1 Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete.

A. John sees seven angels. These angels have the seven “last plagues.”

B. We are told three important things here.

1. These are the “last” plagues.

2. They are from the wrath of God.

3. They represent the “complete” wrath of God.

C. Again we have seven angels and seven plagues. Since “seven” is the number of divine completeness, the image is presented here to show this is the total, complete, and final wrath of God.
