Revelation chapter 15, verse 7,

and one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels,

seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God,

who lives forever and ever,

and the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power,

and no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

We obviously don't have time,

and just a couple of short minutes to talk through these angels,

these golden bowls full of the wrath of God,

plagues that are mentioned here all in terms of sevens,

which is definitely biblical imagery for a perfection or complete number.

This is clear all over the book of Revelation.

This is clear all over the Bible,

that sinners who rebel against the holy God of the universe deserve eternal wrath

from God in His holiness,

in light of His holy hatred of sin,

that sinners deserve eternal wrath before Him.

That's the sobering picture of Revelation chapter 15,
