“And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.”
Out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues; they were dressed in clean, bright linen and wore golden sashes around their chests - the angels emerge as priests clothed in holy garments, bearing the instruments of God's judgment. Their golden sashes (like the risen Christ in Rev 1:13) mark them as bearers of divine authority.
Church Fathers on Revelation 15:6
“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.
