Exegesis
The main verb eidon {εἶδον | eîdon} ‘I saw’ introduces a new scene, whose object is framed with the comparative particle hōs {ὡς | hōs} ‘as, like’, signaling that what follows is symbolic visionary imagery rather than a literal report.
In context — Revelation 15:2
And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing on the sea of glass, holding harps of God .
