Revelation 5:8 (a) These golden receptacles are evidently pictures of the value our Lord places upon the worship and the prayers which ascend to GOD from the hearts of His children. None of the prayers are lost. They are kept as valuable treasures.

Revelation 15:7 (a) These golden receptacles contain GOD's wrath. The lesson we learn is that the wrath of GOD is just as precious and valuable as His mercy and grace. We give just as much honor to the judge who properly punishes the guilty as we give when the innocent is set free. His wrath is preserved as a treasure in the golden casket. This wrath is poured out in the next chapter, verses Revelation 16:1-2. (See also Revelation 17:1).
