1. Revelation 15:7 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What do the seven angels do with the bowls of God’s wrath?

Revelation 15:7 (ESV)

7 And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever,

The question is important because in the tabernacle of the Old Testament Levites had to carry the contents of such bowl to a clean place outside the camp for incineration (Leviticus 4:12). A similar instruction is not given here; in fact, we need to wait till Revelation 16:1 to find out what is to happen to the content of the bowls.
