12The sixth angel poured his bowl on the great River Euphrates, and its water was dried up in order to prepare the way for the kings from the east.* 13And I saw three foul spirits like frogs coming from the mouth of the dragon, from the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet.* 14These are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.* 15(“See, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and is clothed,z not going about naked and exposed to shame.”)* 16And the demonic spiritsa assembled the kingsb at the place that in Hebrew is called Harmagedon.

17The seventh angel poured his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a violent earthquake, such as had not occurred since people were upon the earth, so violent was that earthquake.* 19The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. God remembered great Babylon and gave her the wine cup of the fury of his wrath.* 20And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found, 21and huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds,c dropped from heaven on people, until they cursed God for the plague of the hail, so fearful was that plague.*
