Revelation 15:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 And the seven Angels came out of the Temple, which had the [a]seven plagues, clothed in [b]pure and bright linen, and having their breasts [c]girded with golden girdles.
7 And therefore [d]four beasts gave unto the seven Angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God which lived for evermore.
8 And the temple was full of the smoke of the glory of God and of his power, and [e]no man was able to enter into the Temple, till the seven plagues of the seven Angels were fulfilled.
