“And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.”
The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image - the first bowl targets those who received the beast's mark, echoing the Egyptian plague of boils. The sores are not accidental but consequential: those who bore the mark of rebellion bear the wounds of judgment.
