Chapters 6-11 are the judgments on earth before the Messiah comes back to reign. Chapters 12-14 tell about some to be judged in Israel. In chapters 15-16, the judgments extend to other nations. No one will escape judgment.
Verse 2 explains about the Gentiles who would not obey the Beast or have the mark of the Beast, and they would not worship the Beast. Even though they suffered for their faithfulness to God and were killed for their faith, they will be raised from the dead to reign with Christ. That is why they are singing the song of Moses. It is a song of victory over the Beast and their enemies. These martyrs will also sing the song of the Lamb, which is about redemption by the blood of Jesus.
Seven angels appeared wearing white and gold. The white and gold showed that the judgments to come are pure and righteous. A vial is a bowl. Seven golden vials of judgment were given to seven angels. These vials were full of the wrath of the eternal God which would be dumped on all the nations of the earth.
The temple was where the priest entered to intercede to God for the people. Here the temple was filled with the smoke of the glory of God so no man could enter into the temple. No one could intercede for the people who rejected God. The judgments must fall on the world.
