My Sheep
Hear My Voice- Rev. 15:1
Before Jesus was crucified He told the
disciples to watch and pray, something so simple, but they let their
physical bodies take over and they fell back asleep. In these last
hours of time you need to hear His voice. When He tells you
something, it is very important, but most ignore my voice or just
discuss it and go on with what they were doing. You will see many
things start to happen shortly and if you do not hear and obey His
voice,... it will mean death for some of you....Jesus has only your
best interest in mind. Christ knows you heart, and if you are truly
His you will hear His voice. He awakes many of you at 3am on the
dot, but most will roll over and go back to sleep. There are a few
who will get up and pray. Your day is filled with so many things and
Jesus is the last thing many of you give your time to. But Christ
needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you and only when you are
still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the rest of your day is so
busy you do not have time for Him,... but you need to make time, for
time is short and the Lord has instructions for you.

is
filled up...
Greek: teleo,
to complete; bring to an end. Translated "fill up" (Rev.
15:1); "make an end" (Mat. 11:1); "expire" (Rev.
20:7); "go over" (Mat. 10:23); "perform" (Luke
2:39); "pay" (Mat. 17:24; Rom. 13:6); "accomplish"
(Luke 12:50; 18:31; 22:37; John 19:28); "fulfill" (Acts
13:29; Rom. 2:27; Gal. 5:16; Jas. 2:8; Rev. 15:8; 17:17; 20:3); and
"finish" (Mat. 13:53; 19:1; 26:1; John 19:30; 2Tim. 4:7;
Rev. 10:7; 11:7; 20:5).
The
“wrath of God” began with the seven seals (chapter 6), and will
be finished with the “seven last plagues”, which are the seven
vials (verse 7). Chapter 15 is an introduction to these “last
plagues” (see 11:18; 14:10; 16:19; 19:15; compare Rom. 1:18-21).
This
chapter in the book of Revelation sets the stage for the last seven
vial judgments that cover the last three and one-half years of the
Great Tribulation which are described (in Revelation chapter 16).The seven angels prepare to administer the last seven Tribulation judgments of Christ (the seven vials). Vials are actually shallow bowls (these are called the bowl judgments), used for pouring libations (5:8; 1 Chronicles 28:17; Jeremiah 52:18; Zech. 9:15; 14:20). The bowls are full of the wrath of God (2 Thes. 1:7-9). God has the right to judge, because He is the Eternal incense that filled the Holy of Holies in the tabernacle. Until the seven plagues are finished, no one is able to enter into the temple. The time for intercession is past; God's judgment will now be completed.
These plagues are really the wrath of God which occurs the last 3-1/2 years of the seven years of the Great Tribulation.
This "seven" just means this is the end. The wrath of the devil is bad, but to fall into the hands of Almighty God and have His wrath fall on unbelievers is the very worst thing that could happen.
These plagues will conclude with the wrath of God on sinful mankind for rejecting His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
The last seven plagues indicate that these are in order and this finishes the 21 total plagues on mankind before the end of time.
The
seven angels introduced (Rev. 15:1-8)
With
the background of the scene in heaven described in Rev. 14:1-20, John
then recorded more details of God’s judgment. He wrote that he saw
in heaven another great and marvelous sign. Seven angels — each
having a plague which all together were described as the seven last
plagues — were introduced as the final step in the outpouring of
God’s wrath on the earth.
