The Book of the Revelation

CHAPTER 16

Revelation 16:1 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.
These are the last judgment on the earth and for them that has rejected the Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 16:2 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.
All that have taken the mark of the beast and worshipped his image will have the punishment of noisome and grievous sores, which could be leprosy. This is one disease that can spot the flesh and clothes. The doctrine in the Book of Jude will fit this time period. Jude 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Revelation 16:3 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.
The seas are turned to blood and every living soul died in the sea. Animals have souls but when they die, their soul also dies because their soul is stuck to the body.
Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
Numbers 31:28 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
When we are saved today, we are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands. The soul is cut away from the body. The body dies because of sin and the soul returns to God, who gave it.
Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

Revelation 16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
Revelation 16:5 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.

Angels have areas of authority. Here we see the angel of the waters.

Revelation 16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
The people on the earth that have taken the mark of the beast are worthy to have only blood to drink because they have rejected the Lord Jesus Christ. Remember that the Nation of Israel had been taken down in the wildness where God has prepared a place for them.

Revelation 16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
Revelation 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
God's judgments are righteous because of what these people have done. When the vial is poured out on the sun, direct sun's rays can reach the earth and men will be scorched and burned.

Revelation 16:9 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.
In spite of all these things, water to blood and being burned from sun's rays, instead of repenting and turning to God they blasphemed His Name.

Revelation 16:10 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,
The seat of the beast is where the beasts sits.
Revelation 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Now the earth is in darkness and they are chewing their tongues and still they will not repent.

Revelation 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Man is depraved but still can make a choice. They have decided to reject what the Lord had done for them and they repented not. All of the first five judgment are going on at the same time. They still have their sores and only have blood to drink.
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Revelation 16:12 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.
The kings of the East will came from East of the Euphrates River and they will come against Palestine.

Zephaniah 3:8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

The Euphrates River is about 1600 miles long and is about 30 to 40 feet deep. The question remains, why would they need the Euphrates River to be dried up if the kings of the East still had modern war equipment? They come down a dry River bed on horse back to fight the battle against the Lord at Armageddon

Revelation 16:13 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.
The unclean spirits are likening to frogs. These are spirits sent forth to deceive. They are amphibious. Satan was the anointed cherub that covered the throne of God. All life on earth has a representation in heaven by the four beasts that are around the throne but the amphibious, which was represented by Satan, which has been cast out.

Revelation 16:14 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.
Unclean spirits can heal, can speak in tongues and can raise the dead.
Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Not all healing comes from God and not all sickness comes from the Devil. Paul gloried in his infirmities. Joroboam was healed and Judas, who was a devil, could heal.
Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Satan is an angel of light today and his ministries are ministries of righteousness and they can also heal.
2 Corinthians 1115 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Revelation 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

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

This happens at the seconding coming of the Lord. Armageddon means the hill of the crowded. This is where multitudes of troops that will be crowded in this space. Joel 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. They will come down from the East into the northwest valley toward Jerusalem. The Lord Jesus Christ will stomp them until the blood runs about three feet deep for 180 miles down the Kishon to the Jordan River. Some may believe that the blood can’t be that deep but the blood comes out of the winepress even unto the horse bridles. The Lord Jesus Christ does not come first to fight at Armageddon but fight His way down from the North to the mount of Olives. Zechariah 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. Zechariah 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Revelation 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

This is the battle between the Lord Jesus Christ and the anti-Christ. Here the Lord Jesus Christ is the Almighty God. God the Father and God the Son are both Almighty God. Revelation 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

Revelation:16:17: 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.
Revelation:16:18: 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.
This will be the greatest earthquake of all times. This is the end of the tribulation period and all the heavens will be shaken. It is done, this is the last of the vial judgments and the Lord Jesus Christ is going to take charge of the earth.
Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Revelation 16:19 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.
Revelation 16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
Revelation 16:21 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.
Babylon and her sins come in remembrance before God and He is going to give her the fierceness of his wrath. The mountains will be leveled and water overflows the island. Hail comes upon the earth that weights 100 pounds. Throughout all these plagues men still didn’t repent and turn to God. They remain the same.
