The pouring out of God’s anger

Rev 16:1–21

16:1 The pouring out of God’s anger

16Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven messengers, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of God’s anger onto the earth.”

2So the first messenger went and poured out his bowl on the earth, all the people with the sea creature’s mark and the ones worshipping its image.[ref]

3The second messenger poured out his bowl into the ocean and it went thick like a corpse’s blood, and every living creature in it died.

4The third messenger poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and it became blood.[ref] 5Then I heard the messenger who was in charge of those waters say to God, “You are righteous, the one who exists now and in the past, the HOLY one, because you have judged these. 6Because they killed those who obeyed God and killed the prophets and poured out their blood, you have also given blood to them to drink. It’s what they deserve.” 7Then I heard (someone at?) the altar say, “Yes, Yahweh God, ruler of all, you judge people with truth and fairness.”

8The fourth messenger poured out his bowl onto the sun and it was permitted to scorch people with fire. 9So people were scorched with incredible heat and they swore at the God who has authority over those plagues, but they did not turn from their disobedience and honour him.

10The fifth messenger poured out his bowl on the throne of the sea creature and its kingdom went dark. The people there were biting their tongues from the pain,[ref] 11and they swore at the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores, but they didn’t turn from their evil actions.

12The sixth messenger poured out his bowl onto the large River Euphrates and its water was dried up in order to prepare the path of the kings from the east.[ref] 13I saw three evil spirits like frogs come out from the dinosaur’s mouth and out from the sea creature’s mouth and out from the false prophet’s mouth, 14because they are demons’ spirits that are able to do miraculous signs. They went out to the rulers all over the world to gather them together for battle on the great day of God, the ruler of all.

15(“Listen, I am coming unexpectedly like a thief! It’ll be good for the ones who’re alert and with their clothes ready so they won’t have to walk around naked and exposed.”)[ref]

16Then the demons’ spirits gathered the rulers at the place called Harmagedon in Hebrew.[ref]

17The seventh messenger poured out his bowl onto the air and a loud voice came out from the throne in the temple saying, “It’s now done.” 18Then there was lightning and thunder and other sounds, and a terrible earthquake, such as had not happened since people had been on the earth. Such a powerful earthquake, so massive![ref] 19The huge city split into three parts and cities collapsed all over the world. The famous city of Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s sight that she should be given her share of the results of his severe anger.[ref] 20All the islands vanished, and mountains could no longer be seen.[ref] 21Then thirty kilogram hailstones dropped onto people from the sky. The people swore at God because of the hail, because it was incredibly terrible![ref]

Exo 7:17-21:

17so Yahweh says, “Now you will know that I am Yahweh because of this: See, I’m about to use my staff to strike the water in the Nile and it will turn to blood[ref] 18and the fish in the river will die and the river will stink. Then your people will gag to drink the water from the river.” ’

19“Tell Aharon to take his staff and stretch out his hand over the waters of Egypt: over their streams, their canals, and their pools, and over every reservoir of their water, and the water will become blood. Then there’ll be blood in the entire country—even in wooden or stone containers of water.”

20So And Mosheh and Aharon did exactly what Yahweh had commanded: Aharon raised the staff and struck the river, while Far’oh and his servants watched, and the entire river turned to blood. 21Then the fish in the river died and the river stank, so the Egyptians couldn’t drink water from the river, and the blood was all over Egypt.

43[ref]But you do know that if the home-owner knew when the thief would come, he would be there watching and not allow the thief to break into the house. 44Because of that, you all should also be ready because otherwise you wouldn’t realise that humanity’s child is coming at that time.
