The Sixth Bowl

12The sixth ypoured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, zand its water was dried up ato prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs bcoming from the dragon’s mouth, cfrom the beast’s mouth, dand from the mouth of the false prophet. e14For they are spirits of demons performing signs, fwho travel to the kings of the whole world to assemble them gfor the battle of the great day of God, the Almighty. h

15“Look, I am coming like a thief. The one who is alert and remains clothed ijso that he may not go around naked and people see his shame kis blessed.” l

16So they assembled them at the place called in Hebrew, Armagedon. mno

The Seventh Bowl

17Then the seventh ppoured out his bowl into the air, qand a loud voice came out of the sanctuary rsfrom the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18There were flashes of lightning and rumblings of thunder. And a severe earthquake occurred like no other since man has been on the earth—so great was the quake. t19The great city usplit into three parts, and the cities of the nations vfell. Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; He gave her the cup filled with the wine of His fierce anger. w20Every island fled, and the mountains disappeared. xy21Enormous hailstones, each weighing about 100 pounds, zfell from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God afor the plague of hail because that plague was extremely severe. b
