Bowls of Judgment Part 2

 

    There are seven angels.  Each angel is carrying a bowl of plagues of judgment to pour onto the world.  This is the final act of God pouring out his wrath for humanity choosing the lesser way to live throughout every generation instead of having a relationship with Him.

    These plagues are very much like Moses' plagues.  They should feel familiar because God is the beginning and the end.  In the beginning of his judgment on people he sent plagues and he will end with plagues.  This time is severely different.  It is not one nation plagued.  It is not a third of the world that is hit.  This time whatever is left of the world will be affected by every single plague.

    The first angel carried the bowl of sours.  Sound more like boils which most people in the world are unfamiliar with the concept of what they do to the body.  We do know that they are extremely painful.  Anyone with the mark of the beast will be inflicted.

    The second angel's bowl contained something that turned the seas into blood.  This blood is grotesque like the blood of a dead person.  It will kill anything that lives in the oceans: animal, fish, or plant life.

    The third angel's bowl had something that made the fresh water turn into blood.  It is justice for all the martyrs,  It is deserved by the people that remain.  This leaves no fresh water to ease the suffering of the following plagues.

    The fourth angel's bowl turns the sun into a blistering fire.  The people will not only have sunburns, but severe blistering burns as if they had been burned in a fire.  It could be because the sun had not been out as much as it was before because it was only out 4-6 hours a day.  Maybe it is our longer and the potency is too much for the humans or maybe it is literally sending waves of fire onto the earth in UVs or literal fire.  Maybe this is the sun's last burst of energy.  No matter how it plays out, the people still will not repent and turn to God for salvation.

    The fifth angel's bowl plunges the world into darkness.  We know that every star has a lifespan and when it goes out it leave a black hole.  Maybe our sun burns out and now the world is in the darkness that it was before God created light.  Another option could be pollution or smoke that makes it where light does not reach the earth to full affect.  The people are suffering, but still blasphemy God and blame Him for their pain instead of taking personal responsibility.

    The sixth angel's bowl dries up the Euphrates.  This allows three evil spirits to come out of the Dragon's , Beast's, and False Prophet's mouths.  Their job is to get the world ready for the final batter at Armageddon.  All the rulers of the time will go there to gather.  Armageddon will reveal itself when it is time, but we do know it is the final battle of good versus evil.  

    The seventh angel's bowl releases a severe storm with deadly lightning, earth shaking thunder, and an earthquake.  As this plague is being thrown into the air, God declares it is done.  It is just like the final moment of life with Jesus where the doors of Heaven opened for people.  The difference is now that doors of salvation are being closed.  Anyone who dies from here on out has no hope.

    This earthquake splits Jerusalem into three parts.  Every group of people will flee to the mountains to try to disappear, but we know that no one can hide from God.  All the people remaining are cursed by God.  It leaves the impression of hell on earth as 100lb hailstones fall to the earth crushing anything it impacts or anything around the impacted location.  

    These plagues are more than what we can fully comprehend and the worst part is that is is real.  We know it will happen because God has already fulfilled everything else He had promised.
