Notes

Revelation 15:4

Who will not fear … and glorify Your name?: This rhetorical question (see Jeremiah 10:7) suggests that only a fool would fail to do so (see Revelation 14:7; 16:9; Psalms 14:1; 53:1).
You alone are holy: See Revelation 16:5; Leviticus 11:44; 1 Peter 1:16. God's holiness is the reason for our worship and salvation.
All nations will come and worship: Some will be forced to acknowledge God (compare Philippians 2:10–11), but all will recognize that God's deeds and judgments are revealed, righteous, and just.

Revelation 15:3–4

The song of Moses and the Lamb shows that God’s purposes in the old covenant (God’s earlier promise and relationship with his people) and the new covenant (his promise through Jesus) are united and work together.

Revelation 15:1–16:21

The third and final cycle of seven judgments (see study note on Revelation 6:1–16:21) begins with a vision of God's victorious people singing a hymn of praise (Revelation 15:2–4). Then, a scene of the temple appears (Revelation 15:5–8), where angels come out carrying the bowls of God's judgment for the earth (16:1–21).
