People's Commentary (NT)
Revelation 15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke . . . and no man was able to enter into the temple. Does this mean that the heavens are shut against man during this period? Does it mean that no one can enter the true Church until the plagues are poured out? So some have mistakenly maintained. The doors of the kingdom were opened on Pentecost, and will never be closed until the marriage supper of the Lamb. The true meaning is plain. The place of intercession has just been seen. The seven "wrath" angels came forth. The smoke then fills the temple so that no one can approach the place of intercession. The Greek original says "no one", instead of "no man". It means that the Divine purpose is fixed; the wrath angels "shall" pour out their vials, "there is no place longer given for intercession" to prevent the just judgments of God. The time of intercession has passed by, and the time for judgment has come. "No one can enter the temple" to the tabernacle of testimony, the place of intercession, to avert these judgments "till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled".
