Revelation15:6
6 And the seven angels came out of the temple , having the seven plagues , cloathed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles .
The seven Ministers of Gods Vengeance on Antichrist, to whom the Vials were given.
That is, out of the Tabernacle of the Testimony; for in Moses his Tabernacle there was only this inward Court for the Priests, (the People worshipped without) They came (as the High-Priest was wont) out of the Oracle to bring God's Answer to all his Saints Prayers.
The Answer was seven Plagues, that is, that God had imployed them to bring seven Plagues successively upon the Antichristian Party, and all the Enemies of his Church, till by them they should be consumed.
These Angels came in the Habit of High-Priests, when they went in to inquire of God, or came out with an Answer from God.
