REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty One - The Angels WIth the Bowls -Conclusion

 These angels are well qualified for this work.  They are cloth ed with clean, bright, linen, showing that they are spiritually clean and holy, righteous in Jehovah's sight. Also, they wear golden girdles.  Girdles are usually  used  when a person girds himself for a task to be accomplished. (Leviticus 8:7, 13; 1 Samuel 2:18;  Luke 12:37; John 13:4, 5)  So the angels are girded for carrying out and assigment.  Moreover, their girdles are golden.  In the ancient tabernacle. gold was used to represent divine, heavenly things. (Hebrews 9:4, 11, 12) That means that these angels have a precious, divine commission of service to peform.  Others too are involved in this great task. One of the four living creatures hands hte actually bowls to them.  Doubtless, this was the first living creaturee, which resembled a lion, symbolizing the boldness and indomitable, courage needed to proclaim Jehvoah's judgments. - REVELATION 4:7.
