They were all holding harps that God had given them. | 2I also saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had won the victory over the beast, his image, and the number of his name, were standing on the sea of glass with harps from God. |

All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous deeds have been revealed.” The Seven Bowls of the Seven Plagues | 4Lord, who will not fear and glorify Your name? Because You alone are holy, for all the nations will come and worship before You because Your righteous acts have been revealed. |
5Then I looked and saw that the Temple in heaven, God’s Tabernacle, was thrown wide open. | 5After this I looked, and the heavenly sanctuary--the tabernacle of testimony--was opened. |

They were clothed in spotless white linen with gold sashes across their chests. | 6Out of the sanctuary came the seven angels with the seven plagues, dressed in clean, bright linen, with gold sashes wrapped around their chests. |
7Then one of the four living beings handed each of the seven angels a gold bowl filled with the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. | 7One of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven gold bowls filled with the wrath of God who lives forever and ever. |
