“And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:”
After this I looked, and I saw in heaven the temple - that is, the tabernacle of the covenant law - and it was opened - the heavenly tabernacle, containing the ark of the covenant and God's law, opens to reveal the source of judgment. The opening of the sanctuary signals that God's judicial authority is about to execute justice.
Church Fathers on Revelation 15:5
“Standing upon the sea of glass, having harps.” That is, that they stood steadfastly in the faith upon their baptism, and having their confession in their mouth, that they shall exult in the kingdom before God. But let us return to what is set before us.
