Temple » Figurative » Sending forth the forces of righteousness against the powers of evil
After that I looked, and the tabernacle of the testimony in the heavenly temple was opened: then the seven angels, who held the seven plagues, came out of the temple, cloathed in pure white linen, wearing upon their breasts girdles of gold. and one of the four animals gave to the seven angels, seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. read more.
the temple was filled with smoke from the emanations of divine power; and no one could enter into the temple, till the seven plagues were executed by the seven angels.

THEN I heard a terrible voice from the temple, crying to the seven angels, "go pour out the VIALS of divine vengeance upon the earth." Immediately the FIRST went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisom and grievous ulcer upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and upon those who worshipped his image. The SECOND angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. read more.
The THIRD angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains; and they became blood. and I heard the angel of the waters say, "thou art just, who art, and hast always been holy, because thou hast judged thus: for they have shed the blood of saints and prophets: thou hast given them blood to drink; for they have deserv'd it." and I heard another from the altar say, "oh! Lord God almighty, true and just are thy judgments." The FOURTH angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given to him to scorch mankind with its fire. and men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who hath power over these plagues: and they repented not, to give him glory. And the FIFTH angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness, and they gnawed their tongues for pain. and blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. And the SIXTH angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. and I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. for they are the spirits of demons working miracles, which make a progress to the kings of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God almighty. "I shall come with surprize, happy he that is upon the watch, and keepeth his garments pure, that his vices may not put him to shame." and he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue, Armageddon. And the SEVENTH angel poured out his vial into the air; and there a loud voice issued from the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "it is done."
The THIRD angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains; and they became blood. and I heard the angel of the waters say, "thou art just, who art, and hast always been holy, because thou hast judged thus: for they have shed the blood of saints and prophets: thou hast given them blood to drink; for they have deserv'd it." and I heard another from the altar say, "oh!

Worship » Those that worship the beast
And a third angel followed them, crying with a loud voice, "if any man worship the beast, or his image, or receive his mark on his forehead, or in his hand, he shall drink of the wine of the divine vengeance, the strongest wine that can be poured out of the cup of his indignation; He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the lamb: the smoke of their torment shall ascend for ever and ever: they who worship the beast or his image, they who receive the mark of his name, shall have no rest either day or night."
THEN I heard a terrible voice from the temple, crying to the seven angels, "go pour out the VIALS of divine vengeance upon the earth." Immediately the FIRST went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisom and grievous ulcer upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and upon those who worshipped his image.
Then I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, with their armies assembled, to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. and the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles in his favour, by which he seduc'd those that had received the mark of the beast, and those that worshipped his image. these were both cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. all the rest were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were satiated with their flesh.
Wrath » The seven vials of wrath
I saw another prodigy in heaven, great and marvellous, SEVEN ANGELS, having the seven last plagues, for by them the divine vengeance is consummated. and I saw as it were a sea of glass, mingled with fire; and those that had been victorious over the beast, and over his image, and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, with their divine harps in their hands. and they sung the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the lamb, saying, "great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou king of ages. read more.
who will not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: and all nations shall come to adore thee; because thy judgments have been display'd." After that I looked, and the tabernacle of the testimony in the heavenly temple was opened: then the seven angels, who held the seven plagues, came out of the temple, cloathed in pure white linen, wearing upon their breasts girdles of gold. and one of the four animals gave to the seven angels, seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. the temple was filled with smoke from the emanations of divine power; and no one could enter into the temple, till the seven plagues were executed by the seven angels.

And the SEVENTH angel poured out his vial into the air; and there a loud voice issued from the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "it is done." and there were voices, thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great. and the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. and every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. and there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a TALENT: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
