The Seventh Seal. Seventh Trumpet, Seventh Vial, and Seven Thunders
from the manifestation of Christ and his Brethren as the Lamb
in the midst of the 144,000 redeemed from the earth, to the
full establishment of the Millennial Throne and Kingdom of
David upon the utter destruction of Daniel's dreadful and
terrible Fourth Beast; and the subjection of the first three,
or the Lion, the Bear, and the Leopard.
TIME OF EVENTS
The Little Open Scroll belongs to the Days of the Voice of the
Seventh Trumpet, which are inclusive of "the Time of
the End". From A.D. 1792 to the end of the "thousand
and six hundred furlongs", or 40 years; A.D. 1908, or
thereabouts. The events of this chapter are parallel with
the Seventh Trumpet*.
TRANSLATION
1. And I saw another sign in the heaven, great and marvelous,
Seven Angels having the Seven Last Plagues, for in them is
filled up the wrath of the Deity.
2. And I saw as it were a glassy sea which had been
mingled with fire; and the conquerors of the beast, and of
his image, and of his sign, and of the number of his name,
standing upon the glassy sea, having harps of the Deity.
3. And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of the
Deity, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous
are thy works, 0 Lord the Omnipotent Deity; just and true
thy ways 0 King of the Saints!
4. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name?
For thou only art absolutely pure (hosios): for all the nations
shall come, and do homage before thee; because thy righteous
judgments (dikajomata) have been made manifest.
5. And after all these things I saw and behold, the
Nave of the Tabernacle of the Testimony had been opened in
the heaven.
6. And the Seven Angels having the Seven Plagues came
out from the Nave, having been clothed in linen, pure and
bright, and girded around the breasts with golden girdles.
7. And one of the four living ones gave to the seven
angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of the Deity who
lives for the aions of the aions.
8. And the Nave was full of smoke from the glory of the Deity
and from his power: and no one was able to enter into the
Nave until the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
