6) John sees the tabernacle in heaven. 7 angels with the 7 plagues were dressed in clean linen and gold sashes. One of the four living creatures gives the angels 7 bowls filled with the wrath of God. The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and His power, and no one could enter until the 7 plagues were complete.
7) Exodus tells us that the glory of the Lord fills the tabernacle, so Moses could not enter because of this. 3 Chronicles says the same thing; the priests could not enter the tabernacle because the glory of the Lord/cloud was in it. All these passages say that God’s presence was in the tabernacle.
8 ) I have complete confidence, comfort, and hope in our Lord for my provision, my job, my passion, my career, my novel, and holding my family close to Him. I find immense comfort in the fact that He has it all, and I don’t have to worry about a thing. I know He is in control. This helps me get through each and every day.

I did not know/remember that no one could enter the tabernacle when God’s presence was there. This makes sense since no one can see God.
End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 20, Day 3: Revelation 15:5-8
This is the heavenly tabernacle, which the earthly tabernacle was modeled from Exodus 25:8-9 and Hebrews 8:9
God’s judgment is complete and pure, as indicated by the angels’ clothes.
These bowls are flat, shallow bowls used by the priests for rituals. Here, they hold God’s wrath and judgment against humanity.
God is present always, even in the midst of judgment and despair. And, God’s glory will be revealed in His righteous wrath.
