Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood
Revelation 16:3 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.
The sea represents all of humanity, specifically those who live by the flesh. They live by what the body craves and it is no wonder that at this particular time in history, the sea of humanity has moved toward a fully depraved state. Perversion is widespread and morals have been thrown out the window. Lawyers and politicians have managed to redefine the laws of the land to support their immoral agendas. Society has been on a collision course with judgment for some time. The sacredness of marriage as defined by FATHER, Our CREATOR, has been defiled. redefined, and its new manmade definition is condoned by the courts of men.
Blood in one respect represent “life” but when it has its life-giving properties removed, death comes forth. “Blood as of a dead man” has had those properties taken away and thus every living creature in the “sea of humanity” died. They are now spiritually dead but the good news is that death of the flesh brings forth life through resurrection. FATHER’S Love is not so weak that it cannot overcome the multitude of sin found among this group. The Blood (Love) of Jesus Christ is sufficient to deliver all of mankind from certain death. Judgment must expose that which prevents Love from coming forth.
This second bowl is to bring about restoration of all mankind but first this group must be judged and cleansed of its flesh. This judgment brings forth a removal of power and authority of those who have been in control of the current world system. On a personal level, people will have their sin exposed and it will no longer hide in the depths of their fleshly nature. Hidden agendas will be revealed and Truth will stand as the judge.
The Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood
Revelation 16:4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. 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.
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.”
The Spirit of FATHER and the Living Word of FATHER represent life-giving rivers and springs. In contrast, man’s corruptible words and worldly wisdom make up the rivers and springs of water that are to be judged. Their agendas brought forth death to the saints and prophets. Man’s philosophies originate out of their souls to promote the path of death and destruction. Anyone who challenges their agendas is dealt with accordingly. Lies and deceit are found among those who are being judged by this bowl and their words become their judge. James chapter 3 warns us of the tongue:
8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.
11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?
12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.
Jesus spoke to us specifically about the words coming forth out of our mouths in Matthew 12:
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.
34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Love will judge the intent and words of mankind and the waters will be turned to blood. They will either contain life or death depending on the intent. The Divine Intent of Love brings forth blood with life flowing in it. The soulish and fleshly nature of man has no life in the blood and righteous judgment will expose it for what it is. The Law of equal weights and measures will prevail.
