1 - Then I, John, saw another happening in the heavens that struck me with wonder. I saw seven angels [arrayed in pure white, vs.5] - I soon found out, they had the seven final afflictions [plรฉgรฉ - blows, wounds, strikes] - the “last” - for with them the wrath [thymos - passion] of God (cause and effect) is spent [teleos - to finish, complete, fulfill, the root tel means reaching the end (aim). It is well-illustrated with the old pirate's telescope, unfolding, extending out, one stage at a time to function at full-strength/capacity and effectiveness]. (The telescope “aims” - tel, the end-aim, cause, effect. Imo:) (An all important lesson “all in heaven and Earth” must learn right down to every molecule of the universe? So to speak.. Must fully understand? Vs. being an ant farm?) (Both prophecy and the kingdom->within and without, individually and collectively - extend from smaller scope to larger scope.)

     2 I saw something like a sea of glass - mingled with fire - and those who had prevailed over the beast and its image [eikรณn - image, statue, mirror-like representation, projection] and over the number of its name, were standing upon the sea of glass, each with a harp [kithara - lyre, harp, stringed instrument] of God. 3 And they were singing the song of Moses, the servant of God. And the song of the Lamb, saying “great and marvelous are your works oh Lord God the Almighty! Your ways are righteous and true oh King of the nations! 4 Who will not fear/revere you oh Lord! And glory in your name/reputation/character! You alone are holy! “All” nations will come and worship before you! Because the righteousness, and justice, of your acts has been revealed!”

     5 After this I looked, and in heaven, the temple of the tabernacle/tent (of) testimony was opened 6 and out came the seven angels with the seven afflictions. [The “LAST” afflictions.] They wore linen, pure and bright, with wide gold sashes at their chests [stethos]. 7 Then the four living creatures gave to the seven angels, seven gold bowls full of the wrath of God who lives from age to age. 8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and his power, and no one could enter the temple (God is grieving) until the seven afflictions of the seven angels were (was) finished. [Cross reference with verse 5, 11:19 - first and last of the seven thunders?๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผ‍♀️]
