Revelation 15 Quiz Questions and Answers
View Answer
Answer 1: A: In the seven last plagues is filled up the wrath of God. D (the age of wrath) uses similar language but is not what the plagues fill up.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:1, “for in them is filled up the wrath of God.”

Answer 2: B: The angels were clothed in pure and white linen. C (scarlet) echoes the scarlet beast of chapter seventeen and the harlot’s garments, making it a plausible cross-chapter trap for students who conflate the clothing of different figures in Revelation.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:6, “clothed in pure and white linen.”

Answer 3: E: The victors sang both the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb. A alone or C alone would capture only half the answer. B (Song of Zion) and D (Song of David) are real scriptural songs but neither is named in verse three.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:3, “And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb.”

Answer 4: C: They stood on the sea of glass. D (in the holy temple) is a strong trap because verse five opens the temple shortly after, and the temple is central to this chapter. But the victors stood on the sea of glass, not inside the temple.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:2, “and them that had gotten the victory over the beast…stand on the sea of glass.”

Answer 5: A: The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power. B (wrath and fire) is the strongest trap: wrath is the chapter’s dominant theme, but the smoke is attributed specifically to glory and power, not wrath.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:8, “And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power.”

Answer 6: D: One of the four beasts gave the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God. The compound B (A and C) fails because both silver cups and bronze bowls are absent from the text. The material is gold and the vessel is a vial, not a cup or bowl.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:7, “And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God.”
View Answer
Answer 7: B: The temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. E (the inner sanctuary) names a real component of the earthly tabernacle but is not the specific thing described as opening in verse five.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:5, “the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.”

Answer 8: A: The song declares that God’s works are great and marvellous. The other paired adjectives here are all genuinely biblical descriptions of God but none is the pairing the song uses for his works in verse three.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:3, “Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty.”
View Answer
Answer 9: E: They had the harps of God. A (lyres of gold) substitutes a similar stringed instrument for the correct one. B (trumpets of brass) draws on the trumpet imagery of the preceding chapters but is not what the victors held in chapter fifteen.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:2, “having the harps of God.”
View Answer
Answer 10: C: All nations shall come and worship before thee. A (bow and tremble) combines two genuine biblical responses to divine holiness but is not the pairing the verse uses. D (fear and serve) captures part of the passage’s spirit but substitutes serve for worship.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:4, “for all nations shall come and worship before thee.”

Answer 11: A: The song declares God’s ways to be just and true. D (high and holy) borrows from other doxological passages in scripture but is not the pairing verse three uses for his ways. Note that his works (verse three) are great and marvellous, while his ways are just and true: two different pairings from the same verse.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:3, “Just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.”

Answer 12: E: The victors had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name. His image is explicitly named in verse two. Power, armies, angels, and throne do not appear in the list.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:2, “them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name.”

Answer 13: B: One of the four beasts gave the angels the seven golden vials. C (one of the four elders) substitutes elders for beasts, exploiting the fact that both the four beasts and the twenty-four elders appear in the throne room scenes of Revelation.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:7, “And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials.”
View Answer
Answer 14: A: Their breasts were girded with golden girdles. E (linen bands) is drawn from the same verse, which describes the angels as clothed in linen. A student who merges the clothing with the girding will select E rather than A.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:6, “having their breasts girded with golden girdles.”
View Answer
Answer 15: E: The song declares that God alone is holy. A (just) is the sharpest trap: just appears in the same verse, but it describes his ways, not a quality God is declared to possess uniquely. The word holy belongs to the specific claim about what he alone is.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:4, “for thou only art holy.”

Answer 16: D: No man was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. C (until the smoke cleared) is the closest trap: the smoke itself is what made entry impossible, but the verse defines the endpoint as the completion of the plagues, not the clearing of the smoke.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:8, “and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.”

Answer 17: B: The sea of glass was mingled with fire. In chapter four the sea of glass appears without fire; here in chapter fifteen it is mingled with fire, marking the shift from the throne room at rest to the threshold of final judgment.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:2, “And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire.”
View Answer
Answer 18: C: The song declares that God’s judgments are made manifest. A (long delayed) directly contradicts the verse. B (soon completed) reads the chapter’s urgency back into the song but is not what verse four says about his judgments.
KJV Reference: Revelation 15:4, “for thy judgments are made manifest.”
