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."
Let us go back and recapture where we are at this point. The first expression of God's wrath is seen in the "Seven Seals" (Rev. 6:1-17). The Seventh Seal contains the "Seven Trumpet Judgments" (Rev. 8:1-13; 9:1-21: 11:15-19). Then out of the "Seventh Trumpet Judgment" comes the "Seven Vials of God's Wrath" (Rev. 15:1; 16:1-21).
Now we will start with the final expression of the wrath of God during the Tribulation. The pouring out of the "Seven Vials" filled with wrath. When the "First Vial" is poured out a "noisome and grievous sore" will fall upon men who have the "Mark of the Beast," and who "worship his image." This is a repetition of the "Sixth Egyptian Plague." Ex. 9:8-12. What the Lord told Moses in Exodus to do in those few verses were verbatim and with an obvious meaning! And We believe that to be, so why can this not be? The "Literalness of these "Vial Judgment" is the key to the meaning of the whole Book of Revelation.
When the "Second Vial" is poured out, the sea (Mediterranean) will become as the "blood of a dead man," and every "living soul" (creature, for creatures have souls) in the sea will die. Something similar, though not so great in extent, happened when the "Second Trumpet" sounded. Rev. 8:8,9.
When the "Third Vial" is poured out the "rivers" and "fountains of water" will become "blood." This is a repetition of the "First Egyptian Plague." Ex. 7:19-24. Those will be awful and dreadful times when there is nothing to quench the thirst but "blood." Tomorrow we will continue with the pouring out of the "Seven Vials". Thank God I'm saved by the Blood of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Saviour.
Amen!!!!Reading: (Rev. 15:1; 16:1-21)
