Celebration of the Victorious Saints

John is directed to view the third great sign (12:1, 3, and 15:1). Here we see the multitude of victorious believers standing beside the glassy sea and singing praise to the victorious Savior, using powerful references from the O.T.

The last half of the Chapter reveals the seven angels commissioned from the heavenly tabernacle to prepare to pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God to finish His judgments on the wicked followers of the beast and the Babylonian system.
