Meaning

In the Book of Revelation, the verse "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" signifies the beginning of a series of catastrophic events known as the seven last plagues. Each of the seven angels represents a specific plague that will be unleashed upon the earth as part of God's judgment. The fact that they are described as being clothed in pure and white linen signifies their purity and holiness, while the golden girdles symbolize their authority and power. These angels are set apart from others as messengers of God's wrath, sent to bring about the final judgment on those who have rejected Him. This verse serves as a warning of the impending doom and reinforces the idea that God's justice will prevail in the end.
