A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
THE LAST SEVEN VIALS OF PLAGUES: SONG OF THE VICTORS OVER THE BEAST. (Rev 15:1-8)

the seven last plagues--Greek, "seven plagues which are the last."

is filled up--literally, "was finished," or "consummated": the prophetical past for the future, the future being to God as though it were past, so sure of accomplishment is His word. This verse is the summary of the vision that follows: the angels do not actually receive the vials till Rev 15:7; but here, in Rev 15:1, by anticipation they are spoken of as having them. There are no more plagues after these until the Lord's coming in judgment. The destruction of Babylon (Rev 18:2) is the last: then in Rev 19:11-16 He appears.

11 And [2532] I saw [1492] heaven [3772] opened [455], and [2532] behold [2400] a white [3022] horse [2462]; and [2532] he that sat [2521] upon [1909] him [846] was called [2564] Faithful [4103] and [2532] True [228], and [2532] in [1722] righteousness [1343] he doth judge [2919] and [2532] make war [4170].
12 [1161] His [846] eyes [3788] were as [5613] a flame [5395] of fire [4442], and [2532] on [1909] his [846] head [2776] were many [4183] crowns [1238]; and he had [2192] a name [3686] written [1125], that [3739] no man [3762] knew [1492], but [1508] he himself [846].
13 And [2532] he was clothed [4016] with a vesture [2440] dipped [911] in blood [129]: and [2532] his [846] name [3686] is called [2564] The Word [3056] of God [2316].
14 And [2532] the armies [4753] which were [3588] in [1722] heaven [3772] followed [190] him [846] upon [1909] white [3022] horses [2462], clothed [1746] in fine linen [1039], white [3022] and [2532] clean [2513].
15 And [2532] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750] goeth [1607] a sharp [3691] sword [4501], that [2443] with [1722] it [846] he should smite [3960] the nations [1484]: and [2532] he [846] shall rule [4165] them [846] with [1722] a rod [4464] of iron [4603]: and [2532] he [846] treadeth [3961] the winepress [3025] [3631] of the fierceness [2372] and [2532] wrath [3709] of Almighty [3841] God [2316].
16 And [2532] he hath [2192] on [1909] his vesture [2440] and [2532] on [1909] his [846] thigh [3382] a name [3686] written [1125], KING [935] OF KINGS [935], AND [2532] LORD [2962] OF LORDS [2962].
2 And [2532] he cried [2896] mightily [2479] with [1722] a strong [3173] voice [5456], saying [3004], Babylon [897] the great [3173] is fallen [4098], is fallen [4098], and [2532] is become [1096] the habitation [2732] of devils [1142], and [2532] the hold [5438] of every [3956] foul [169] spirit [4151], and [2532] a cage [5438] of every [3956] unclean [169] and [2532] hateful [3404] bird [3732].
1 And [2532] I saw [1492] another [243] sign [4592] in [1722] heaven [3772], great [3173] and [2532] marvellous [2298], seven [2033] angels [32] having [2192] the seven [2033] last [2078] plagues [4127]; for [3754] in [1722] them [846] is filled up [5055] the wrath [2372] of God [2316].
7 And [2532] one [1520] of [1537] the four [5064] beasts [2226] gave [1325] unto the seven [2033] angels [32] seven [2033] golden [5552] vials [5357] full [1073] of the wrath [2372] of God [2316], who [3588] liveth [2198] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
1 And [2532] I saw [1492] another [243] sign [4592] in [1722] heaven [3772], great [3173] and [2532] marvellous [2298], seven [2033] angels [32] having [2192] the seven [2033] last [2078] plagues [4127]; for [3754] in [1722] them [846] is filled up [5055] the wrath [2372] of God [2316].
2 And [2532] I saw [1492] as it were [5613] a sea [2281] of glass [5193] mingled [3396] with fire [4442]: and [2532] them that had gotten the victory [3528] over [1537] the beast [2342], and [2532] over [1537] his [846] image [1504], and [2532] over [1537] his [846] mark [5480], and over [1537] the number [706] of his [846] name [3686], stand [2476] on [1909] the sea [2281] of glass [5193], having [2192] the harps [2788] of God [2316].
3 And [2532] they sing [103] the song [5603] of Moses [3475] the servant [1401] of God [2316], and [2532] the song [5603] of the Lamb [721], saying [3004], Great [3173] and [2532] marvellous [2298] are thy [4675] works [2041], Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841]; just [1342] and [2532] true [228] are thy [4675] ways [3598], thou King [935] of saints [40].
4 Who [5101] shall [5399] not [3364] fear [5399] thee [4571], O Lord [2962], and [2532] glorify [1392] thy [4675] name [3686]? for [3754] thou only [3441] art holy [3741]: for [3754] all [3956] nations [1484] shall come [2240] and [2532] worship [4352] before [1799] thee [4675]; for [3754] thy [4675] judgments [1345] are made manifest [5319].
5 And [2532] after [3326] that [5023] I looked [1492], and [2532], behold [2400], the temple [3485] of the tabernacle [4633] of the testimony [3142] in [1722] heaven [3772] was opened [455]:
6 And [2532] the seven [2033] angels [32] came [1831] out of [1537] the temple [3485], having [2192] the seven [2033] plagues [4127], clothed [1746] in pure [2513] and [2532] white [2986] linen [3043], and [2532] having their breasts [4738] girded [4024] with [4012] golden [5552] girdles [2223].
7 And [2532] one [1520] of [1537] the four [5064] beasts [2226] gave [1325] unto the seven [2033] angels [32] seven [2033] golden [5552] vials [5357] full [1073] of the wrath [2372] of God [2316], who [3588] liveth [2198] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
8 And [2532] the temple [3485] was filled [1072] with smoke [2586] from [1537] the glory [1391] of God [2316], and [2532] from [1537] his [846] power [1411]; and [2532] no man [3762] was able [1410] to enter [1525] into [1519] the temple [3485], till [891] the seven [2033] plagues [4127] of the seven [2033] angels [32] were fulfilled [5055].
7 But [235] in [1722] the days [2250] of the voice [5456] of the seventh [1442] angel [32], when [3752] he shall begin [3195] to sound [4537], [2532] the mystery [3466] of God [2316] should be finished [5055], as [5613] he hath declared [2097] to his [1438] servants [1401] the prophets [4396].
18 For [1063] I testify [4828] unto every man [3956] that heareth [191] the words [3056] of the prophecy [4394] of this [5127] book [975], If [1437] any man [5100] shall add [2007] unto [4314] these things [5023], God [2316] shall add [2007] unto [1909] him [846] the plagues [4127] that are written [1125] in [1722] this [5129] book [975]:
9 And [2532] there came [2064] unto [4314] me [3165] one of [1520] the seven [2033] angels [32] which [3588] had [2192] the seven [2033] vials [5357] full [1073] of the seven [2033] last [2078] plagues [4127], and [2532] talked [2980] with [3326] me [1700], saying [3004], Come hither [1204], I will shew [1166] thee [4671] the bride [3565], the Lamb's [721] wife [1135].
8 Therefore [5124] [1223] shall [2240] her [846] plagues [4127] come [2240] in [1722] one [3391] day [2250], death [2288], and [2532] mourning [3997], and [2532] famine [3042]; and [2532] she shall be utterly burned [2618] with [1722] fire [4442]: for [3754] strong [2478] is the Lord [2962] God [2316] who [3588] judgeth [2919] her [846].
4 And [2532] I heard [191] another [243] voice [5456] from [1537] heaven [3772], saying [3004], Come [1831] out of [1537] her [846], my [3450] people [2992], that [3363] ye be [4790] not [3363] partakers [4790] of her [846] sins [266], and [2532] that [3363] ye receive [2983] not [3363] of [1537] her [846] plagues [4127].
21 And [2532] there fell [2597] upon [1909] men [444] a great [3173] hail [5464] out of [1537] heaven [3772], every stone about [5613] the weight of a talent [5006]: and [2532] men [444] blasphemed [987] God [2316] because of [1537] the plague [4127] of the hail [5464]; for [3754] the plague [4127] thereof [846] was [2076] exceeding [4970] great [3173].
9 And [2532] men [444] were scorched [2739] with great [3173] heat [2738], and [2532] blasphemed [987] the name [3686] of God [2316], which [3588] hath [2192] power [1849] over [1909] these [5025] plagues [4127]: and [2532] they repented [3340] not [3756] to give [1325] him [846] glory [1391].
8 And [2532] the temple [3485] was filled [1072] with smoke [2586] from [1537] the glory [1391] of God [2316], and [2532] from [1537] his [846] power [1411]; and [2532] no man [3762] was able [1410] to enter [1525] into [1519] the temple [3485], till [891] the seven [2033] plagues [4127] of the seven [2033] angels [32] were fulfilled [5055].
6 And [2532] the seven [2033] angels [32] came [1831] out of [1537] the temple [3485], having [2192] the seven [2033] plagues [4127], clothed [1746] in pure [2513] and [2532] white [2986] linen [3043], and [2532] having their breasts [4738] girded [4024] with [4012] golden [5552] girdles [2223].
1 And [2532] I saw [1492] another [243] sign [4592] in [1722] heaven [3772], great [3173] and [2532] marvellous [2298], seven [2033] angels [32] having [2192] the seven [2033] last [2078] plagues [4127]; for [3754] in [1722] them [846] is filled up [5055] the wrath [2372] of God [2316].
6 These [3778] have [2192] power [1849] to shut [2808] heaven [3772], that [3363] it rain [1026] [5205] not [3363] in [1722] the days [2250] of their [846] prophecy [4394]: and [2532] have [2192] power [1849] over [1909] waters [5204] to turn [4762] them [846] to [1519] blood [129], and [2532] to smite [3960] the earth [1093] with all [3956] plagues [4127], as often [3740] as [1437] they will [2309].
20 And [2532] the rest [3062] of the men [444] which [3739] were [615] not [3756] killed [615] by [1722] these [5025] plagues [4127] yet [3777] repented [3340] not [3777] of [1537] the works [2041] of their [846] hands [5495], that [3363] they should [4352] not [3363] worship [4352] devils [1140], and [2532] idols [1497] of gold [5552], and [2532] silver [693], and [2532] brass [5470], and [2532] stone [3035], and [2532] of wood [3585]: which [3739] neither [3777] can [1410] see [991], nor [3777] hear [191], nor [3777] walk [4043]:
14 And [2532] deceiveth [4105] them that dwell [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093] by [1223] the means of those miracles [4592] which [3739] he [846] had power [1325] to do [4160] in the sight [1799] of the beast [2342]; saying [3004] to them that dwell [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093], that they should make [4160] an image [1504] to the beast [2342], which [3739] had [2192] the wound [4127] by a sword [3162], and [2532] did live [2198].
12 And [2532] he exerciseth [4160] all [3956] the power [1849] of the first [4413] beast [2342] before [1799] him [846], and [2532] causeth [4160] the earth [1093] and [2532] them which dwell [2730] therein [1722] [846] to [2443] worship [4352] the first [4413] beast [2342], whose [3739] [846] deadly [2288] wound [4127] was healed [2323].
3 And [2532] I saw [1492] one [3391] of his [846] heads [2776] as it were [5613] wounded [4969] to [1519] death [2288]; and [2532] his [846] deadly [2288] wound [4127] was healed [2323]: and [2532] all [3650] the world [1093] wondered [2296] [2296] after [3694] [1722] the beast [2342].
23 Are they [1526] ministers [1249] of Christ [5547]? (I speak [2980] as a fool [3912] I [1473] am more [5228]; in [1722] labours [2873] more abundant [4056], in [1722] stripes [4127] above measure [5234], in [1722] prisons [5438] more frequent [4056], in [1722] deaths [2288] oft [4178].
5 In [1722] stripes [4127], in [1722] imprisonments [5438], in [1722] tumults [181], in [1722] labours [2873], in [1722] watchings [70], in [1722] fastings [3521];
33 And [2532] he took [3880] them [846] [1722] the same [1565] hour [5610] of the night [3571], and washed [3068] their stripes [575] [4127]; and [2532] was baptized [907], he [846] and [2532] all [3956] his [846], straightway [3916].
23 And [5037] when they had laid [2007] many [4183] stripes [4127] upon them [846], they cast [906] them into [1519] prison [5438], charging [3853] the jailor [1200] to keep [5083] them [846] safely [806]:
48 But [1161] he that knew [1097] not [3361], and [1161] did commit [4160] things worthy [514] of stripes [4127], shall be beaten [1194] with few [3641] stripes. For [1161] unto whomsoever [3739] [3956] much [4183] is given [1325], of [3844] him [846] shall be much [4183] required [2212]: and [2532] to whom men [3739] have committed [3908] much [4183], of him [846] they will ask [154] the more [4055].
4 John [2491] to the seven [2033] churches [1577] which [3588] are in [1722] Asia [773]: Grace [5485] be unto you [5213], and [2532] peace [1515], from [575] him which [3588] is [5607] [3801], and [2532] which [3588] was [2258] [3801], and [2532] which [3588] is to come [2064] [3801]; and [2532] from [575] the seven [2033] Spirits [4151] which [3739] are [2076] before [1799] his [846] throne [2362];
17 And [2532] another [243] angel [32] came [1831] out of [1537] the temple [3485] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772], he [846] also [2532] having [2192] a sharp [3691] sickle [1407].
13 And [2532] I heard [191] a voice [5456] from [1537] heaven [3772] saying [3004] unto me [3427], Write [1125], Blessed [3107] are the dead [3498] which [3588] die [599] in [1722] the Lord [2962] from henceforth [534]: Yea [3483], saith [3004] the Spirit [4151], that [2443] they may rest [373] from [1537] their [846] labours [2873]; and [1161] their [846] works [2041] do follow [190] [3326] them [846].
14 And [2532] I looked [1492], and [2532] behold [2400] a white [3022] cloud [3507], and [2532] upon [1909] the cloud [3507] one sat [2521] like [3664] unto the Son [5207] of man [444], having [2192] on [1909] his [846] head [2776] a golden [5552] crown [4735], and [2532] in [1722] his [846] hand [5495] a sharp [3691] sickle [1407].
6 And [2532] I saw [1492] another [243] angel [32] fly [4072] in [1722] the midst of heaven [3321], having [2192] the everlasting [166] gospel [2098] to preach [2097] unto them that dwell [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093], and [2532] to every [3956] nation [1484], and [2532] kindred [5443], and [2532] tongue [1100], and [2532] people [2992],
1 And [2532] I looked [1492], and [2532], lo [2400], a Lamb [721] stood [2476] on [1909] the mount [3735] Sion [4622], and [2532] with [3326] him [846] an hundred [1540] forty [5062] and four [5064] thousand [5505], having [2192] his [846] Father's [3962] name [3686] written [1125] in [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359].
1 And [2532] there appeared [3700] a great [3173] wonder [4592] in [1722] heaven [3772]; a woman [1135] clothed [4016] with the sun [2246], and [2532] the moon [4582] under [5270] her [846] feet [4228], and [2532] upon [1909] her [846] head [2776] a crown [4735] of twelve [1427] stars [792]:
19 And [2532] the temple [3485] of God [2316] was opened [455] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] there was seen [3700] in [1722] his [846] temple [3485] the ark [2787] of his [846] testament [1242]: and [2532] there were [1096] lightnings [796], and [2532] voices [5456], and [2532] thunderings [1027], and [2532] an earthquake [4578], and [2532] great [3173] hail [5464].
1 And [2532] there appeared [3700] a great [3173] wonder [4592] in [1722] heaven [3772]; a woman [1135] clothed [4016] with the sun [2246], and [2532] the moon [4582] under [5270] her [846] feet [4228], and [2532] upon [1909] her [846] head [2776] a crown [4735] of twelve [1427] stars [792]:
20 And [2532] the beast [2342] was taken [4084], and [2532] with [3326] him [5127] the false prophet [5578] that wrought [4160] miracles [4592] before [1799] him [846], with [1722] which [3739] he deceived [4105] them that had received [2983] the mark [5480] of the beast [2342], and [2532] them that worshipped [4352] his [846] image [1504]. These both [1417] were cast [906] alive [2198] into [1519] a lake [3041] of fire [4442] burning [2545] with [1722] brimstone [2303].
14 For [1063] they are [1526] the spirits [4151] of devils [1142], working [4160] miracles [4592], which go forth [1607] [3739] [1607] unto [1909] the kings [935] of the earth [1093] and [2532] of the whole [3650] world [3625], to gather [4863] them [846] to [1519] the battle [4171] of that [1565] great [3173] day [2250] of God [2316] Almighty [3841].
14 And [2532] deceiveth [4105] them that dwell [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093] by [1223] the means of those miracles [4592] which [3739] he [846] had power [1325] to do [4160] in the sight [1799] of the beast [2342]; saying [3004] to them that dwell [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093], that they should make [4160] an image [1504] to the beast [2342], which [3739] had [2192] the wound [4127] by a sword [3162], and [2532] did live [2198].
13 And [2532] he doeth [4160] great [3173] wonders [4592], so [2532] that [2443] he maketh [4160] fire [4442] come down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772] on [1519] the earth [1093] in the sight [1799] of men [444],
3 And [2532] there appeared [3700] another [243] wonder [4592] in [1722] heaven [3772]; and [2532] behold [2400] a great [3173] red [4450] dragon [1404], having [2192] seven [2033] heads [2776] and [2532] ten [1176] horns [2768], and [2532] seven [2033] crowns [1238] upon [1909] his [846] heads [2776].
1 And [2532] there appeared [3700] a great [3173] wonder [4592] in [1722] heaven [3772]; a woman [1135] clothed [4016] with the sun [2246], and [2532] the moon [4582] under [5270] her [846] feet [4228], and [2532] upon [1909] her [846] head [2776] a crown [4735] of twelve [1427] stars [792]:
4 Being made [1096] so much [5118] better than [2909] the angels [32], as [3745] he hath by inheritance obtained [2816] a more excellent [1313] name [3686] than [3844] they [846].
30 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answering [5274] said [2036], A certain [5100] man [444] went down [2597] from [575] Jerusalem [2419] to [1519] Jericho [2410], and [2532] fell among [4045] thieves [3027], which [3739] [2532] stripped [1562] him [846] of his raiment [1562], and [2532] wounded [4127] [2007] him, and departed [565], leaving [863] him half dead [2253] [5177].
10 For [1063] he had healed [2323] many [4183]; insomuch that [5620] they pressed upon [1968] him [846] for to [2443] touch [680] him [846], as many as [3745] had [2192] plagues [3148].
15 And [2532] whosoever [1536] was [2147] not [3756] found [2147] written [1125] in [1722] the book [976] of life [2222] was cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442].
22 Thus saith [0559] thy Lord [0113] the LORD [03068], and thy God [0430] that pleadeth [07378] the cause of his people [05971], Behold, I have taken out [03947] of thine hand [03027] the cup [03563] of trembling [08653], even the dregs [06907] of the cup [03563] of my fury [02534]; thou shalt no more [03254] drink it again [08354]:
17 Awake [05782], awake [05782], stand up [06965], O Jerusalem [03389], which hast drunk [08354] at the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] the cup [03563] of his fury [02534]; thou hast drunken [08354] the dregs [06907] of the cup [03563] of trembling [08653], and wrung them out [04680].
