"Then, the Sanctuary of the Tent of Divine Declarations was opened, and the seven angels, bringing the seven plagues, came out of the Sanctuary, clothed in pure and bright linen, with their waists girded with golden belts. One of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden cups, full of the wrath of GOD, who lives for ever and ever. Then, the Sanctuary was filled with smoke that wraps GOD's glory and power, so that no one could enter, until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed." - Revelation 15:5-8
(Here we return to the awaited fall of Rome to see its religious meaning in a more developed form. The seven bowls combine images from the plagues of Egypt and various prophetic texts.
The Tent of Divine Declarations reminds us of the Tent [called: tent of meeting] that was Israel's Sanctuary in the desert.)
