The Bowls of Wrath

Rev 16:1

Then I heard a loud voice from the [fn]temple, saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

Rev 16:2

So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth; and a harmful and painful sore [fn]afflicted the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.

Rev 16:3

The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living [fn]thing in the sea died.

Rev 16:4

Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood.

Rev 16:5And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “Righteous are You, the One who is and who was, O Holy One, because You judged these things;
Rev 16:6for they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. They [fn]deserve it.”
Rev 16:7And I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.”
Rev 16:8

And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and it was given power to scorch people with fire.

Rev 16:9And the people were scorched with [fn]fierce heat; and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they did not repent so as to give Him glory.
Rev 16:10

And the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues because of pain,

Rev 16:11and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds.
Rev 16:12

The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the [fn]east.

Har-Magedon (Armageddon)

Rev 16:13And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs;
Rev 16:14for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the entire [fn]world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.
Rev 16:15(“Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, so that he will not walk about naked and people will not see his shame.”)
Rev 16:16And they gathered them together to the place which in Hebrew is called Har-Magedon.

The Seventh Bowl of Wrath

Rev 16:17

Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the [fn]temple from the throne, saying, “It is done.”

Rev 16:18And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since mankind came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty.
Rev 16:19The great city [fn]was split into three parts, and the cities of the [fn]nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give her the cup of the wine of [fn]His fierce wrath.
Rev 16:20And every island fled, and no mountains were found.
Rev 16:21And huge [fn]hailstones, weighing about [fn]a talent each, *came down from heaven upon people; and people blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, because [fn]the hailstone plague *was extremely [fn]severe.
