I am always trying to tie scripture to our earthly life. The sea of glass mingled with fire reminds me of the dance floors of early disco. and there was music of harps...

Did glass exist when John was given this Revelation ? I know we have a Greek brother on here , perhaps he could tell us the literal interpretation of the word glass in Revelation .

Sea of Glass means "purity", mingled with "fire" is a cleansing; for them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over

his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having ... harps of God, WE WIN.

It's the last plagues the seven angels had filled up with the wrath of God;

Yes dear Delilah, it says glass mixed with fire in the prototype text. Glass had been invented many centuaries BC and Romans at that ime could manufacture very clean and transparent glassy objects.

Oh wow , I didn't realise that , thank you .

Oh, there are discos in Heaven, at least in my section-a very classy time...

Ralph,

That is actually a funny connection. I remember those disco balls. Glad that was short lived!
