Revelation 15:5
And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

Then John looked and saw and behold the congregation of the testimony in heaven was open.

Revelation 15:6
And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

Then John saw seven angels clothed with pure and clean white garments. They had a golden girdle on which was the same thing that Jesus wore. They also had the seven plagues.

Now let us take a look at an example of a girdle that the Lord mentions in The Word. Just so that you understand about a girdle, it is more like a belt to us. They wraped it around their waste and carried things in it. Things like scrolls, money, weapons, what you carried depended on who you were and what you did for a living.

Jer 13:1
1 Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.

The Lord is speaking to the prophet Jeremiah and he wants him to show the people of Israel something. He tells him to go and get a linen girdle, which is to be worn by the priesthood, they are the teachers of the people. The Lord tells him to put it on and not to wash it, just wear it.
2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins.

So Jeremiah did what the Lord told him to do. He did not question the Lord, that is what we need to do. If the Lord tells us to do something in the Word, do not question it just do it.

3 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying,

Then after he did what he was told the Lord told him the next thing he needed to do.

4 Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

The told Jeremiah take that girdle that you have been wearing without washing it, and go to the Euphrates and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.

So Jeremiah did what he was told and hid the girdle by the Euphrates.

6 And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.

Then the Lord after a long time told Jeremiah to go and get the girdle from where it was hid. The one I told you to hide over there.

7 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.

So Jeremiah went and had to dig to get the girdle from where he hid it. He looked at it and it was ruined and it was useless now, after being hidden in the rocks.

8 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

The Lord spoke to Jeremiah again after he had looked at the girdle and saw it was good for nothing.

9 Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

The Lord says to Jeremiah this is what I will do to the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. I will make it perish and be destroyed. They will get rid of their pride, the Father hates pride.

10 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.

The Lord then tells us what they are doing wrong and what pride they have. They will not listen to the Word of God and they do what ever thay think they should do, and they have other gods and follow what they say and they worship them. He tells them that this evil people will be good for nothing, just as the girdle was useless.

11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

Then the Lord tells us the reason he is so mad. It is because His children are suppose to belong to him and they are suppose to have his name and they are suppose to give him glory and praise from others, but they do not listen to him. They make him look bad.

Like it or not, that is the same thing today with the church. The "church" is Israel to the Father and we are his children. People are suppose to look at us and say look at that christian, they are a good person and they are doing what is right. That gives glory to the Father. That is what we are suppose to do, but the "church" today is just as it was back then in Israel.

Are you giving glory to The Father in everything you do in this world? What do others think when they see what you are doing in everyday life? If it is not good, then you need to repent and start giving glory to the Lord, by your actions. You will have to answer for what you have or have not done.

See how the Lord uses examples in the Word to teach us? The Lord is good to us and sometimes we do not even know it. Let us go back to Revelation.

Revelation 15:7

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.

One of the living creatures gave the angels seven golden vials and in these vials is the full punishment of the Lord wrath, which will go on the people on the earth.

Revelation 15:8
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.

God the Father was in the temple and it was closed, until the seven plagues were over. That means during this time no one would be able to get in or out of heaven. No more death or birth, once Satan gets here on earth. We live in a very interesting time look around you in the world and see what is happening. Are you ready for the Antichrist to appear? Will you know what to do? Will you know what your Father wants you to do?
