The Book of Revelation #104: Rev 16 THE FIRST FOUR BOWLS OF GOD'S WRATH POURED OUT

Send us Fan MailHaving done the necessary background and contextual setting of the Revelation 15-16 "BOWLS OF GOD'S WRATH", we come in today's episode, to begin to consider the bowls themselves (first 4).   This section is seen  in Revelation 16:1-9:Revelation 16:1  Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.” 2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. 3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing died that was in the sea. 4 The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel in charge of the waters say, “Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was, for you brought these judgments. 6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve!” 7 And I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are your judgments!” 8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. 9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory. If you wish to contact me with any comments, questions, suggestions, etc please feel free to write to my email:  [email protected]
