What does Revelation 15:1 mean?

John sees another awesome sight in heaven. It was another sign that John described as "great and amazing." In Revelation 12 he saw two signs: the sign of the woman, representing persecuted Israel, and the sign of the dragon, representing Satan. The sign of the woman concerns God's protection and preservation of His persecuted people until the end of the tribulation. The sign of the dragon concerns God's bitter foe, the Devil, who spews his hatred against the woman.

The angels of this verse represent God's agents who execute His wrath at the end of the conflict between the Devil and God's persecuted people. They carry out God's final vengeance at the close of the tribulation, "for with them the wrath of God is finished." God's judgment may not always fall on sin immediately, but it will fall inevitably. When it falls, there will be no further opportunity to repent and avoid it.
