“And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.”
Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever - the living creatures (symbols of creation and worship) distribute to the angels the bowls of God's accumulated wrath. The bowls represent not arbitrary punishment but the righteous judgment of God who is eternal and holy.
Church Fathers on Revelation 15:7
“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.
