Revelation 15:7

5 After these things I looked, and¹ behold, ^athe temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.

6 And out of the¹ temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, ^aclothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands.

7 ^aThen one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God ^bwho lives forever and ever.

8 ^aThe temple was filled with smoke ^bfrom the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

vials—"bowls"; a broad shallow cup or bowl. The breadth of the vials in their upper part would tend to cause their contents to pour out all at once, implying the overwhelming suddenness of the woes.

full of . . . wrath—How sweetly do the vials full of odors, that is, the incense-perfumed prayers of the saints, contrast with these!
