15:1. And I saw another sign. — Seemion, the same word used by our Lord when He said, "Then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man." The proofs of the Lord's Second Advent are here referred to.
In heaven. — Among God's professed people.
Great and marvelous. — Very different in tone and contents from other Bible "helps."

⚫ Jehovah God will completely vindicate his word and his name

John, representing the faithful servant class of the Lord on earth, says: "And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God." (Vs, 1) John had seen two 'great wonders' in heaven (Rev. 12:1,3) and now he sees the third 'wonder'. That third 'wonder' is described as not only great, but "great and marvellous"; and it is even so to God's remnant who now perceive it. They first saw the birth of the kingdom or nation in God's great organization; they saw Satan cast out of heaven, and began to learn of his mighty organization; and now they see the third great 'wonder', which is that Jehovah God will completely vindicate his word and his name, and that this is of the greatest importance. They also see that the remnant on earth can have the privilege of doing a little towards this great work of vindicating the name of Jehovah God. It is "great and marvellous" in the eyes of the remnant.
