God’s Anger Flows

Angels heard commands to pour out their bowls of judgment onto the nonbelievers of earth. One angel spilled a bowl onto earth that resulted in painful sores on those who had worshipped the beast. The next angel transformed the earth’s oceans and seas into a blood-like body of water. This killed all of the marine life and destroyed the earth’s water supply. The third angel spilled its bowl of judgment into the rivers and streams and turned them into blood. These angels then turned to God and proclaimed Him as the most high.

More Bowls of Wrath

The wrath continued when another angel poured out their bowl. The wrath from this bowl turned the sun into a burning inferno. It burned all those who do not believe. The nonbelievers were still not repenting so the wrath continued.

As the fifth angel spilled their bowl, Rome was thrust into total darkness. The afflicted people cursed God and refused to accept His glory. The sixth angel poured out their bowl out and the water in the Euphrates River was dried up. Because of this, holy troops were able to strike against the army of the antichrist.

The Last Bowl of Wrath

The last bowl was poured upon the earth and a message was sent that the wrath was done. A wild storm was still raging around the globe, but the major travesties were finished. The earth still continued to face the aftermath of earthquakes and hailstorms that made life very difficult. The people of no faith still cursed the Lord because of the storms that were dramatically changing the land.

Revelation 16 (King James Version)

1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

2 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.

3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.

6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
