nt sea, having harps of God. And they
sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the
Lamb, saying, Great and wonderful are thy works, O Lord God
Almighty; just and true are thy ways, king of nations! Who should
not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art
holy; for all nations will come and worship before thee; for thy
judgments are manifested." Rev. 15:1-4.

This appears to close the vision commencing with the sixth verse of the
14th chapter, and to be independent of the remaining portion of the 15th
chapter.

These "seven angels," in the subsequent vision, discharge the contents of
the vials of God's wrath; but the epoch here presented is evidently
subsequent to that fulfilment; for the imitation of the "Song of Moses,"
must follow the infliction of the judgments which call forth that song of
rejoicing. They had here completed the wrath of God, the manner of which
act is subsequently shown in a separate vision.

The "sea of glass," must represent an elevation above the earth. For those
stationed there had gotten the victory over the beast and his image, had
escaped the wrath to be poured on those who worshipped those powers
(14:9), had been gathered when the harvest of the earth was reaped
(14:16), being then caught up to meet the Lord in the air (1 Thess. 4:17),
and now, the clusters of the vine of the earth having been gathered and
cast into the wine-press of the wrath of God (14:19), they rejoice above
the fires of earth, witnesses of the manifestations of God's judgments.
They have come out of all their tribulations, and evidently synchronize
with the palm-bearing multitude (Rev. 7:9), the hundred and forty-four
thousand on Mount Zion (14:1), and the multitude in heaven who sing
Alleluia over the judgment of the great harlot, 19:1.

"The song of Moses," was that sung by the Israelites when the Egyptians
had perished in the waters of the Red Sea, and they were safely encamped
on its further shore. The Lord had triumphed gloriously over the enemies
of Israel, had buried the horse and his rider in the sea, and was about to
plant his people in the mountain of his inheritance,--in the place which he
had made for them to dwell in,--in the sanctuary which he had established,
Ex. 15:1-21. The analogy requires that when this corresponding song is
sung, the ransomed of the Lord shall have correspondingly witnessed the
overthrow of the adversaries of Jehovah, and
