Revelation 15:7-8 (KJV)
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.
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.
The Tribulation period is literal and future. That said, much of what is written in the book of the Revelation is typical. It has to be. How else would John describe what he was seeing, having never seen anything like it in his world before? God uses the typical to describe the literal so that people of any age and culture might benefit from it.
We have seven angels with the seven “last plagues.” I am glad they are the last plagues. There is an end to the Tribulation!
The Bible says the seven angels are then given seven vials filled with the wrath of God. I note:
They are dressed in clothing pure and white.
Their work is pure and holy, though not pleasant.
They have a golden girdle.
Their work is just and right, coming from the throne of God.
They have vials filled with the wrath of God.
A vial is a measured amount. It is terrible, but it is carefully measured, purposeful, and leads to a conclusion.
Their files contain the wrath of God.
This is not the judgment of men, but of God.
We must never fear what men may do to us. All men ought to fear the One who has power to send the soul to hell forever. Such fear, when turned to trust, becomes love of such a depth that one cannot describe it.

Seven Golden Vials and the Justice of God: The Wrath of God in the Revelation Should Lead Us to Trust Him
Have you ever considered why God describes His wrath as being poured from measured vials rather than unleashed without restraint? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Leave a comment below and join the conversation.
