My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 15:2

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 15:2

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.

Revelation 15


The Sea of Glass


(Parenthetical passage, Rev. 15:2-4)


And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. Rev. 15:2

And I saw... This is the 6th parenthetical passage in the book. It explains the destiny of the martyrs of Jesus during the tribulation (Rev. 15:2-4).
mingled... Greek: mignumi, mixed, mingled (Rev. 15:2; 8:7; Mat. 27:34; Luke 13:1).
mingled with fire... The idea here seems to be that of the floor of the great throne room of the heavenly temple being made of transparent glass with the appearance of fire or prismatic colors produced by the glory of God. Out of the throne proceed lightnings which would make prismatic colors flash upon the sea of glass like the aurora borealis (northern lights). God’s heavenly throne sits on a transparent crystal platform or pavement. John was seeing the same crystal platform, but now it was mixed with the fire of God's judgment.
The glory of God eminating from the light in which He dwells will light the whole city and cause the glittering on the sea of glass (Rev. 21:23; 1Tim. 6:16). We see here a "sea of glass". A "sea" symbolizes great numbers of people sometimes. This could be the meaning here. This could also indicate the overcomers who have been baptized.
Rev. 4:6 "And before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, [were] four beasts full of eyes before and behind."


victory over the... All the saints from every nation, including Israel, ultimately triumph over Satan’s Antichrist and his system because of their faith in Jesus Christ.
The victory over the beast has been won through faith in Christ and refusal to submit to the Antichrist. These are the Tribulation Martyrs who are rejoicing over the victory they have won. The harps indicate they are rejoicing and singing praise to God. These believers are rejoicing because their prayers for God's vengeance on their persecutors are about to be answered.
harps of God... All the redeemed will have harps and sing (Rev. 15:2; 5:8; 14:2).
Now we see them standing on this "sea of glass". Every time we Christians see these terrible things, God reassures us of our position with Him. These believers have been up in heaven playing their harps.
Notice here that these still have their "harps".


John also saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire. This is probably the same sea that was described in Rev. 4:6. Beside this sea John saw the martyred dead, the same group described in Rev. 7:9-17.
This “sea of glass” is the same as seen by John when he was first caught up to heaven, Rev. 4:1-6. It is a literal pavement before the throne, like unto crystal mingled with fire. It was unoccupied in Rev. 4, while here it is occupied by the tribulation martyrs.
These saints will have “harps of God” and sing the song of Moses and the Lamb, thus implying that this company will have already been victorious and resurrected. The song of Moses and of the Lamb is one of victory. We do not know the exact words of the song of the Lamb, but we know that its theme is one of victory.
