Revelation 15: The End Is Near!

Are you ready for "the end"?  Revelation 15 begins to draw this book of prophecy to a close, especially as it concerns God's judgment.  With the pouring out of the seven bowl judgments, God's wrath is completed (vs. 1).

The preamble to the end includes another song by the victorious saints (again with a reference to "all nations" in verse 4), seven more angels (there sure are A LOT of angels in this book, isn't there?) and pictures of a heavenly temple that corresponds to the one on Earth.  It reminds me of when the vision of the Tabernacle was revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus, and he was told to have it constructed exactly according to the pattern he saw.

The idea of a "bowl" of judgment being poured out upon the earth sounds thorough - these judgments will not affect just one-fourth or one-third of humanity - but its totality.  The end is near!
