RAPID FIRE WRATH: Revelation 15:1-2, 8ā
This is one of the saddest points in Scripture!
At the end of Revelation 15, Christ has run out of patience. Thus, there is something new in verse 8. There has always been a glory cloud, but rarely smoke. Smoke showed up on Mount Sinai because the law speaks of judgment, but never in the earthly tabernacle or templeāexcept here, because Godās mercy has ended. The smoke probably indicates that the way to the presence of God is now closed: the way of forgiveness, guidance, cleansing, and blessing is over, and no one henceforth can enter.
Some day soon it will be too late, just as it was in the days of Noah:
Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth ā¦ and He was grieved in His heart. So the Lord said, āI will destroy man whom I have created ā¦, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made themā (Genesis 6:5-7). The smoke in Revelation 15:8 portrays the final outpouring of Godās Tribulational wrath (Rev. 11:18; 14:10; 16:19; 19:15; Romans 1:18-21).
