Revelation 15 & 16 The Bowl Judgments

Satan, the Antichrist, the false prophet and all those who deny or reject Christ will get their come-uppance. Because of God's infinite grace and mercy God's children will be removed from this part of the tribulation. These judgments that are about to happen are the worse yet. Knowing what the unsaved people will be going through should make us want to be more zealous witnesses for Christ. This is God's final judgment that puts an end to the tribulation. The 144,000 and the saved Gentiles will be the ones with the harps singing the song of Moses. It can be found in exodus 15: 1-21. After this John looked up and saw 7 angels with seven bowls proceed from the temple of the Tabernacle which opened in heaven. Then John heard a voice come from the temple telling the seven angels to pour out their bowls of wrath. The voice was Christ who was in charge. The first angels bowl is the same as the 6th plague of Egypt and had the same type of boils. This sore appears on everyone who took the mark of the beast. This sore can be described as worse than cancer and is incurable. The second angels bowl is like the first plague in Egypt only it is not limited to one area or 1/3 of the land but is of the total seas. The third Angel bowl turns the drinking and all fresh water into blood. He declares that God is righteous in His judgments. God is righteous and holy in all that He does. Those who are being judged made martyrs of God's people and now God is making them drink the blood for the blood they spilled. Those that cried out from the altar in revelation 6: 9-11 are now getting their prayers answered. The 4th angels bowl poured out and scorched men with fire and still no one repented of their sins The 5th Angel bowl is like the 9th plague of Egypt only this heat is hotter, and the light will turn Into darkness. This will happen to the anti-Christ and his Kingdom. Joel 2:1-2. this will be so painful they will chew their tongues. The 6th angel bowl dried up the river Euphrates. This erases the border between the east and the West. Between the Hebrew nation and the Roman Empire. Then John sees unclean spirits come from satan, the anti-Christ, and the false prophet. They are there to attempt to abolish God from the earth. This is the Armageddon. We all know how that turns out. Christ does not come as a thief to His people but as a thief to the wicked. They're not clothed in righteousness. The 7th angels bowl produced a great voice announcing the end of the Armageddon war and the tribulation. It is finished with our great greatest earthquake ever that shakes the entire world. It splits Jerusalem into three parts and moves the islands. The hailstorms come larger than baseballs. As Christ did on the cross he does now. He announces it is done.
