"And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God" (Rev. 15:1).
"And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever" (Rev. 15:7).
Revelation 15 is preparing us for what happens in chapter 16. Christians were being shown that their persecutors would be punished and they would gain the victory. God will only put up with so much (Gen. 6:3). God's longsuffering doesn't last forever (1 Pet. 3:20). "But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full" (Gen. 15:16). The point is: God will punish those who trouble His people (2 Thess. 1:7-9). When His wrath is poured out, look out.
