Revelation 15:1–16:21
15 Then aI saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: bseven angels having the seven last plagues, cfor in them the wrath of God is complete.
2 And I saw something like da sea of glass emingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, fover his image and 1over his mark and over the gnumber of his name, standing on the sea of glass, hhaving harps of God. 3 They sing ithe song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the jLamb, saying:
k“Great and marvelous are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
lJust and true are Your ways,
O King of the 2saints!
4 mWho shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are nholy.
For oall nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your judgments have been manifested.”
5 After these things I looked, and 3behold, pthe 4temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. 6 And out of the 5temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, qclothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands. 7 rThen one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God swho lives forever and ever. 8 tThe temple was filled with smoke ufrom the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying ato the seven angels, “Go and pour out the 1bowls bof the wrath of God on the earth.”
2 So the first went and poured out his bowl cupon the earth, and a 2foul and dloathsome sore came upon the men ewho had the mark of the beast and those fwho worshiped his image.
Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood
3 Then the second angel poured out his bowl gon the sea, and hit became blood as of a dead man; iand every living creature in the sea died.
Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood
4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl jon the rivers and springs of water, kand they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying:
The One mwho is and who 4was and who is to be,
Because You have judged these things.
6 For nthey have shed the blood oof saints and prophets,
pAnd You have given them blood to drink.
5For it is their just due.”
7 And I heard 6another from the altar saying, “Even so, qLord God Almighty, rtrue and righteous are Your judgments.”
8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl son the sun, tand power was given to him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they ublasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; vand they did not repent wand give Him glory.
10 Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl xon the throne of the beast, yand his kingdom became full of darkness; zand they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. 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
12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl aon the great river Euphrates, band its water was dried up, cso that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean dspirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of ethe dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of fthe false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, gperforming signs, which go out to the kings 7of the earth and of hthe whole world, to gather them to ithe battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 j“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, klest he walk naked and they see his shame.”
16 lAnd they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, 8Armageddon.
Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken
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, m“It is done!” 18 And nthere were noises and thunderings and lightnings; oand there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake pas had not occurred since men were on the earth. 19 Now qthe great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And rgreat Babylon swas remembered before God, tto give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. 20 Then uevery island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 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.
