After that I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle In which was the ark of the testimony in heaven, was opened Namely, the most holy place, disclosing a new theatre for the coming forth of the judgments of God, now made manifest. And the seven angels came out of the temple From the immediate presence of God, to denote that their commission was immediately from him; having the seven plagues Already mentioned; clothed Like the high-priest, but in a more august manner; in pure and white linen To signify the righteousness of these judgments; and having their breasts girded To show their readiness to execute the divine commands; with golden girdles As emblems of their power and majesty. And one of the four living creatures The representatives of the church; gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials Bowls, or censers; the Greek word signifies vessels broader at the top than at the bottom; full of the wrath of God By which it is intimated that it is in vindication of the church and true religion that these plagues are inflicted; who liveth for ever and ever A circumstance which adds greatly to the dreadfulness of his wrath, and the value of his favour; and that he is to be regarded as the most formidable enemy, as well as the most desirable friend, to immortal beings.
