Revelation 16
21 verses
The first bowl pours out upon the earth, causing a painful and harmful sore to fall upon those who have the mark of the beast and worship its image—judgment targeting specifically the enemies of God. The second, third, fourth, and fifth bowls follow: the sea becomes blood killing every living creature in it; the rivers and springs of water become blood; the sun is given power to scorch people with intense heat; and darkness falls on the beast's throne, causing its subjects to gnaw their tongues in agony yet refuse to repent of their deeds. The sixth bowl dries up the Euphrates to prepare the way for the kings of the east to gather at the place called Armageddon—the final gathering of human powers against God. The seventh bowl is poured into the air, and a great voice comes from the throne saying It is done, and the greatest earthquake ever recorded splits the great city into three parts, topples every island, and removes every mountain. Hail weighing about a hundred pounds falls upon people from heaven, yet even this catastrophe does not produce repentance but only blasphemy against God.
