Introduction
In this session, Revelation chapter 15: 1-8, we compare the worship of those who were delivered from Egypt by Moses the deliverer and those who will be delivered during the great tribulation by Deliverer Jesus, in both cases, the response will be worship in truth and Spirit. When God delivered the children of Israel from the furnace of persecution of Pharaoh, Moses sang a song of victory as recorded in Exodus 15:1-19. This is called WORSHIP. In the same way, after the believers who go through tribulation are victorious over the beast, they will sing the song of the Lamb -Jesus Christ. The song of deliverer Moses was first in the bible, while the song of deliverer Jesus will be the last recorded in the bible after tribulation

The seven angels with the seven plagues
Revelation 15: 1-8.
Audio Summary
Revelation 15:1-8
- Context:
- John’s vision in Revelation 15:1-8, set during the tribulation, post-rapture, prepares for the seven bowl judgments, the final plagues completing God’s wrath, highlighting His nature and the response of His people.
- The church is raptured, and God separates the righteous from the wicked, preserving the faithful before unleashing judgment on those who worship the beast.
- Preparation for Final Judgments (Revelation 15:1-8):
- John sees a great sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues, completing God’s wrath; a sea of glass mixed with fire holds the victorious, who overcame the beast, its image, and its number, singing the song of Moses and the Lamb, praising God’s deeds, ways, and holiness (v. 1-4).
- The righteous, harvested through death, worship God with harps, glorifying His justice and universal call to worship, affirming that all nations will bow before Him (v. 3-4).
- The temple in heaven opens, and seven angels, dressed in shining linen with golden sashes, receive golden bowls of God’s wrath from a living creature; the temple fills with God’s glory and power, barring entry until the plagues are complete (v. 5-8).
- Mercy is evident in God’s patience, preserving the righteous and offering salvation until the final moment, though no further repentance is possible once the bowls are poured.
- Application:
- Worship God like the victorious, trusting His righteous nature to preserve the faithful; respond to His patience now, accepting Christ to avoid the final plagues and join the redeemed in glory.
