See: Isaiah 34

• Revelation Chapter 16 is part of “the things which will take place after this” The Tribulation – and covers ALL Seven Bowls.
  
  THE SEALS, TRUMPETS, AND BOWLS ALL OCCUR IN THE 2ND HALF OF THE TRIBULATION AFTER THE ATTACK ON JERUSALEM BY THE ARMIES OF GOG (THE RED HORSE: WAR). THE 2ND HALF OF THE TRIBULATION FOCUSES ON THE GENTILES WHO HAVE TAKEN JERUSALEM.
  
• THE SEALS ARE GOD’S COVENANT WITH ISRAEL. THE REMNANT OF JEWS ARE HIDDEN IN THE WILDERNESS DURING THE 2ND HALF OF THE TRIBULATION.
  
• THE TRUMPETS ARE WARNINGS TO THE GENTILES AND THE BOWLS ARE JUDGMENTS ON THE GENTILES.

• One could make the argument that the Seals come from the Father, the Trumpets come from the Son, and the Bowls come from the Holy Spirit.
  
  Three racers – all running to the finish line together to reach the seventh seal, the seventh trumpet, and the seventh bowl which culminates with Jesus appearing in the clouds at His return; displayed by an Earthquake, Thunder, Lightning, Great Hail, and Noises at His presence.

• BELOW: the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls all occur during the second half of the tribulation.

Revelation 16

• About the title: Symbolically, Satan is biblically described not only as a serpent but as a sea monster who swims in the waters of people – the seas and rivers. The sea monster is called the Leviathan. In the book of Job, the reader is advised not to use cursing (blasphemy) because it arouses Leviathan (Job 3:8). He causes the people to stew, fret, worry, and storm with his lies. He stirs up and fouls the waters. Do not disturb the Lying Leviathan.
• The tribulation increases the heat, causing the cauldron to boil.

• Job 41:20 Smoke goes out of his nostrils, As from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
  
  Job 41:31 He makes the deep boil like a pot; He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
  
• Jeremiah 1:13 And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling pot, and it is facing away from the north.”
  
• Ezekiel 24: ⁶ ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Woe to the bloody city (Jerusalem), To the pot whose scum is in it, And whose scum is not gone from it!

• 

The Seven Bowls

Revelation 16:¹ Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the (seven) bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.”

First Bowl: Loathsome Sores

Revelation 16:² So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome (severe and malignant, lit. bad and evil) sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.

• According to this verse, there is a connection between sores, having the mark, and worshiping the “image” of the beast. I believe the beast has become a combination of computer and biochip, connected to all mankind who have the biochip, with the computer working as a “server”, Ai, clone, alien from another planet, DNA manipulation, and anything else that causes a mimic “resurrection” even to the point of possibly implanting a printed 3D brain inside a body/robot/AI and having his “memory restored.” Science brags that there is no such thing as death anymore because a man’s memories can be restored and downloaded into a chip. (Causing Sores?)
• It is reasonable to think soldiers would be the first to get implanted since they have to take orders from the government.
  

Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood

Revelation 16:³ Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.

Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood

Revelation 16:⁴ Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

• Fresh Water: as opposed to the salt water of Bowl Two.
• The third bowl and the third trumpet are the same event with slightly different descriptions.
  
  • Revelation 8:10 – Third Trumpet: The Waters Struck
  • Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.

Revelation 16:⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying:

“You are righteous, O Lord,
The One who is and who was and who is to be,
Because You have judged these things.

• God lives in the eternal present. He name is “I Am – I Am”. In Hebrew “hāyâ (I AM) ‘ăšer (because) hāyâ (I AM).
  
  • Exodus 3:14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”
    
• The One who is and who was and who is to be matches the words given to John to write the book of Revelation.
  
  • Revelation 1:¹⁹ Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.

Revelation 16:⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
And You have given them blood to drink.

For it is their just due.”

The life is in the blood.

The death is in the blood.

• Leviticus 17:¹⁰  The Sanctity of Blood – ‘And whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who eats any blood, I will set My face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. ¹¹ For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’

• Numbers 35:19 The avenger of blood himself shall put the murderer to death; when he meets him, he shall put him to death.
• See Topic: Getting Their Just Due

Revelation 16:⁷ And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.”

• “At the Great White Throne Judgment to come – the judgments will be equal to the crimes – it will be perfect justice based on absolute truth.”

Fourth Bowl: Men Are Scorched

Revelation 16:⁸ Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.

Revelation 16:⁹ And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.

Fifth Bowl: Darkness and Pain

Revelation 16:¹⁰ Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.

Revelation 16:¹¹ They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

Sixth Bowl: Euphrates Dried Up

Revelation 16:¹² Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.

Revelation 16:¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon (Satan), out of the mouth of the beast (The Antichrist), and out of the mouth of the false prophet (The False Prophet).

Revelation 16:¹⁴ For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

Revelation 16:¹⁵ “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

Revelation 16:¹⁶ And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon (Mt. Megiddo, Megiddo).

Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken

• The simultaneous seventh seal, trumpet and bowl sum up the wrath of God and the pomp of Satan. They, like the others, are the same event. The seventh is the Return of Jesus and ends with thunder, lightning, earthquake, and noises. A complete 777 which overcomes Satan’s 666.

Revelation 16:¹⁷ Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”

Revelation 16:¹⁸ And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.

Revelation 16:¹⁹ Now the great city (Jerusalem) was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon (Jerusalem) was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

Revelation 16:²⁰ Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

Revelation 16:²¹ And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.
