First Reading for Wednesday of the 34th Week in Ordinary Time II

Revelation 15:1-4

Summary: John sees a vision of angels with the last plagues and those victorious over the beast singing praises to God for his greatness, justice, and holiness, proclaiming his coming glory.

The Song of Victory in Heaven

I, John, saw in heaven another sign, great and awe-inspiring: seven angels with the seven last plagues, for through them God’s fury is accomplished.

Then I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire. On the sea of glass were standing those who had won the victory over the beast and its image and the number that signified its name. They were holding God’s harps, and they sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb:

“Great and wonderful are your works,
Lord God almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
O king of the nations.
Who will not fear you, Lord,
or glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All the nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”
