We've been going through Dr. Godfrey's videos on Revelation in Sunday school. Something that struck me (that he hasn't really touched on) is that there is a temple in heaven. The below verses discuss lightning, etc. coming from it and angels coming and going from it to carry out their business.
Rev. 11:19
Rev. 14:15

Rev. 16:1
Rev. 16:17
I've somewhat assumed that angels interact with God freely in heaven, but it made me think of Matt. 18:10 in which Jesus suggests only certain angels see God face to face. There is a temple in heaven just like there was on earth - to have a sacramental dwelling place for God and to distinguish between the holiness of God and his creatures.
We came to Rev. 21:22 which states the new Jerusalem will not have a temple which, not only do we look forward to, but I'm sure angels do as well.
