Verse 5
"After these things I looked" (Gr. meta tauta eidon) indicates a transition to a new vision and a new subject: the bowl judgments. These are in a category of their own. John saw the heavenly temple opened. This gave the seven angels who carried the bowl judgments egress from God’s presence. He is the one who sends them. The "tabernacle of testimony" refers to the temple as the building that housed God’s law, which the earth-dwellers disregard. God was now going to hold them to it and judge them by it.
