“And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.”
Revelation 16:1 KJV
John writes that he heard the sound of a loud voice coming out of the seven angels to pour out upon the earth, the weight of the passion of God which had been loaded onto the golden fire-pans they received from the brazen altar of sacrifice. On the day of atonement, once a year, the high priest took the fire from the great altar in a golden censer and when he came down from the altar, he took incense from one of the priests and went with it to the golden altar and offered it. This symbolised the Cross and the Lamb of God dying mankind’s death. The obstinate slave-mindset of the earth-dwellers is addressed in this judgment to overcome and persuade every individual to awaken them out of slumber to see the triumph of the Lamb in their behalf. The consuming fire of God’s wrath on the Lamb of God on mankind’s behalf, is what sanctifies us. God took His punishment on Himself to makes us His own. Worthy is the Lamb!
