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.
Great deception is about to be poured out on the earth. That evil one has many tricks and our Father isn't going to force anyone to The Truth.
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.
That "mark" is the deception you allow to take your mind. You have let satans tricks over take The Truth of God and you follow satans work. Remember, Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: What's in your mind and what you do in your works will determine who you follow. The mark of the beast or the seal of God?
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.
This isn't literal, it's spiritual. Seeing we should know by not the "sea" are the people. They are spiritually dead. Look around you today.
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
"Fountains of waters" = the words of the anti-christ will deceive. It will spread out, flowing into all the nations = waters. Deception kills. It will take peace, love, hope and faith. It destroys from within. It spreads like a virus.
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.
These "waters" = people.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
So many claim to know the things of God. Say they are Christian, yet have no time to seek out The Truth in His Word, they follow the deceptions of satan.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
God will allow those that [chose] to follow satan, being deceived to do so. "Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments."
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
The Truth is going to fuel anger in those that refuse it. It's during satan's time here and the two witnesses scorching the minds of rebellion. People will burn with anger over what they hear them say. The Truth tends to do that with evil.
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.
They just refuse The Truth. By refusing Gods Truth they blasphemed all that Is God. They love satans lies over The Truth.
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,
Splash! The worldly and those that called themselves "Christians" but rejected The Truth have a ruler sitting "where he ought not." Mark 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation ( = satan), spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it [he] ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Only two will literally be killed by satans commands. The people = waters of the world hear what they say and it drives the world nuts. Ever tried telling someone that claims to be a Christian that homosexuality is against God, or rapture is one of satans lies to deceive the church? Well you understand what these two will do to the world / beast and his system.
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.
This river divided Israel from Babylon. When there is no division, there in unity. This unity will be with satan, in Babel = confusion, believing they follow Christ.
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 deceptions of the "dragon" = actions of satan, come to devour. Deceptions within his system and his false religion claiming to be Christ. Lies, lies, lies! It's all he has and many will love to hear it. They do today, but will they ever fall for what's coming.
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.
The deceptions these evil frogs have for the waters = people of earth are going to amaze the ignorant. They already set up those that don't study. satan and his children have things right to deceive. The four dynasties are put together today. They're Education [from home, (TV) schools and media], Economics [Banking, commerce, and industry], Political [governments], and Religion through their world organization of Churches. The people are being set up to follow his marching orders and when The True Christ comes he wants them to be within his army.
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.
We don't know that hour our Lord comes, but He has given us many things to see the season of time. Have you prepared your house and yourself? Have you put on The Gospel Armor and have The Seal of God? Are you ready to fight the good fight?
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
"Armageddon" ="Megiddo" = "the gathering place of the crowd" and with satan only here five months, he wants to take as many with him as he can. Sad thing is, they are already lining up. So many are fooled by so many things today. Low information people will believe anything you tell them except The Truth. They don't like the sound of it for some reason. I believe it's because the rest of "the crowd" doesn't follow it either.
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.
The Lord comes at the 7th trump. NOT until then! If
your waiting on an escape from the other trumps, you have it. It's called The
Truth! This day is also known as The Lord's
day. It's the "last trump", The trump of God. 1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed. and 1 Thessalonians 4:16
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with
a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the
dead in Christ shall rise first:
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.
The Lord has shook things up and set things right upon His arrival. It's at the 7th trump, 7th seal, 7th vial our Lord comes = 777, NOT until then! 7 in Biblical Numerics is Spiritual Completeness
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.
Everything but The Truth will fall. It always does, but in this case even the world is corrected. All will understand The sacrifice given and why we should have followed. Matthew 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. 1 Corinthians 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
The systems and religions of the world are not found. This is when those that have been running from The Truth can't do so. He is here!
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.
Nothing like a 180 pound hail stone to take care of the evil in "Megiddo" = "the gathering place of the crowd", satans followers.
