(Revelation) Book of the Great Revealing 15

A POWERFUL OMEN FROM ABOVE

1Then in the spirit-world above I saw another omen. It was powerful enough to take one’s breath away! There were seven spirit-messengers with seven last disasters. After these, Creator’s fierce anger will come to an end.

2And then I saw what seemed to be a great sea, smooth and crystal clear, glowing with fire. And standing on this great sea were the ones who had won the victory over the wild beast, its carved image, and its mark. In their hands they held stringed instruments gifted to them from the Great Spirit.

3They were singing the song of Creator’s servant Drawn from the Water (Moses) and the song of Creator’s Lamb.

“O Great Creator and Honored One!” they sang with one voice . “All that you do is powerful and full of wonder! Your ways are right and true, O Chief of All Nations!

4Who is there who does not honor you with deep respect for who you are and what your name represents? Only you are holy! Because your right ways have been clearly shown to all nations, they will come to bring honor to you and serve you.”[#15:4 Psalm 86:9-10]

THE SEVEN SPIRIT-MESSENGERS

5After this I looked up and in the spirit-world above I saw that the sacred tent of Creator’s peace treaty was opened.[#15:5 Acts 7:44]

6The seven spirit-messengers who hold the power of the seven disasters came out from the sacred tent. They wore regalia made from pure, shining white garments with golden sashes wrapped around their chests.

7Then one of the four living spirit animals gave to the seven spirit-messengers seven golden smudge bowls that were filled with the fiery anger of the Great Spirit, the one who lives beyond the end of all days.

8Smoke that came from Creator’s shining-greatness filled the sacred tent, and no one was able to enter until the seven disasters from the seven spirit-messengers had come to an end.
