1. Those who were put to death for not receiving the nark of the Beast are said to have “Gotten the victory over the Beast”. V-2. See also Revelation 12:11
2. Not a literal sea of glass but “As it were a sea of glass.” The sea of glass represents the multitude of the redeemed, and the fire
(Mingled with fire”) represents the trials they endured in life. See I Peter 1:7.
3. They sang praises to God for delivering them from their enemies and for His holiness. “For only Thou art holy” V-4). Too bad the over-pious, self-righteous, sinless perfectionist all about us can’t see this. All who get to heaven will acknowledge that ONLY GOD IS HOLY.
4. After these plagues are finished, and the destruction of the Beast, all nations shall worship God – this will be during the Millennium.
