Who are these angels John sees God’s temple?

Revelation 15:6 (ESV)

6 and out of the sanctuary came the seven angels with the seven plagues, clothed in pure, bright linen, with golden sashes around their chests.

The angels John now sees exiting the sanctuary are “the” seven angels John had first mentioned in Revelation 15:1, the ones holding the seven plagues.
