The seven bowls of judgment are now being poured out on the kingdom of the beast!
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 16:
1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.”
2 So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.
Sores are an outward sign of inward corruption.
3 Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.
All living organisms in the sea die.
4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.
Water is no longer potable.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying: “You are righteous, O Lord, The One
Who is and Who was and Who is to be, Because You have judged these things.
We are reminded that these judgments are directly from GOD, The Righteous One!
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.”
7 And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, True and Righteous are Your judgments.”
There will be no viable challenges by the earth-dwellers to justify their lawlessness.
8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.
Those who worshipped the sun are recipients of their own idol worship.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the Name of God Who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.
The inhabitants of the earth continue to be in defiance.
Isaiah prophesied of this time when he recorded by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 5:
18 Woe to those who drag behind them their guilt with ropes made of lies—straining and tugging, harnessed to their bondage!
19 They say, “May God hurry up and bring his judgment so that we can see It once and for all! Let the prophetic plan of the Holy One of Israel quickly come to pass so that we can see what it is!”
20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who replace darkness with light and light with darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and see themselves as clever and shrewd.
10 Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.
All of GOD’S wrath is focused on the throne of the beast. Spiritual darkness is due to the lack of Truth on the earth. Today, the media are clearly agents of the removal of Truth in all areas of society.
11 They blasphemed the God of Heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.
12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.
The river Euphrates is the “cradle” of man’s civilization as well as the “grave” of man’s civilization. This was the eastern boundary of ancient Israel.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Demon spirits have now been released out of the satanic trinity. UFO’s (aliens) have as their origin these three categories of demons, the reptilians being at the forefront of past sightings.
14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Since the Restrainer has been removed, these demons are able to perform “miracles” to provide defiance by the earth dwellers, furthering their hardness of heart.
Suddenly, Jesus speaks:
15 “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”
Jesus is speaking to those in darkness. Their “garments” represent their manner of living.
16 And they (the demonic spirits) gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.
17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud Voice came out of the Temple of Heaven, from the Throne, saying, “It is done!”
18 And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.
19 Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.
20 Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21 And great hail from Heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent (about 60 to 135 pounds). Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.
The punishment for blasphemy was stoning. The seven Epistles of Jesus in chapters 2 & 3 were given to change lives now so that those who repent would not go through this wrath!
