Then the seventh angel
The phrase "Then the seventh angel" introduces the final act in a series of divine judgments. The number seven in biblical numerology often signifies completeness or perfection, reflecting God's perfect plan and the culmination of His divine will. The angel, as a messenger of God, signifies the execution of God's final judgment. In the Greek, "angel" (ἄγγελος, angelos) means "messenger," emphasizing the role of angels as divine agents carrying out God's commands.

poured out his bowl
The act of pouring out the bowl symbolizes the release of God's wrath upon the earth. In the context of Revelation, bowls are vessels of judgment, and their pouring out signifies the full measure of divine retribution. The imagery of pouring is reminiscent of Old Testament practices where libations were poured out as offerings, but here it is God's wrath being fully dispensed.

into the air
The air, in ancient cosmology, was considered the realm of spiritual forces and powers. Ephesians 2:2 refers to Satan as the "prince of the power of the air," indicating that this act of judgment directly confronts and overcomes the spiritual forces of evil. The air being the medium of life and breath also signifies that this judgment affects all living beings.

and a loud voice
The "loud voice" signifies authority and power. In biblical literature, a loud voice often accompanies divine pronouncements, ensuring that the message is heard and acknowledged by all creation. This voice is not just any voice but one that commands attention and signifies the gravity of the moment.

came from the throne
The throne is the seat of divine authority and sovereignty. In Revelation, the throne is a central symbol of God's ultimate rule and power. The voice coming from the throne underscores that this declaration is from God Himself, affirming His control over the unfolding events.

in the temple
The temple represents the dwelling place of God, a sacred space where divine presence is manifest. In the heavenly context of Revelation, the temple signifies the ultimate reality of God's presence and the center of divine activity. This setting emphasizes the holiness and righteousness of the judgment being pronounced.

saying, 'It is done!'
The declaration "It is done!" echoes the finality and completion of God's judgment. The Greek word "γέγονεν" (gegonen) conveys a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment. This phrase parallels Jesus' words on the cross, "It is finished" (John 19:30), signifying the completion of God's redemptive work. Here, it marks the end of God's judgment and the ushering in of His eternal kingdom. This statement reassures believers of the certainty of God's promises and the ultimate triumph of His justice and righteousness.

(17) And the seventh . . .--Translate, And the seventh (angel) poured out his vial upon the air, and there came forth a voice out of the temple, from the throne, saying, It is done. The results of the outpouring of this vial are described in the following verses; but before these are seen, the voice from the throne--God's own voice (see Revelation 16:1)--proclaims, as though rejoicing in the near approach of the happy end, "It is done." The close of these scenes of sin and suffering is now at hand, for the last of the last plagues has been sent forth.

Verse 17. - And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air. Omit "angel" as before. Upon the air; perhaps as the typical abode of the spirits of evil (cf. Ephesians 2:2, "the prince of the power of the air"); the seat also, so to speak, of the thunders and lightnings which follow. And there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. There are slight variations in the text here. The best authorities omit "of heaven." One manuscript, א, instead of "throne" inserts τοῦ Θεοῦ, "of God." (On the characteristic great voice, see on Revelation 6:1, etc.) The same voice as in ver. 1, probably that of God himself, as the words, "from the throne," seem also to show. It is noticeable that here, as in the seal visions and trumpet visions, we are not explicitly informed of the nature of the last vision. We have the accompanying circumstances described in ver. 18, which are always attendant on the last great manifestation, but the end itself is left unrecorded. In the seals, the last vision is described by the silence in heaven; in the trumpets, the nature of the last judgment is only vaguely alluded to in the triumphant heavenly song. So here, only a brief summary is given (vers. 18, 19) of what actually falls as the last extremity of God's wrath; a fuller account is reserved for Revelation 19.
