A.The Song of Moses and the Lamb by the Glassy Seavv. 1-4
1 Then I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven: seven angels with the seven final plagues, with which the wrath of God is completed. 2 And I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, beside which stood those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name. They were holding harps from God, 3 and they sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and wonderful are Your works, O Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations! 4 Who will not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”
B.Seven Golden Bowls and a Temple Filled With Smokevv. 5-8
5 After this I looked, and the temple—the tabernacle of the Testimony—was opened in heaven. 6 And out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, dressed in clean and bright linen and girded with golden sashes around their chests. 7 Then one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. 8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power; and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
Chapter summary
A short hinge chapter, the smallest in the book, holding its breath before the bowls: 'another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having seven plagues, which are the last, for in them is finished the wrath of God.' John sees a sea of glass mingled with fire, and standing on it 'them that come off victorious from the beast, and from his image, and from the number of his name,' having harps of God.

John sees a sea of glass mingled with fire, and standing on it 'them that come off victorious from the beast, and from his image, and from the number of his name,' having harps of God. They sing two songs as one: 'the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb,' Exodus 15 at the Red Sea joined to the Lamb's redemption: 'Great and marvellous are thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty.' Then seven golden bowls are given out, and the temple fills with smoke from his glory, and none was able to enter until the plagues are finished.
