2. 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--15:6. The attire of the seven angels for the execution of the plagues of judgment was described, as “ clothed in pure and white linen” and as having “ golden girdles.” This linen was not ordinary cloth, but was represented in another figure as “ arrayed with precious stone, pure and bright” --they were garments with the composition of solid precious jewels. The golden girdle was like that of the son of man in chapter one. It is the symbolism of the glory and power of the Lord himself, and it signified the unlimited exercise of power to exeaute the will of the Lamb and the judgments of God.
