Six Bowls of Wrath

¹ Then I heard a loud voice from ^(C1)the temple, saying to the ^(C2)seven angels, "Go and ^(C3)pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath and indignation of God." ^(VR1)

² So the first angel went and poured out his bowl ^(C1)on the earth; and loathsome and malignant ^(C2)sores came on the people ^(C3)who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image. ^(VR1)

³ The second angel poured out his bowl ^(C1)into the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a corpse foul and disgusting; and every living ^(F1)thing in the sea died.

⁴ Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the ^(C1)rivers and the springs of water; and they ^(C2)turned into blood. ^(VR1)5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, "^(C1)Righteous and just are You, ^(C2)Who are and Who were, O ^(C3)Holy One, because You ^(C4)judged these things;⁶ for they have poured out ^(C1)the blood of the saints (God's people) and the prophets, and You in turn have given them ^(C2)blood to drink. They deserve Your judgment." ^(VR1)7 And I heard another from ^(C1)the altar saying, "Yes, O ^(C2)Lord God, the Almighty the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all, Your judgments are ^(C3)true and fair and righteous." ^(VR1)

⁸ Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on ^(C1)the sun, ^(C2)and it was given power to scorch humanity with raging fire.⁹ People were severely burned by the great heat; and they ^(C1)reviled the name of God who has power over these plagues, but they ^(C2)did not repent of their sin and ^(C3)glorify Him.

¹⁰ Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the ^(C1)throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into ^(C2)darkness; and people gnawed their tongues because of the pain of their excruciating anguish and severe torment, ^(VR1)11 and they ^(C1)blasphemed the ^(C2)God of heaven because of their anguish and their ^(C3)sores (abscesses, boils); and they ^(C4)did not repent of what they had done nor hate their wickedness.

¹² Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the ^(C1)great river, the Euphrates; and ^(C2)its water was dried up, so that ^(C3)the way would be prepared for the coming of the kings ^(C4)from ^(F1)the east. ^(VR1)

Armageddon

Seventh Bowl of Wrath

¹⁷ Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into ^(C1)the air, and a ^(C2)loud voice came out of the ^(C3)temple from the throne of God, saying, "^(C4)It is done. It is all over, it is all accomplished, it has come."¹⁸ And there were flashes of ^(C1)lightning and loud rumblings and peals of thunder; and there was ^(C2)a massive earthquake—^(C3)nothing like it has ever occurred since mankind originated on the earth, so severe and far-reaching was that earthquake. ^{(VR1)19 (C1)}The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And God ^(C2)kept in mind ^(C3)Babylon the great, to give her ^(C4)the cup of the wine of His fierce and furious wrath.²⁰ Then ^(C1)every island fled away, and no mountains could be found.²¹ And ^(C1)giant hailstones, as heavy as a ^(F1)talent, fell from the sky on the people; and people ^(C2)reviled and spoke abusively of God for the ^(C3)plague of the hail, because the plague was so very great. ^(VR1)
