Revelation 15
This chapter describes the scene in heaven which initiates the final seven bowls of God’s wrath to be poured forth in the next chapter (Rev. 16).
The event which led to this, was the sounding of the seventh trumpet found in Revelation 11:15. The bowl judgments, introduced here, are those which come out of that trumpet and are the final plagues from God, which bring about the establishment of His kingdom on earth.
As the judgments have progressed from the seals, to the trumpets, and now to the bowls, their level of intensity has steadily increased. These are the final set of judgments, which conclude with the Second Coming of Christ, when the “great winepress of the wrath of God” is “trampled outside the city” (Rev.14:20). “He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God” (Rev. 19:15).
Such intense judgment to come! - Such grief, on the part of the Creator, toward anyone who refuses to acknowledge Him. Yet He must judge for His very holiness and justice require it!
Every person born will drink from one or the other of two cups. Either they will drink the cup of salvation: Or they will drink the cup of the wrath of God (Rev.14:10). Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your heart (Heb.3:15), for now is the day of salvation (2 Cor. 6:2).
The Truth
“He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” (John. 3:36)
