THE OUTPOURING OF THE SEVEN VIALS

THE OUTPOURING OF THE SEVEN VIALS
(Revelation 15:1—16:21)



The seven angels in heaven march out of the tabernacle of God in their dress uniforms. Each carrying one of the seven vials. Each vial contains a plague that is to be poured out on mankind. These seven vials are the wrath of God. God’s patience with the rebellious ungrateful human beings left on the earth has come to an end. God’s grace has ended and God’s judgment has now come to mankind.
Revelation 15:2

"And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God."

A "glassy sea" was mentioned before in 4:6; however, neither the people nor the fire were mentioned there. In 4:6 the glassy sea is before the throne; that is, it is in the heavens. Hence, "standing on the glassy sea" in 15:2 indicates that these people have been raptured to the throne in heaven. This portion of the Bible tells us that these people have passed through the great tribulation and have encountered the beast, the image of the beast, and the number of the beast. Revelation 14:4-16 shows us a perspective of the rapture by God as seen from the earth. Revelation 15:2 shows us the perspective as seen from heaven.

Take note this verse also shows the rapture is at the end of tribulations.

Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Also confirmed in Rev 19:11-21 as we compare Matthew 24:28 with Rev 19:21 about the carcase and the Eagles being fowls
as they have their fill which does not happen until Christ returns and destroys the beast and false prophet casting them into the lake of fire. Then the remnant in Rev 19:21 IMO being the harlots (leaders) of all nations that followed after their mother being the abominations of the Earth, Rev 17.

Sorry, but you are a little mistaken here! Just because people are mentioned here does not mean it is the CHURCH! Paul shows us that the rapture comes before the Day of the Lord - but as back to back events that cannot be separated: the rapture will be the trigger for the DAY. John shows us THE DAY starts at the 6th seal, and the days of GT where people will be beheaded will not begin until late in chapter 14. Therefore the rapture comes FIRST, just as Paul also teaches in 2 thes. 2. The 144,000 have nothing to do with the Gentile church of today. They are JEWS and HEBREWS.
