“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.”
I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues - in them is completed the wrath of God - the seven final plagues bring God's wrath to its completion and fulfillment. These plagues echo the ten plagues of Egypt and signal the final judgment upon the beast's kingdom.
Church Fathers on Revelation 15:1
“And I saw another great and wonderful sign, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is completed the indignation of God.” For the wrath of God always strikes the obstinate people with seven plagues, that is, perfectly, as it is said in Leviticus; and these shall be in the last time, when the Church shall have gone out of the midst.
