Revelations 15:5 After this I looked, and I saw in heaven the temple—that is, the tabernacle of the covenant law—and it was opened. 6 Out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean, shining linen and wore golden sashes around their chests. 7 Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever. 8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
Here is the commentary from amazingdiscoveries.org.
John saw the temple in Heaven open and seven angels came out "having the seven plagues.” God’s glory and power filled the temple and “no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues…were fulfilled.”
The messages of mercy borne by the three angels of Revelation 14 have done their work. The judgement, which began in 1844, is finished and all the saints are sealed. A final and permanent decision has been made by every person. All have either accepted Christ or rejected Him and chosen Satan as lord instead. Probation for mankind has closed. Jesus says, “he that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.” Revelation 22:11.

So the time to decide has passed. The lines are drawn. The sides are picked.
Now... John's back in the boardroom at Jesus' place in Heaven. Seven angels are beginning a task. Then... everyone is told to leave the Temple in Heaven.... and God takes over the helm in the Temple. According to Enduring Word, smoke filled the Temple... just as it did when God was showing Moses how to get to Canaan from Egypt. People couldn't go in the Temple while God was there.
The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power: When the cloud of glory fills the temple in heaven, no one can enter. It was the same when Moses could not enter the Tabernacle when the smoke of the cloud of God’s glory, sometimes called the Shekinah filled the tent (Exodus 40:34-35).
Filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power: Both the bowls and the cloud came from the glory of God and from His power. This is a reminder of God’s special presence and glory, even in the midst of devastating judgment.
No one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed: This declares that judgment was now irreversible. Nothing could hinder it any longer, because access to this temple in heaven would not long be denied.

OK... Recap... In Heaven God has Seven Angels... dressed to show purity, with a purpose of doing God's Bidding.... they've been waiting patiently for everyone to take their places. Jesus has 144,000 people, descendants of the original twelve tribes that left Egypt under the guidance of God Himself to Canaan. The humans have all picked sides. Those who chose Jesus are all marked and removed from earth. The only people left on what is left of earth all chose the dragon stamp. They all think they are right so they don't have to worry... God's got to let them in.... it'll be ok.... that's what they think.
Now.... here comes the Wrath.... He's going to scrub the earth clean.
