Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 15:8

8 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 .

That is, the Church (as Temple most ordinarily signifieth in this Book.)

By Smoke, doubtless, is meant Confusions and Troubles,

caused by God's glorious Manifestation of his Power, in bringing Antichrist to ruine, who had so twisted his Interest with that of the Civil Magistracy in several Kingdoms, that there was no rooting him out, without a terrible shaking of all those parts of the Earth where he set his Foot,

so as no part of the Church could be at Rest until God had fulfilled his Ruine by these Plagues: nor must any quiet state of the Church be expected, until this great Work be effected:
