The Seven Angels with the Seven Last Plagues

 

Revelation 15:1-5, “And I saw another sign in heaven great and marvelous. Seven angels having the seven last plagues: for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

 

And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty: just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, 0 Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee: for thy judgments are made manifest.

 

 And after that I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.”

The vials are symbols of the wrath of God poured out upon that which is false, through the judgment of the word and Spirit in the preliminary judgment age.  In Rev. 11:6, John makes this clear, “These two witnesses (The Word and Spirit) have power to shut heaven that it rain not in the days of their prophecy; and have power over water to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with plagues as often as they will.

The two witnesses, the word and spirit, prophesied through the dark night of Papal Rome and it rained not.  In other words, there was no water of life poured out upon the earthly during the reign of their prophecy.  There was no true gospel allowed at that time, in public.  Catholicism prevailed instead and the truth cast down.

The two witnesses also had power to turn water to blood.  Water being a symbol of people ant when the people rejected the truth they became guilty of their blood.  And smiting the earth with plagues is the judgment rendered out against the earthly religious institutions, by ministers of the gospel who preach the truth in this day of preliminary judgment period.  These are ministers who are standing on the sea of glass, the work of God.  They have been delivered from the bondage of Sectism, confusion and division and now they rejoice in the glorious freedom of God’s eternal truth.
