                                       Chapter 15 – The Seven Last Plagues
                   God’s People Remembered. — In this scene


               the  people  of  God  are  not  forgotten.  The


               prophet  is  permitted  to  anticipate  a  little  in


               verses 2-4, and behold them as victors upon

               saints are taken to heaven to receive a portion


               of  their  reward.  Thus,  like  the  bright  sun


               bursting  through  the  midnight  cloud,  some
