[Verse 1] On a sea of glass mingled with fire, the victors hold the harps of God. They sing the song of Moses and the Lamb: Great and marvellous are thy works; just and true are thy ways. The temple opens; glory fills it with smoke. Seven angels receive seven golden vials. [Pre-Chorus] Pour the measure. Finish the wrath. The altar answers: true and righteous. [Verse 2] First, a grievous sore upon the marked. Second, the sea becomes dead blood. Third, rivers and fountains turn to blood. Fourth, the sun scorches men with fire. They blaspheme the name of God and will not repent to give him glory. [Interlude] [Verse 3] Fifth, the beast's throne darkens; men gnaw their tongues for pain. Sixth, Euphrates dries for eastern kings; three unclean spirits gather the earth to the place called Armageddon. [Bridge] The seventh vial enters the air. A great voice from the throne says: It is done. The greatest earthquake divides the city; Babylon receives the cup. Islands flee, mountains vanish, great hail falls,and men still blaspheme. [Outro] No vial remains. True and righteous are his judgments.

About the passage

Revelation 15: A victory song stands before the final plagues

The Book of Revelation introduces the seven last plagues as the completion of divine wrath, yet before any bowl is poured it shows those who have overcome the beast, its image, its mark, and the number of its name. They stand by a glasslike sea mingled with fire and sing a song called both the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb. Their victory is not described as military conquest but as faithful refusal of the beast's claims. Their song praises God's works, justice, truth, holiness, and the coming worship of the nations. Then the temple of the tabernacle of testimony opens in heaven. Seven angels emerge in pure linen, receive golden bowls from one of the living creatures, and stand while smoke from God's glory fills the sanctuary. No one can enter until the plagues are completed. Covenant language, worship, and judgment remain joined at the threshold of the final sequence.

Revelation 16: The bowls bring the conflict to its appointed gathering

Seven bowls pour judgment over the beast's worshipers and the world that supports them. The first three bring sores and turn sea, rivers, and springs to blood, while heavenly voices explicitly connect the blood judgment with the blood of saints and prophets. The fourth and fifth bowls bring scorching heat and darkness, yet pain does not produce repentance. The sixth dries the Euphrates and releases deceptive spirits from the dragon, beast, and false prophet to gather rulers for battle at Armageddon. In the middle of that gathering, Christ's warning about watchfulness reaches back to the church messages. The seventh bowl is poured into the air and receives the declaration, "It is done." The Book of Revelation then shows unparalleled earthquake, falling cities, Babylon remembered for judgment, vanished islands and mountains, and crushing hail, while the final human response remains blasphemy rather than repentance.
