Revelation Chapter 15 VERSE 3 “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, O King of the saints!” AND THEY SANG: This is NOT the new, personal song of Rev 14:3. Only the 144,000 know that song. But obviously Moses knew this one! This confirms what was stated in our previous post: the harp playing and…

To help understand this chapter, it is good to see these three focuses and their purposes. A) The first focus (Verse 1) is on angels which have plagues which will finish God’s (These…
Revelation Chapter 15 INTRODUCTION TO THE PLAGUES A brief preface to the Subject of the Plagues “This exposition will treat the plagues as having mostly occurred during the 20th Century. No serious Bible student, or human being for that matter, can deny that this century has been, if not THE most eventful in history, certainly ONE of the most eventful in history. Are we to believe that Revelation has ignored these astounding events (viz. the first of its kind world…

And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.” So, the angel thrust his sickle into the…
