       Continuing in the text, John states: “And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands” (Revelation 15:2, ESV). Again, as we have in other places in Revelation and in the Bible, we get a glimpse, a sneak peek into God's throne room in Heaven, and some of what it looks like. John describes here “a sea of glass” which is also “mingled with fire.” The sea of glass is undoubtedly a beautiful sight, as this is some type of glass flooring that sits before God’s throne. Interestingly enough, John describes fire underneath the sea of glass, which must represent God’s fury that is about to be unleashed on his adversaries. Psalm 79 talked about this, when the psalmist said, “How long, O Lord? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire? Pour out your anger on the nations that do not know you, and on the kingdoms that do not call upon your name! For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his habitation” (5-7, ESV).

       Thus begins the final segment of God’s wrath being displayed on the whole world. Right off the bat, the Apostle John notes here that the angles with their seven plagues are “great and amazing.” This is should be a sign to us of the powerfulness and fierceness that we can expect from these final plagues, the bowls of wrath from God the Creator. We are going to find that while we know God created the world and everything in it at the beginning, we are about to watch God undue and destroy much of what he has done. This is the end of things as we know them to be. These last bowls here are not going to be a reiteration of what has already taken place, as some might propose, but these judgments are going to be the actual final judgments to fall upon the earth. While some of these may appear similar to previous ones, the main point here is that these final judgments encompass the entirety of the earth while some former judgments only covered portions of the earth. That’s the main difference and that is how we know these are distinct, separate, and final judgments.

       By force, God takes back what is rightfully his, the world, and begins his complete rulership over the people of the world. Satan and sin are eliminated from the picture, including people who willingly practice sin on a regular basis. God has the right to do this because, after all, it is his world. The earth, the sky, the universe, and everything in them belongs to God. He created everything, and he is taking back what is already his own. Before we completely get into these final judgments, the Bowl judgments, there is a prelude here in Revelation 15 that would be good for us to consider. Go ahead and turn in your Bibles, or tap in your Bible apps on your mobile devices, and let’s go to Revelation 15. We are not going to read the full chapter here first, but rather we will approach this text section by section in order to save time. So, let’s start at verse one here. The Apostle John states: “Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished” (ESV). Thus begins the final segment of God’s wrath being displayed on the whole world.

Peace to Live By: Don't Choose Hell Today (TMF:1362) - Daniel Litton

       Don't choose Hell today. Don't choose to keep your sin today. I plead with you to turn from your sin, and accept Jesus' perfect sacrifice on your behalf. He did it for you so you can truly be free. No one is really free apart from the freedom that God offers through Christ. Oh, you may think you're free, but you haven't experienced true freedom until your in a right and peaceful relationship with God, the One who has created everything. If you would like to accept Jesus today as your personal Lord and Savior, then follow my lead in this prayer: God, I am not right with you. I have sinned my whole life, living doing things the way I have wanted to do them. But today I accept your free gift of salvation and eternal life through Jesus. I believe Jesus did die on the cross for my sins, and that he rose from the dead and is back in Heaven with you. I give my life back to you, Father, and want you to make me new. I want to be like Jesus. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

       Perhaps all of this I've been talking about today has been new to you, or maybe you've studied this before, but you have never believed on Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins. You have never placed your trust in him and his Word. Know that God wants everyone to come to know him—no matter who the person is. He offers his free gift of salvation from sins and eternal life to whoever will believe in him. Jesus Christ died on the cross as a perfect substitute and rose from the dead defeating the power of sin and Satan altogether. Jesus can make you free from your sins today, and he will also give you freedom from their stronghold. You don't have to keep living feeling trapped today. No matter what you've done or what your situation is—all sin can be forgiven and you can be made new today through Jesus' sacrifice on your behalf on the cross. God gives people new lives today. Being at peace with God is really important for you. You don't want to leave this earth without that peace, without the assurance of where you are going when you die.
