God’s Just Wrath.
Hornets are typically not aggressive toward humans. But all of that changes if you mess with their nest. Not only does their sting carry five times more poison than wasps, but they can also attack multiple times.
Today’s text looks like a hornet’s nest was stirred up. Note that, as mentioned before, this scene is not to be understood chronologically but, rather, as a repeated and expanded version of Revelation 15:1. We have already been introduced to “the seven angels having the seven plagues,” but now we see from where they came. Just like the two angels of the two harvests came out of the temple, so do these angels. God’s judgments are continually determined from the throne room of the sanctuary.
We also learn that the seven angels are clothed in beautiful garments: white linen, a symbol of purity and God’s righteousness (Psalm 51:7; Revelation 19:8), and golden breastplates or bands, another symbol for righteousness (Isaiah 59:17; Ephesians 6:14). The angelic work of pouring out the seven last plagues is done out of a pure and righteous motive, as all God’s judgments are.
These judgments are a mission of destruction, not accidents of nature, not climate change, not the work of men. Furthermore, the wrath of God is not a reactive emotion like human anger. The wrath of God is executed with a purpose, after a studied period of deliberation from the highest court in the universe. Revelation 11:19 shows the beginning of this period, and yesterday’s verse shows the close of this period. The books will have been opened, and the lives of each individual examined thoroughly.
Then, the pre-advent judgment will conclude when every person has been judged either to be a wheat or a tare, a follower of Christ or a follower of the devil. After every case has been decided, then the sentences of the judgment will be carried out—and they begin with the seven last plagues. Thus, once again, we are reminded that by the time the plagues fall, probation will have closed for the human race.
God of justice, thank You for Your prophetic truths, which repeatedly assure me of Your equity in judgment.
