed each of the seven angels a gold bowl filled with the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.
⁸ The Temple was filled with smoke from God’s glory and power. No one could enter the Temple until the seven angels had completed pouring out the seven plagues.
Revelation 16
¹ Then I heard a mighty voice from the Temple say to the seven angels, “Go your ways and pour out on the earth the seven bowls containing God’s wrath.”
² So the first angel left the Temple and poured out his bowl on the earth, and horrible, malignant sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue.
³ Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse. And everything in the sea died.
⁴ Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs, and they became blood.
⁵ And I heard the angel who had authority over all water saying, “You are just, O Holy One, who is and who always was, because you have sent these judgments.
⁶ Since they shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets, you have given them blood to drink. It is their just reward.”
⁷ And I heard a voice from the altar, saying, “Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty, your judgments are true and just.”
