Revelation 15:1
Revelation 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
Here followeth the third principal prophecy of this Book; that is, the vision of the seven vials of the last plagues of God almighty, which contain the third woe denounced, \ and mentioned. \
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous.
It’ s called another sign, because it differeth from the former both in time and signification;
great and marvellous,
because it foretold great and wonderful events of the wrath of God against the kingdom of the beast. By angels here, we may understand those that shall be instruments in the ruin of the beasts kingdom, the Roman papacy, which are the kings of the earth, who shall hate the great whore, mystical Babylon, and burn her with fire. \ And make her desolate. Also the ministers of Christ, called angels, \ by declaring and denouncing the righteous judgments of God against the Beast, the false prophet, and the great whore, the Church of Rome, the mother of harlots, likewise the holy angels of God, and our Lord Jesus Christ the angel of the covenant, \ who shall execute his vengeance upon the beast, \ etc. They are called
the seven last plagues,
because by them God will put a final end to the kingdom of the beast.
