In this week’s study, I finish up with Chapter 15. Once again before I begin I go into this study I go into a rant on some of the current events that affected our daily life, Such as Satan using the Jewish government to destroy Christian Civilization. I talk about the Rockefeller Brother Funded of the Hamas along with George Soros. I discuss ‘Pharmageddon’ and how the Covid Vaccine Bioweapon Kills innocent people/
The Sixth Vision "In Heaven”
It is the Vision which introduces us to the most terrible of all the Visions which affect the earth; for it is followed by the Seven Vials, the seven great and final judgments which close up the whole series set forth in chapters—
16 The Great Judgments.
17 The Great Whore.
18 The Great City.
Introduction
Chapter 15 is the final chapter and the climax of the “Introduction to the Bowls”, which began with chapter 12.
The angels of verse 1 are prepared to deliver Yahweh’s wrath. However, before proceeding directly into the wrath, we see a pause in order to make a point: Yahweh’s wrath is justified.
Now John is giving us another insight on what is taken place in this Temple in Heaven.
The 4 beasts or living creatures!
"The FOUR LIVING CREATURES"--not "beasts" as in the A.V. which confuses with "the beast" of chapter 13. "FOUR" in number these "living creatures" represent things on earth or MANKIND. They have eyes on all sides. That is, they see all that is going on in all directions. They have the qualities of a LION--STRENGTH, an OX--SERVICE, the FACE OF A MAN--INTELLIGENCE, and the EAGLE of HIGH SPIRITUAL FLIGHT. Like Isaiah's seraphim (Isa. 6:1-13) each has six wings. And they sing of the mighty strenght of Yahweh PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE. (verse 7). J. P. Love suggests "It will be well worth while to read this fourth chapter of Revelation and the sixth chapter of Isaiah together and then go carefully through the hymn "Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty," noting how remarkably the hymnist has blended the figures used by Isaiah and John." (Dr. J. P. Love "Layman's Bible Commentary on John--Jude--Revelation" SCM Press, Page 64). The praising of Yahweh by the four living creatures and the elders in verses 6-11 lift our hopes for the time when the qualities of ALL mankind shall be equal to the STRENGTH of the lion, the POWER and SERVICE of the ox, the INTELLIGENCE of a man, and the SWIFTNESS of the eagle.
7 And one of the four beasts = See the notes on Rev. 4:6-7. Which one of the four is not mentioned.
Gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials = The word used here - φιάλη phialē ‘fee-al-ay’- means properly, “a bowl or goblet, having more breadth than depth”
Full of the wrath of God = Filled with what represented his wrath;
Who liveth forever and ever = The eternal Yahweh.
8 And the temple was filled with smoke = smoke symbolic of judgement!The usual symbol of the divine presence in the temple.
From the glory of Yahweh = From the manifestation of the divine majesty.
And from his power = ‘doo-nam-is’Produced by his power; and the symbol of his power.
And no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled = Until those vials had been poured out, and all that was indicated by them was accomplished. At this point in time, Heaven is locked up. The gates are closed.
