“And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.”
And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power; and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed - the smoke filling the sanctuary recalls Exodus (at Sinai) and Isaiah's vision of the seraphim. No one may enter until judgment is finished; God's holiness and justice cannot be interrupted.
Church Fathers on Revelation 15:8
“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.
