Revelation 16

  • About the Title: Arm-a-geddon and Eu (You) phrates (Fraidies) (Euphrates).

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: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.

Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood

Revelation 16: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:Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.
Revelation 16: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.
Revelation 16:For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
And You have given them blood to drink.
For it is their just due.”
Revelation 16:And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.”

Fourth Bowl: Men Are Scorched

Revelation 16:Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.
Revelation 16: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.
  • The sores may be caused by the radiation from nuclear war, or they may be caused by bio-chips inserted into their brains, or both.
  • Revelation 16:2-First Bowl: Loathsome Sores
  • So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.
Revelation 16:11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.
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.
  • The sixth bowl and the sixth trumpet are the same event with slightly different descriptions.
    • Revelation 9:14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
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.
  • The unclean spirits are called demons (represented as frogs), a lying hatred of Jews, gathering the spirits/demons/nations together to attack on the day of Armageddon.
  • The three places they originate are Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet. They are an unholy trinity. Much like Hitler’s final solution they have an agenda to annihilate the Jews and rule the world.
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.”
  • “When the tide goes out you can see who is swimming naked.” ~Warren Buffett
  • He is coming as a thief on His Return to Earth. This is not the timing of the Rapture. At the rapture the saints meet Jesus in the air. When Jesus returns His foot steps on Mt. Olives (Olivette) and it splits in half.
  • One other speculation: Has something been discovered in Israel that makes it the financial mecca of the world. Is it so valuable that every nation will fight for it.
Revelation 16:16 And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon (Mt. Megiddo, Megiddo).

Megiddo – Armageddon
  • The world gathers here, in the valley of Mount Megiddo. Megiddo, modern Tel Megiddo, important town of ancient Palestine, overlooking the Plain of Esdraelon (Valley of Jezreel).
  • Armageddon means “Hill of Crowded Assemblies”.
  • When Jesus returns He chases the Antichrist indwelt by Satan (the sea monster, the leviathan, who lives in a sea of people) through the Jezreel valley.
    • Isaiah 27:1 Israel Will Be Restored – In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong, Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan that twisted serpent; And He will slay the reptile that is in the sea.

      The hour will come when all prophecies from eternity past and eternity future meet in the plains of Megiddo, crashing into a war between the armies of God and the principalities of Satan to fulfill the entirety of prophecy decided by the One who lives in the present eternally.

  • The simultaneous seventh seal, trumpet and bowl sum up the wrath of God and the pomp of Satan. The seventh of each seal, trumpet and bowl is the return of Jesus ending with thunder, lightning, earthquake, and noises. A complete 777 which overcomes Satan’s 666.

Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken

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.
