Revelation 15:1

The Final Plagues

15:1 Then ¹  I saw another great and astounding sign in heaven: seven angels who have seven final plagues ²  (they are final because in them God’s anger is completed).

Revelation 15:8

15:8 and the temple was filled with smoke from God’s glory and from his power. Thus ³  no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues from the seven angels were completed.

[15:1]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[15:1]  ² tn Grk “seven plagues – the last ones.”

[15:8]  ³ tn Grk “power, and no one.” A new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has been translated as “thus” to indicate the implied result of the temple being filled with smoke.
