Revelation 16 – Pouring out the final bowls of judgement Teaching the “whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27) Revelation 16 – Pouring out the final bowls of judgement Please visit our website: www.livingstonesnewforest.org.uk

The beginning of the end 8 The temple was filled with smoke from 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. The heavenly tabernacle opened The presence of the glory of God filled it Men unable to enter it until this last matter is settled The seven angels are armed with the seven bowls of God’s wrath Then!!

The End God is being worshipped The song of Moses is being sung “Great and marvellous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints![b] 4 Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, For Your judgments have been manifested.”

Judgement comes out of holiness Then the instruction goes out – Loudly! Great voice! “POUR OUR THE BOWLS!” It then seems that these judgements come in quick succession. First judgement – sores (like plague 5 of Egypt) Foul and loathesome Grievous and noisesome In Greek – running and painful On ‘The’ men who took the mark of the beast Targeted and therefore just The system they had put their trust in was powerless

Judgement comes out of holiness 2: sea turns to blood - like the blood of a dead man (Putrid) Like plague 1 of Egypt All life died – every living soul Imagine the stench, the mess, the affect on the air we breathe Possibly also symbolic of the errors of humanity that lead to their death 3: Fresh water turned to blood And You have given them blood to drink. For[d] it is their just due.” They have earned it – it is just recompense – Rev 13 v 10 – fits the crime They shed the blood of the saints and now they get to drink it 4: Men scorched – global warming ‘The’ Men – those with the mark Targeted and just Resulted in Blasphemy – still no repentance, pleas for mercy, giving glory Rev 7 v 16 – the sun will not strike them – the righteous

Judgement comes out of holiness 5: Darkness and pain Gnawing their tongues Exodus 10 v 21 – 23 – darkness that could be felt descending on the Egyptians while light was on the Iraelites. Still the response is Blasphemy 6: Euphrates dried up Provides a way to Armageddon Led by evil spirits Deceived by signs and relied upon the unholy trinity And brought to the place of the final battle where they would be defeated by Christ alone

Judgement comes out of holiness Armageddon Har-Megiddo – the hill of Megiddo Sits above the Jezreel Valley Isaiah 63 v 1 and following Comes from Bozrah Glorious Vengeful Victorious Alone Bloodstained robe Zechariah 14
