The Wrath Of GOD

The Seven Vials

The Seven Seals, the Seven Trumps, and the Seven Vials cause the events which happen to consummate the end of this age. Each event corresponds to a seal (plan), which results in an action (trump), that uses a weapon (vial). For example, a specific seal corresponds to a specific trump and vial, and a specific trump corresponds to a specific seal and uses a specific vial. But as these seals, trumps, and vials are written, it is not a one to one correspondence for each seal and trump until the sixth seal and the sixth trump, which uses the sixth vial. From that point all of the seals, trumps and vials are in chronological order and have a one to one relationship. Until that point, however, the seals are in order of importance, and the trumps are in chronological order. What this means is that Seal One does not necessarily correspond to Trump One until the event that is reached that is caused by the sixth seal, which is associated with the sixth trump, which uses the sixth vial. The vials correspond to the trumps because they are the weapons used to perform each action. Mark, chapter thirteen lists the seven events that are caused by the seals, trumps, and vials, and lists these events in non-coded chronological order.

These events that bring about the end of the age are written in military style classified and encoded plans of actions. So whether you are looking at the seals or the trumps and vials, you are looking at the military plan, or the action that plan causes to take place. The events that result in the end of the age are a direct result of these military actions.

The seals are the written plans. You can envision a scroll which is rolled up and wrapped with a wax ring. The ring is Sealed (or closed) with the KING’S Seal Ring. The KING’S Seal Ring is equivalent to the KING’S Signature. GOD is The KING, so the information is contained within The Seal Of GOD. Only the intended recipient is able to open a particular seal and have the knowledge of the plan in that seal. You could consider these plans as classified documents.

Only GOD’S election is given eyes to see and ears to hear in order to understand these documents. It’s for our eyes only, or you could say: He who has an ear, let him hear.

Just as in the military, the seal is the plan that is written for which the action takes place at the blowing of the trumpet. As an example, “charge”, or “revelee”. The vials are the weapons used to carry out the trumps (actions). Each one corresponds to a specific trump. For example, in the plagues of Egypt, each weapon produced a given effect.

The LAMB only, is worthy to open these Seals, which HE does, and then HE provides understanding to HIS election by way of HIS HOLY SPIRIT. The ability to understand these plans occurs when The Seal Of GOD is placed in the forehead (mind) of the recipient.

The book of Revelation (more properly known as The Revelation Of JESUS CHRIST) is highly symbolic, therefore these plans are written with a symbolic nature. This is partly or wholly due to the purpose of eyes to see and ears to hear. It is given for the election to understand, but to others it is not given. He who hath an ear let him hear what the SPIRIT saith unto the churches.

Luke 8:10  And he said,
Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

It is of key importance to understand that the great tribulation is not about physical war. It is about spiritual deception, which is a spiritual war. When the devil arrives on earth as antichrist, he will come in peacefully and prosperously. To the deceived, it will be a revival. They will believe that JESUS has returned. They will be deceived by the miracles that satan performs on the earth in the sight of men. The descriptions for most of the seals, trumps, and vials are  spiritual in nature, and therefore those things written regarding these plans must be understood from a spiritual perspective. These plans do not become physical in nature until toward the end of the seals, trumps, and vials. For example, things start becoming physical at the fifth trump when the locust army begins to swarm.

The Seven Vials

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.

[
Note:
Notice that this is coming from Heaven to the earth. This is that Cup that JESUS asked FATHER three times in the Garden of Gethsemane if it were possible to pass. It’s The Cup Of WRATH. It’s GOD’S WRATH poured out without mixture onto the children. It is not possible to pass this cup. Also, remember that this is GOD’S WRATH being poured out on HIS enemies. GOD is not angry with you. Not one drop will fall upon HIS election.
]

The First Vial

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.

[
Note:
This vial is poured out upon the earth. I wonder if this corresponds to the fact that the antichrist rises out of the earth:

Revelation 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

The antichrist obtains his position by flatteries and I believe he rises out of one of the four hidden dynasties that his children use to gain control of the earth. The four hidden dynasties are Politics, Education, Religion, and Finance (or economy). I believe the antichrist rises from the religious dynasty. This can be ascertained from the book of Daniel.

This is during the great tribulation and more specifically during the hour of temptation. The noisome and grievous sore is a deception in the minds of those who take the mark of the beast. Noisome means depraved, worthless, or wicked. Grievous means hurtful or evil. And sore means an ulcer, as if drawn together. This is a disease that will bring you to the brink of death if you are not careful, and it is eternal death that I’m speaking of here because this deception is spiritual.
]

The Second Vial

Revelation 16:3  And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood G129 of a dead man: and every living soul G5590 died in the sea.

[
Note:
G5590
ψυχή
psuchē
psoo-khay'
From G5594; breath, that is, (by implication) spirit, abstractly or concretely (the animal sentient principle only; thus distinguished on the one hand from G4151, which is the rational and immortal soul; and on the other from G2222, which is mere vitality, even of plants: these terms thus exactly correspond respectively to the Hebrew [H5315], [H7307] and [H2416]: - heart (+ -ily), life, mind, soul, + us, + you.

Sentient

adjective
having the power of perception by the senses; conscious.
characterized by sensation and consciousness.

noun
a person or thing that is sentient.
Archaic. the conscious mind.

This is different from the immortal rational soul and the vitality of life. It’s the conscious soul that dies; the senses that input to the consciousness. It means their perception dies. They are deceived.

The sea is a sea of people:

Revelation 17:15  And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

So, it becomes a sea of deception. Every conscious person loses their senses and falls for the deception. This is why the sea becomes as the blood of a dead man. They become spiritually dead as they lose the TRUE CHRIST and fall away to the false. The blood they lose is CHRIST. Also kindred; they are no longer brothers and sisters in CHRIST.

G129
αἷμα
aima
hah'ee-mah
Of uncertain derivation; blood, literally (of men or animals), figuratively (the juice of grapes) or specifically (the atoning blood of Christ); by implication bloodshed, also kindred: - blood.

As shown below, the two witnesses have power to use these plagues as often as they will:

Revelation 11:3  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Revelation 11:4  These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Revelation 11:5  And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Revelation 11:6  These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
]

The Third Vial

Revelation 16:4  And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers G4215 and fountains G4077 of waters; and they became blood.

[
Note:
G4215
ποταμός
potamos
pot-am-os'
Probably from a derivative of the alternate of G4095 (compare G4224); a current, brook or freshet (as drinkable), that is, running water: - flood, river, stream, water.

G4077
πηγή
pēgē
pay-gay'
Probably from G4078 (through the idea of gushing plumply); a fount (literally or figuratively), that is, source or supply (of water, blood, enjoyment), (not necessarily the original spring): - fountain, well.

The rivers indicate the drinking water. The fountains indicate the source or supply. I think this means the people are no longer drinking the living water, and the preachers are deceived.
]

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.
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.
Revelation 16:7  And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

[
Note:
This judgment is poured out on the people because not only do they not care to follow GOD and love HIS TRUTH, but they also shed the blood of those saints and prophets that GOD sent to speak HIS TRUTH to the people. And remember that cain’s kids, which took over GOD’S Vineyard are they who shed the blood of saints and prophets. Even so, those that follow them are part of them.
]

The Fourth Vial

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.
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.

[
Note:
This plague is the only plague that it unique to the end time. All of the plagues of the end time are the same as the plagues poured out on Egypt at the time of Moses except this one.

Our GOD is a Consuming FIRE.

Hebrews 12:29  For our God is a consuming fire.

Revelation 11:3  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Revelation 11:4  These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Revelation 11:5  And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Revelation 11:6  These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

This is the two edged Sword of TRUTH. To scorch them with FIRE means to scorch them with TRUTH. It will be the same as heaping hot coals on their heads. In this manner will they die a Spiritual death.

Revelation 1:16  And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

Romans 12:19  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:20  Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Romans 12:21  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

But make sure you realize that what you feed your enemy is TRUTH, and what you give him to drink is The Living Water. If they will not listen, what they end up with is the Iron Rod discipline of the fiery furnace of the Millennium.

And why didn’t these people repent and give GOD glory? The answer is because they believe what they were doing is right. They believe that the devil is GOD because the devil is doing miracles in their sight and making peace as well as making everyone prosper. They did not have a love for the TRUTH, so they fall away to satan believing that he is CHRIST.
]

The Fifth Vial

Revelation 16:10  And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat G2362 of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; G4656 and they gnawed G3145 their tongues G100 for pain, G4192

[
Note:
And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the “throne” of the beast; and his kingdom was “blinded”; and they “chewed” their “language or understanding” “due to” their “anguish”.

In other words, they could not understand because they worship the beast.

G2362
θρόνος
thronos
thron'-os
From θράω thraō (to sit); a stately seat (“throne”); by implication power or (concretely) a potentate: - seat, throne.

G4656
σκοτόω
skotoō
skot-o'-o
From G4655; to obscure or blind (literally or figuratively): - be full of darkness.

G3145
μασσάομαι
massaomai
mas-sah'-om-ahee
From a primary word μάσσω massō (to handle or squeeze); to chew: - gnaw.

G1100
γλῶσσα
glōssa
gloce'-sah
Of uncertain affinity; the tongue; by implication a language (specifically one naturally unacquired): - tongue.

G1537
ἐκ, ἐξ
ek    ex
ek, ex
A primary preposition denoting origin (the point whence motion or action proceeds), from, out (of place, time or cause; literally or figuratively; direct or remote): - after, among, X are, at betwixt (-yond), by (the means of), exceedingly, (+ abundantly above), for (-th), from (among, forth, up), + grudgingly, + heartily, X heavenly, X hereby, + very highly, in, . . . ly, (because, by reason) of, off (from), on, out among (from, of), over, since, X thenceforth, through, X unto, X vehemently, with (-out). Often used in composition, with the same general import; often of completion.

G4192
πόνος
ponos
pon'-os
From the base of G3993; toil, that is, (by implication) anguish: - pain.
]

Revelation 16:11  And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

[
Note:
In other words, they blasphemed GOD by worshiping satan. And they did this because they chew on their deception. They don’t repent because they think they are worshiping GOD. Again, this happens because they don’t have a love for the TRUTH and therefore fall away to satan and worship him as CHRIST.

Read all of 2nd Thessalonians chapter two.

The Sixth Vial

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.

[
Note:
The Manuscripts do not say “kings of the east”, but says “those of the rising sun”. Those of the rising sun means satan and his ten fallen angel kings. I have said that this is related to the locust army swarming from Babylon into Israel before, but this happens also during these times. What is important is that the Euphrates river separates Iraq from Israel. Iraq is ancient Babylon. Babylon means “confusion”. When the dividing line is removed (Symbolically being the Euphrates dries up), it is symbolic of the devil moving into Israel (Jerusalem). According to 2nd Thessalonians chapter two, that is where satan sets up his throne.

Here is the sixth seal. This is where the angels are cast out of Heaven onto the earth along with satan as written in Revelation chapter twelve.

Revelation 6:12  And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Revelation 6:13  And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

Here is the sixth trump. This is where the four angels bound in the Euphrates are loosed. This also indicates the coming of the antichrist. Notice also, as I have mentioned before, that the locust army swarms at this time also. The locust army appears at the fifth trump, but they swarm into Israel when the dividing line (the Euphrates) is symbolically removed. You can read about the locust army in the book of Joel.

Revelation 9:13  And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Revelation 9:14  Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Revelation 9:15  And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Revelation 9:16  And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Revelation 9:17  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Revelation 9:18  By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

The fire, smoke and brimstone that proceeds out of their mouths is deception. You can count the number of the beast (666) by knowing that the devil arrives at the 6th seal, the 6th trump, and the 6th vial.
]

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.

[
Note:
All three of these entities are roles played by the same entity. The dragon is the destroyer of souls. The beast is his one world system of deception. The false prophet is the same dragon disguising himself as CHRIST, but he is anti (instead of) CHRIST.

Revelation 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Revelation 13:1  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Revelation 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Revelation 9:11  And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, G3 but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. G623

The name is given in two languages, so there is no mistaking his identification.

G3
Ἀβαδδών
Abaddōn
ab-ad-dohn'
Of Hebrew origin [H11]; a destroying angel: - Abaddon.

G623
Ἀπολλύων
Apolluōn
ap-ol-loo'-ohn
Active participle of G622; a destroyer (that is, Satan): - Apollyon.

The frog is symbolic of uncleanness. Three lying (deceiving) spirits coming out of the mouth. Speaking lies, saying that satan is GOD. That is blasphemy. And the people will believe it because they did not accept the love of the TRUTH.
]

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.

[
Note:
Revelation 9:17  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Revelation 9:18  By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Revelation 9:19  For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

The breastplate of a Levite priest has twelve stones. These have breastplates of the devil. Horses are symbolic of war and power, but the heads of these horses were as the heads of lions. True Judah (The True Jews) have a symbol of The Lion. These that control (heads) have the symbol of the fake lion. See the two churches that JESUS is happy with at the end time. They are Smyrna and Philadelphia (Revelation 2:9 and 3:9). JESUS is happy with them because they know who those are who say they are Jews and are not, but are of the synagogue of satan.

The deception comes out of their mouths. Their fire is the fake fire (they disguise themselves as angels of light and claim to be of GOD). The smoke is dulling the people’s spirit, they can’t see through the lies. The brimstone is judgment. They fall away to satan because they have no love for the TRUTH. They are deceived. Their tails (deception) were like unto serpents (deceivers), and what they hurt are the souls of those deceived.

Revelation 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Note: Two horns like a lamb (disguising himself as CHRIST). Speaks as a dragon because he is the dragon.

Revelation 13:12  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Revelation 13:13  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Revelation 13:14  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Revelation 13:15  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
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:
Revelation 13:17  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Revelation 13:18  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Note: And don’t let that “number of a man” fool you. See 2nd Thessalonians chapter two; the devil is the man of sin. And learn the difference between man in the flesh and man as an angel. See the post: “What Kind Of Man Is GOD?”.
]

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.

[
Note:
JESUS returns as a Thief in the night. As a thief because no one is expecting HIM (except the election) because they think HE is already here. The only thing that we can take with us when we leave this flesh life is our righteous acts (righteousness means doing what is right). It is what our clothing in Heaven is weaved from (that fine white linen). The fallen angels strip the great whore naked. The great whore are those who should have been the Bride of CHRIST, but instead became the bride of satan because they had no love of the TRUTH. Any righteous act the whore has ever done will be stripped from her. She will be naked (shameful) in Heaven. Be a watchman, and know the TRUTH. The devil arrives at the sixth seal, the sixth trump, and the sixth vial, and disguises himself as GOD in the form of CHRIST. The TRUE CHRIST does not return until the Seventh Trump. Don’t be deceived by satan.
]

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

[
Note:
Armageddon means “the gathering place of the crowd”. There is a type of this battle in Judges chapter five. Debra (a female) had to lead the battle for Israel because there was not a man fit to do the job. Debra is a type of the TRUE CHURCH, The TRUE Bride of CHRIST, which is GOD’S election. GOD will make HIS enemies HIS footstool, and HE will do that using HIS election. Armageddon is a specific location in Judges chapter five, but at the end time this place is Jerusalem. The devil sets up his throne in Jerusalem at the end time, and this is where that battle will take place. These people are actually going to try and battle against GOD ALMIGHTY. It’s my opinion that this battle will likely last for just a few minutes, if that. Then there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, as The LORD’S Day begins. The Great Day of GOD ALMIGHTY is The LORD’S Day, which we call The Millennium.
]

The Seventh Vial

Revelation 16:17  And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; G109 and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

[
Note:
This is the point in time that JESUS returns. The seventh seal, the seventh trump, and the seventh vial.

Revelation 8:1  And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
Revelation 8:2  And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
Revelation 8:3  And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
Revelation 8:4  And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
Revelation 8:5  And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

Revelation 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 11:16  And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Revelation 11:17  Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
Revelation 11:18  And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Revelation 11:19  And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

Notice that the “air” is the spirit, as in the breath of Life spirit. And what spirit was this vial poured out upon?

Ephesians 2:1  And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Ephesians 2:2  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, G109 the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

G109
ἀήρ
aēr
ah-ayr'
From ἄημι aēmi (to breathe unconsciously, that is, respire; by analogy to blow); “air” (as naturally circumambient): - air. Compare G5594.
]

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.

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.

[
Note:
The cup of wrath is poured out and the end of the age is in progress.
]

Revelation 16:20  And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

[
Note:
The old way is gone. Mountains are nations. The nations are not found. Now is The LORD’S Day. There is ONE KING.
]

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.

[
Note:
GOD uses HIS creation, nature to perform many of the things that HE does. A talent can be from one hundred to one hundred and eighty pounds depending on when it was designated in history. Either way, a hailstone that size will pulverize anything that it hits. But not to worry, GOD is not angry at you. And any plague that GOD sends will be delivered with precision accuracy. It won’t touch you. Many will be put into their spirit bodies by these hailstones. But you and I? We will not likely notice as we change into our spirit bodies. We will be changed into our spirit bodies in the blink of an eye as written in 1st Corinthians chapter fifteen.
]

This concludes chapter sixteen of the book of Revelation. In chapter seventeen we will cover the great whore.

The Wrath Of GOD

The Seven Vials

The Seven Seals, the Seven Trumps, and the Seven Vials cause the events which happen to consummate the end of this age. Each event corresponds to a seal (plan), which results in an action (trump), that uses a weapon (vial). For example, a specific seal corresponds to a specific trump and vial, and a specific trump corresponds to a specific seal and uses a specific vial. But as these seals, trumps, and vials are written, it is not a one to one correspondence for each seal and trump until the sixth seal and the sixth trump, which uses the sixth vial. From that point all of the seals, trumps and vials are in chronological order and have a one to one relationship. Until that point, however, the seals are in order of importance, and the trumps are in chronological order. What this means is that Seal One does not necessarily correspond to Trump One until the event that is reached that is caused by the sixth seal, which is associated with the sixth trump, which uses the sixth vial. The vials correspond to the trumps because they are the weapons used to perform each action. Mark, chapter thirteen lists the seven events that are caused by the seals, trumps, and vials, and lists these events in non-coded chronological order.

These events that bring about the end of the age are written in military style classified and encoded plans of actions. So whether you are looking at the seals or the trumps and vials, you are looking at the military plan, or the action that plan causes to take place. The events that result in the end of the age are a direct result of these military actions.

The seals are the written plans. You can envision a scroll which is rolled up and wrapped with a wax ring. The ring is Sealed (or closed) with the KING’S Seal Ring. The KING’S Seal Ring is equivalent to the KING’S Signature. GOD is The KING, so the information is contained within The Seal Of GOD. Only the intended recipient is able to open a particular seal and have the knowledge of the plan in that seal. You could consider these plans as classified documents.

Only GOD’S election is given eyes to see and ears to hear in order to understand these documents. It’s for our eyes only, or you could say: He who has an ear, let him hear.

Just as in the military, the seal is the plan that is written for which the action takes place at the blowing of the trumpet. As an example, “charge”, or “revelee”. The vials are the weapons used to carry out the trumps (actions). Each one corresponds to a specific trump. For example, in the plagues of Egypt, each weapon produced a given effect.

The LAMB only, is worthy to open these Seals, which HE does, and then HE provides understanding to HIS election by way of HIS HOLY SPIRIT. The ability to understand these plans occurs when The Seal Of GOD is placed in the forehead (mind) of the recipient.

The book of Revelation (more properly known as The Revelation Of JESUS CHRIST) is highly symbolic, therefore these plans are written with a symbolic nature. This is partly or wholly due to the purpose of eyes to see and ears to hear. It is given for the election to understand, but to others it is not given. He who hath an ear let him hear what the SPIRIT saith unto the churches.

Luke 8:10  And he said,
Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

It is of key importance to understand that the great tribulation is not about physical war. It is about spiritual deception, which is a spiritual war. When the devil arrives on earth as antichrist, he will come in peacefully and prosperously. To the deceived, it will be a revival. They will believe that JESUS has returned. They will be deceived by the miracles that satan performs on the earth in the sight of men. The descriptions for most of the seals, trumps, and vials are  spiritual in nature, and therefore those things written regarding these plans must be understood from a spiritual perspective. These plans do not become physical in nature until toward the end of the seals, trumps, and vials. For example, things start becoming physical at the fifth trump when the locust army begins to swarm.

The Seven Vials

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.

[
Note:
Notice that this is coming from Heaven to the earth. This is that Cup that JESUS asked FATHER three times in the Garden of Gethsemane if it were possible to pass. It’s The Cup Of WRATH. It’s GOD’S WRATH poured out without mixture onto the children. It is not possible to pass this cup. Also, remember that this is GOD’S WRATH being poured out on HIS enemies. GOD is not angry with you. Not one drop will fall upon HIS election.
]

The First Vial

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.

[
Note:
This vial is poured out upon the earth. I wonder if this corresponds to the fact that the antichrist rises out of the earth:

Revelation 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

The antichrist obtains his position by flatteries and I believe he rises out of one of the four hidden dynasties that his children use to gain control of the earth. The four hidden dynasties are Politics, Education, Religion, and Finance (or economy). I believe the antichrist rises from the religious dynasty. This can be ascertained from the book of Daniel.

This is during the great tribulation and more specifically during the hour of temptation. The noisome and grievous sore is a deception in the minds of those who take the mark of the beast. Noisome means depraved, worthless, or wicked. Grievous means hurtful or evil. And sore means an ulcer, as if drawn together. This is a disease that will bring you to the brink of death if you are not careful, and it is eternal death that I’m speaking of here because this deception is spiritual.
]

The Second Vial

Revelation 16:3  And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood G129 of a dead man: and every living soul G5590 died in the sea.

[
Note:
G5590
ψυχή
psuchē
psoo-khay'
From G5594; breath, that is, (by implication) spirit, abstractly or concretely (the animal sentient principle only; thus distinguished on the one hand from G4151, which is the rational and immortal soul; and on the other from G2222, which is mere vitality, even of plants: these terms thus exactly correspond respectively to the Hebrew [H5315], [H7307] and [H2416]: - heart (+ -ily), life, mind, soul, + us, + you.

Sentient

adjective
having the power of perception by the senses; conscious.
characterized by sensation and consciousness.

noun
a person or thing that is sentient.
Archaic. the conscious mind.

This is different from the immortal rational soul and the vitality of life. It’s the conscious soul that dies; the senses that input to the consciousness. It means their perception dies. They are deceived.

The sea is a sea of people:

Revelation 17:15  And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

So, it becomes a sea of deception. Every conscious person loses their senses and falls for the deception. This is why the sea becomes as the blood of a dead man. They become spiritually dead as they lose the TRUE CHRIST and fall away to the false. The blood they lose is CHRIST. Also kindred; they are no longer brothers and sisters in CHRIST.

G129
αἷμα
aima
hah'ee-mah
Of uncertain derivation; blood, literally (of men or animals), figuratively (the juice of grapes) or specifically (the atoning blood of Christ); by implication bloodshed, also kindred: - blood.

As shown below, the two witnesses have power to use these plagues as often as they will:

Revelation 11:3  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Revelation 11:4  These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Revelation 11:5  And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Revelation 11:6  These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
]

The Third Vial

Revelation 16:4  And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers G4215 and fountains G4077 of waters; and they became blood.

[
Note:
G4215
ποταμός
potamos
pot-am-os'
Probably from a derivative of the alternate of G4095 (compare G4224); a current, brook or freshet (as drinkable), that is, running water: - flood, river, stream, water.

G4077
πηγή
pēgē
pay-gay'
Probably from G4078 (through the idea of gushing plumply); a fount (literally or figuratively), that is, source or supply (of water, blood, enjoyment), (not necessarily the original spring): - fountain, well.

The rivers indicate the drinking water. The fountains indicate the source or supply. I think this means the people are no longer drinking the living water, and the preachers are deceived.
]

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.
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.
Revelation 16:7  And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

[
Note:
This judgment is poured out on the people because not only do they not care to follow GOD and love HIS TRUTH, but they also shed the blood of those saints and prophets that GOD sent to speak HIS TRUTH to the people. And remember that cain’s kids, which took over GOD’S Vineyard are they who shed the blood of saints and prophets. Even so, those that follow them are part of them.
]

The Fourth Vial

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.
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.

[
Note:
This plague is the only plague that it unique to the end time. All of the plagues of the end time are the same as the plagues poured out on Egypt at the time of Moses except this one.

Our GOD is a Consuming FIRE.

Hebrews 12:29  For our God is a consuming fire.

Revelation 11:3  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Revelation 11:4  These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Revelation 11:5  And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Revelation 11:6  These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

This is the two edged Sword of TRUTH. To scorch them with FIRE means to scorch them with TRUTH. It will be the same as heaping hot coals on their heads. In this manner will they die a Spiritual death.

Revelation 1:16  And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

Romans 12:19  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:20  Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Romans 12:21  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

But make sure you realize that what you feed your enemy is TRUTH, and what you give him to drink is The Living Water. If they will not listen, what they end up with is the Iron Rod discipline of the fiery furnace of the Millennium.

And why didn’t these people repent and give GOD glory? The answer is because they believe what they were doing is right. They believe that the devil is GOD because the devil is doing miracles in their sight and making peace as well as making everyone prosper. They did not have a love for the TRUTH, so they fall away to satan believing that he is CHRIST.
]

The Fifth Vial

Revelation 16:10  And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat G2362 of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; G4656 and they gnawed G3145 their tongues G100 for pain, G4192

[
Note:
And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the “throne” of the beast; and his kingdom was “blinded”; and they “chewed” their “language or understanding” “due to” their “anguish”.

In other words, they could not understand because they worship the beast.

G2362
θρόνος
thronos
thron'-os
From θράω thraō (to sit); a stately seat (“throne”); by implication power or (concretely) a potentate: - seat, throne.

G4656
σκοτόω
skotoō
skot-o'-o
From G4655; to obscure or blind (literally or figuratively): - be full of darkness.

G3145
μασσάομαι
massaomai
mas-sah'-om-ahee
From a primary word μάσσω massō (to handle or squeeze); to chew: - gnaw.

G1100
γλῶσσα
glōssa
gloce'-sah
Of uncertain affinity; the tongue; by implication a language (specifically one naturally unacquired): - tongue.

G1537
ἐκ, ἐξ
ek    ex
ek, ex
A primary preposition denoting origin (the point whence motion or action proceeds), from, out (of place, time or cause; literally or figuratively; direct or remote): - after, among, X are, at betwixt (-yond), by (the means of), exceedingly, (+ abundantly above), for (-th), from (among, forth, up), + grudgingly, + heartily, X heavenly, X hereby, + very highly, in, . . . ly, (because, by reason) of, off (from), on, out among (from, of), over, since, X thenceforth, through, X unto, X vehemently, with (-out). Often used in composition, with the same general import; often of completion.

G4192
πόνος
ponos
pon'-os
From the base of G3993; toil, that is, (by implication) anguish: - pain.
]

Revelation 16:11  And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

[
Note:
In other words, they blasphemed GOD by worshiping satan. And they did this because they chew on their deception. They don’t repent because they think they are worshiping GOD. Again, this happens because they don’t have a love for the TRUTH and therefore fall away to satan and worship him as CHRIST.

Read all of 2nd Thessalonians chapter two.
]

The Sixth Vial

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.

[
Note:
The Manuscripts do not say “kings of the east”, but says “those of the rising sun”. Those of the rising sun means satan and his ten fallen angel kings. I have said that this is related to the locust army swarming from Babylon into Israel before, but this happens also during these times. What is important is that the Euphrates river separates Iraq from Israel. Iraq is ancient Babylon. Babylon means “confusion”. When the dividing line is removed (Symbolically being the Euphrates dries up), it is symbolic of the devil moving into Israel (Jerusalem). According to 2nd Thessalonians chapter two, that is where satan sets up his throne.

Here is the sixth seal. This is where the angels are cast out of Heaven onto the earth along with satan as written in Revelation chapter twelve.

Revelation 6:12  And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Revelation 6:13  And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

Here is the sixth trump. This is where the four angels bound in the Euphrates are loosed. This also indicates the coming of the antichrist. Notice also, as I have mentioned before, that the locust army swarms at this time also. The locust army appears at the fifth trump, but they swarm into Israel when the dividing line (the Euphrates) is symbolically removed. You can read about the locust army in the book of Joel.

Revelation 9:13  And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Revelation 9:14  Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Revelation 9:15  And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Revelation 9:16  And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Revelation 9:17  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Revelation 9:18  By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

The fire, smoke and brimstone that proceeds out of their mouths is deception. You can count the number of the beast (666) by knowing that the devil arrives at the 6th seal, the 6th trump, and the 6th vial.
]

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.

[
Note:
All three of these entities are roles played by the same entity. The dragon is the destroyer of souls. The beast is his one world system of deception. The false prophet is the same dragon disguising himself as CHRIST, but he is anti (instead of) CHRIST.

Revelation 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Revelation 13:1  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Revelation 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Revelation 9:11  And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, G3 but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. G623

The name is given in two languages, so there is no mistaking his identification.

G3
Ἀβαδδών
Abaddōn
ab-ad-dohn'
Of Hebrew origin [H11]; a destroying angel: - Abaddon.

G623
Ἀπολλύων
Apolluōn
ap-ol-loo'-ohn
Active participle of G622; a destroyer (that is, Satan): - Apollyon.

The frog is symbolic of uncleanness. Three lying (deceiving) spirits coming out of the mouth. Speaking lies, saying that satan is GOD. That is blasphemy. And the people will believe it because they did not accept the love of the TRUTH.
]

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.

[
Note:
Revelation 9:17  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Revelation 9:18  By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Revelation 9:19  For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

The breastplate of a Levite priest has twelve stones. These have breastplates of the devil. Horses are symbolic of war and power, but the heads of these horses were as the heads of lions. True Judah (The True Jews) have a symbol of The Lion. These that control (heads) have the symbol of the fake lion. See the two churches that JESUS is happy with at the end time. They are Smyrna and Philadelphia (Revelation 2:9 and 3:9). JESUS is happy with them because they know who those are who say they are Jews and are not, but are of the synagogue of satan.

The deception comes out of their mouths. Their fire is the fake fire (they disguise themselves as angels of light and claim to be of GOD). The smoke is dulling the people’s spirit, they can’t see through the lies. The brimstone is judgment. They fall away to satan because they have no love for the TRUTH. They are deceived. Their tails (deception) were like unto serpents (deceivers), and what they hurt are the souls of those deceived.

Revelation 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Note: Two horns like a lamb (disguising himself as CHRIST). Speaks as a dragon because he is the dragon.

Revelation 13:12  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Revelation 13:13  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Revelation 13:14  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Revelation 13:15  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
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:
Revelation 13:17  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Revelation 13:18  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Note: And don’t let that “number of a man” fool you. See 2nd Thessalonians chapter two; the devil is the man of sin. And learn the difference between man in the flesh and man as an angel. See the post: “What Kind Of Man Is GOD?”.
]

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.

[
Note:
JESUS returns as a Thief in the night. As a thief because no one is expecting HIM (except the election) because they think HE is already here. The only thing that we can take with us when we leave this flesh life is our righteous acts (righteousness means doing what is right). It is what our clothing in Heaven is weaved from (that fine white linen). The fallen angels strip the great whore naked. The great whore are those who should have been the Bride of CHRIST, but instead became the bride of satan because they had no love of the TRUTH. Any righteous act the whore has ever done will be stripped from her. She will be naked (shameful) in Heaven. Be a watchman, and know the TRUTH. The devil arrives at the sixth seal, the sixth trump, and the sixth vial, and disguises himself as GOD in the form of CHRIST. The TRUE CHRIST does not return until the Seventh Trump. Don’t be deceived by satan.
]

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

[
Note:
Armageddon means “the gathering place of the crowd”. There is a type of this battle in Judges chapter five. Debra (a female) had to lead the battle for Israel because there was not a man fit to do the job. Debra is a type of the TRUE CHURCH, The TRUE Bride of CHRIST, which is GOD’S election. GOD will make HIS enemies HIS footstool, and HE will do that using HIS election. Armageddon is a specific location in Judges chapter five, but at the end time this place is Jerusalem. The devil sets up his throne in Jerusalem at the end time, and this is where that battle will take place. These people are actually going to try and battle against GOD ALMIGHTY. It’s my opinion that this battle will likely last for just a few minutes, if that. Then there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, as The LORD’S Day begins. The Great Day of GOD ALMIGHTY is The LORD’S Day, which we call The Millennium.
]

The Seventh Vial

Revelation 16:17  And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; G109 and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

[
Note:
This is the point in time that JESUS returns. The seventh seal, the seventh trump, and the seventh vial.

Revelation 8:1  And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
Revelation 8:2  And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
Revelation 8:3  And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
Revelation 8:4  And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
Revelation 8:5  And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

Revelation 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 11:16  And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Revelation 11:17  Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
Revelation 11:18  And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Revelation 11:19  And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

Notice that the “air” is the spirit, as in the breath of Life spirit. And what spirit was this vial poured out upon?

Ephesians 2:1  And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Ephesians 2:2  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, G109 the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

G109
ἀήρ
aēr
ah-ayr'
From ἄημι aēmi (to breathe unconsciously, that is, respire; by analogy to blow); “air” (as naturally circumambient): - air. Compare G5594.
]

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.

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.

[
Note:
The cup of wrath is poured out and the end of the age is in progress.
]

Revelation 16:20  And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

[
Note:
The old way is gone. Mountains are nations. The nations are not found. Now is The LORD’S Day. There is ONE KING.
]

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.

[
Note:
GOD uses HIS creation, nature to perform many of the things that HE does. A talent can be from one hundred to one hundred and eighty pounds depending on when it was designated in history. Either way, a hailstone that size will pulverize anything that it hits. But not to worry, GOD is not angry at you. And any plague that GOD sends will be delivered with precision accuracy. It won’t touch you. Many will be put into their spirit bodies by these hailstones. But you and I? We will not likely notice as we change into our spirit bodies. We will be changed into our spirit bodies in the blink of an eye as written in 1st Corinthians chapter fifteen.
]

This concludes chapter sixteen of the book of Revelation. In chapter seventeen we will cover the great whore.

The Wrath Of GOD

The Seven Vials

The Seven Seals, the Seven Trumps, and the Seven Vials cause the events which happen to consummate the end of this age. Each event corresponds to a seal (plan), which results in an action (trump), that uses a weapon (vial). For example, a specific seal corresponds to a specific trump and vial, and a specific trump corresponds to a specific seal and uses a specific vial. But as these seals, trumps, and vials are written, it is not a one to one correspondence for each seal and trump until the sixth seal and the sixth trump, which uses the sixth vial. From that point all of the seals, trumps and vials are in chronological order and have a one to one relationship. Until that point, however, the seals are in order of importance, and the trumps are in chronological order. What this means is that Seal One does not necessarily correspond to Trump One until the event that is reached that is caused by the sixth seal, which is associated with the sixth trump, which uses the sixth vial. The vials correspond to the trumps because they are the weapons used to perform each action. Mark, chapter thirteen lists the seven events that are caused by the seals, trumps, and vials, and lists these events in non-coded chronological order.

These events that bring about the end of the age are written in military style classified and encoded plans of actions. So whether you are looking at the seals or the trumps and vials, you are looking at the military plan, or the action that plan causes to take place. The events that result in the end of the age are a direct result of these military actions.

The seals are the written plans. You can envision a scroll which is rolled up and wrapped with a wax ring. The ring is Sealed (or closed) with the KING’S Seal Ring. The KING’S Seal Ring is equivalent to the KING’S Signature. GOD is The KING, so the information is contained within The Seal Of GOD. Only the intended recipient is able to open a particular seal and have the knowledge of the plan in that seal. You could consider these plans as classified documents.

Only GOD’S election is given eyes to see and ears to hear in order to understand these documents. It’s for our eyes only, or you could say: He who has an ear, let him hear.

Just as in the military, the seal is the plan that is written for which the action takes place at the blowing of the trumpet. As an example, “charge”, or “revelee”. The vials are the weapons used to carry out the trumps (actions). Each one corresponds to a specific trump. For example, in the plagues of Egypt, each weapon produced a given effect.

The LAMB only, is worthy to open these Seals, which HE does, and then HE provides understanding to HIS election by way of HIS HOLY SPIRIT. The ability to understand these plans occurs when The Seal Of GOD is placed in the forehead (mind) of the recipient.

The book of Revelation (more properly known as The Revelation Of JESUS CHRIST) is highly symbolic, therefore these plans are written with a symbolic nature. This is partly or wholly due to the purpose of eyes to see and ears to hear. It is given for the election to understand, but to others it is not given. He who hath an ear let him hear what the SPIRIT saith unto the churches.

Luke 8:10  And he said,
Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

It is of key importance to understand that the great tribulation is not about physical war. It is about spiritual deception, which is a spiritual war. When the devil arrives on earth as antichrist, he will come in peacefully and prosperously. To the deceived, it will be a revival. They will believe that JESUS has returned. They will be deceived by the miracles that satan performs on the earth in the sight of men. The descriptions for most of the seals, trumps, and vials are  spiritual in nature, and therefore those things written regarding these plans must be understood from a spiritual perspective. These plans do not become physical in nature until toward the end of the seals, trumps, and vials. For example, things start becoming physical at the fifth trump when the locust army begins to swarm.

The Seven Vials

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.

[
Note:
Notice that this is coming from Heaven to the earth. This is that Cup that JESUS asked FATHER three times in the Garden of Gethsemane if it were possible to pass. It’s The Cup Of WRATH. It’s GOD’S WRATH poured out without mixture onto the children. It is not possible to pass this cup. Also, remember that this is GOD’S WRATH being poured out on HIS enemies. GOD is not angry with you. Not one drop will fall upon HIS election.
]

The First Vial

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.

[
Note:
This vial is poured out upon the earth. I wonder if this corresponds to the fact that the antichrist rises out of the earth:

Revelation 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

The antichrist obtains his position by flatteries and I believe he rises out of one of the four hidden dynasties that his children use to gain control of the earth. The four hidden dynasties are Politics, Education, Religion, and Finance (or economy). I believe the antichrist rises from the religious dynasty. This can be ascertained from the book of Daniel.

This is during the great tribulation and more specifically during the hour of temptation. The noisome and grievous sore is a deception in the minds of those who take the mark of the beast. Noisome means depraved, worthless, or wicked. Grievous means hurtful or evil. And sore means an ulcer, as if drawn together. This is a disease that will bring you to the brink of death if you are not careful, and it is eternal death that I’m speaking of here because this deception is spiritual.
]

The Second Vial

Revelation 16:3  And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood G129 of a dead man: and every living soul G5590 died in the sea.

[
Note:
G5590
ψυχή
psuchē
psoo-khay'
From G5594; breath, that is, (by implication) spirit, abstractly or concretely (the animal sentient principle only; thus distinguished on the one hand from G4151, which is the rational and immortal soul; and on the other from G2222, which is mere vitality, even of plants: these terms thus exactly correspond respectively to the Hebrew [H5315], [H7307] and [H2416]: - heart (+ -ily), life, mind, soul, + us, + you.

Sentient

adjective
having the power of perception by the senses; conscious.
characterized by sensation and consciousness.

noun
a person or thing that is sentient.
Archaic. the conscious mind.

This is different from the immortal rational soul and the vitality of life. It’s the conscious soul that dies; the senses that input to the consciousness. It means their perception dies. They are deceived.

The sea is a sea of people:

Revelation 17:15  And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

So, it becomes a sea of deception. Every conscious person loses their senses and falls for the deception. This is why the sea becomes as the blood of a dead man. They become spiritually dead as they lose the TRUE CHRIST and fall away to the false. The blood they lose is CHRIST. Also kindred; they are no longer brothers and sisters in CHRIST.

G129
αἷμα
aima
hah'ee-mah
Of uncertain derivation; blood, literally (of men or animals), figuratively (the juice of grapes) or specifically (the atoning blood of Christ); by implication bloodshed, also kindred: - blood.

As shown below, the two witnesses have power to use these plagues as often as they will:

Revelation 11:3  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Revelation 11:4  These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Revelation 11:5  And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Revelation 11:6  These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
]

The Third Vial

Revelation 16:4  And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers G4215 and fountains G4077 of waters; and they became blood.

[
Note:
G4215
ποταμός
potamos
pot-am-os'
Probably from a derivative of the alternate of G4095 (compare G4224); a current, brook or freshet (as drinkable), that is, running water: - flood, river, stream, water.

G4077
πηγή
pēgē
pay-gay'
Probably from G4078 (through the idea of gushing plumply); a fount (literally or figuratively), that is, source or supply (of water, blood, enjoyment), (not necessarily the original spring): - fountain, well.

The rivers indicate the drinking water. The fountains indicate the source or supply. I think this means the people are no longer drinking the living water, and the preachers are deceived.
]

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.
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.
Revelation 16:7  And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

[
Note:
This judgment is poured out on the people because not only do they not care to follow GOD and love HIS TRUTH, but they also shed the blood of those saints and prophets that GOD sent to speak HIS TRUTH to the people. And remember that cain’s kids, which took over GOD’S Vineyard are they who shed the blood of saints and prophets. Even so, those that follow them are part of them.
]

The Fourth Vial

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.
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.

[
Note:
This plague is the only plague that it unique to the end time. All of the plagues of the end time are the same as the plagues poured out on Egypt at the time of Moses except this one.

Our GOD is a Consuming FIRE.

Hebrews 12:29  For our God is a consuming fire.

Revelation 11:3  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Revelation 11:4  These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Revelation 11:5  And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Revelation 11:6  These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

This is the two edged Sword of TRUTH. To scorch them with FIRE means to scorch them with TRUTH. It will be the same as heaping hot coals on their heads. In this manner will they die a Spiritual death.

Revelation 1:16  And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

Romans 12:19  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:20  Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Romans 12:21  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

But make sure you realize that what you feed your enemy is TRUTH, and what you give him to drink is The Living Water. If they will not listen, what they end up with is the Iron Rod discipline of the fiery furnace of the Millennium.

And why didn’t these people repent and give GOD glory? The answer is because they believe what they were doing is right. They believe that the devil is GOD because the devil is doing miracles in their sight and making peace as well as making everyone prosper. They did not have a love for the TRUTH, so they fall away to satan believing that he is CHRIST.

The Fifth Vial

Revelation 16:10  And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat G2362 of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; G4656 and they gnawed G3145 their tongues G100 for pain, G4192

[
Note:
And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the “throne” of the beast; and his kingdom was “blinded”; and they “chewed” their “language or understanding” “due to” their “anguish”.

In other words, they could not understand because they worship the beast.

G2362
θρόνος
thronos
thron'-os
From θράω thraō (to sit); a stately seat (“throne”); by implication power or (concretely) a potentate: - seat, throne.

G4656
σκοτόω
skotoō
skot-o'-o
From G4655; to obscure or blind (literally or figuratively): - be full of darkness.

G3145
μασσάομαι
massaomai
mas-sah'-om-ahee
From a primary word μάσσω massō (to handle or squeeze); to chew: - gnaw.

G1100
γλῶσσα
glōssa
gloce'-sah
Of uncertain affinity; the tongue; by implication a language (specifically one naturally unacquired): - tongue.

G1537
ἐκ, ἐξ
ek    ex
ek, ex
A primary preposition denoting origin (the point whence motion or action proceeds), from, out (of place, time or cause; literally or figuratively; direct or remote): - after, among, X are, at betwixt (-yond), by (the means of), exceedingly, (+ abundantly above), for (-th), from (among, forth, up), + grudgingly, + heartily, X heavenly, X hereby, + very highly, in, . . . ly, (because, by reason) of, off (from), on, out among (from, of), over, since, X thenceforth, through, X unto, X vehemently, with (-out). Often used in composition, with the same general import; often of completion.

G4192
πόνος
ponos
pon'-os
From the base of G3993; toil, that is, (by implication) anguish: - pain.
]

Revelation 16:11  And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

[
Note:
In other words, they blasphemed GOD by worshiping satan. And they did this because they chew on their deception. They don’t repent because they think they are worshiping GOD. Again, this happens because they don’t have a love for the TRUTH and therefore fall away to satan and worship him as CHRIST.

Read all of 2nd Thessalonians chapter two.
]

The Sixth Vial

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.

[
Note:
The Manuscripts do not say “kings of the east”, but says “those of the rising sun”. Those of the rising sun means satan and his ten fallen angel kings. I have said that this is related to the locust army swarming from Babylon into Israel before, but this happens also during these times. What is important is that the Euphrates river separates Iraq from Israel. Iraq is ancient Babylon. Babylon means “confusion”. When the dividing line is removed (Symbolically being the Euphrates dries up), it is symbolic of the devil moving into Israel (Jerusalem). According to 2nd Thessalonians chapter two, that is where satan sets up his throne.

Here is the sixth seal. This is where the angels are cast out of Heaven onto the earth along with satan as written in Revelation chapter twelve.

Revelation 6:12  And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Revelation 6:13  And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

Here is the sixth trump. This is where the four angels bound in the Euphrates are loosed. This also indicates the coming of the antichrist. Notice also, as I have mentioned before, that the locust army swarms at this time also. The locust army appears at the fifth trump, but they swarm into Israel when the dividing line (the Euphrates) is symbolically removed. You can read about the locust army in the book of Joel.

Revelation 9:13  And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Revelation 9:14  Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Revelation 9:15  And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Revelation 9:16  And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Revelation 9:17  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Revelation 9:18  By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

The fire, smoke and brimstone that proceeds out of their mouths is deception. You can count the number of the beast (666) by knowing that the devil arrives at the 6th seal, the 6th trump, and the 6th vial.
]

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.

[
Note:
All three of these entities are roles played by the same entity. The dragon is the destroyer of souls. The beast is his one world system of deception. The false prophet is the same dragon disguising himself as CHRIST, but he is anti (instead of) CHRIST.

Revelation 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Revelation 13:1  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Revelation 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Revelation 9:11  And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, G3 but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. G623

The name is given in two languages, so there is no mistaking his identification.

G3
Ἀβαδδών
Abaddōn
ab-ad-dohn'
Of Hebrew origin [H11]; a destroying angel: - Abaddon.

G623
Ἀπολλύων
Apolluōn
ap-ol-loo'-ohn
Active participle of G622; a destroyer (that is, Satan): - Apollyon.

The frog is symbolic of uncleanness. Three lying (deceiving) spirits coming out of the mouth. Speaking lies, saying that satan is GOD. That is blasphemy. And the people will believe it because they did not accept the love of the TRUTH.
]

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.

[
Note:
Revelation 9:17  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Revelation 9:18  By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Revelation 9:19  For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

The breastplate of a Levite priest has twelve stones. These have breastplates of the devil. Horses are symbolic of war and power, but the heads of these horses were as the heads of lions. True Judah (The True Jews) have a symbol of The Lion. These that control (heads) have the symbol of the fake lion. See the two churches that JESUS is happy with at the end time. They are Smyrna and Philadelphia (Revelation 2:9 and 3:9). JESUS is happy with them because they know who those are who say they are Jews and are not, but are of the synagogue of satan.

The deception comes out of their mouths. Their fire is the fake fire (they disguise themselves as angels of light and claim to be of GOD). The smoke is dulling the people’s spirit, they can’t see through the lies. The brimstone is judgment. They fall away to satan because they have no love for the TRUTH. They are deceived. Their tails (deception) were like unto serpents (deceivers), and what they hurt are the souls of those deceived.

Revelation 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Note: Two horns like a lamb (disguising himself as CHRIST). Speaks as a dragon because he is the dragon.

Revelation 13:12  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Revelation 13:13  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Revelation 13:14  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Revelation 13:15  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
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:
Revelation 13:17  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Revelation 13:18  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Note: And don’t let that “number of a man” fool you. See 2nd Thessalonians chapter two; the devil is the man of sin. And learn the difference between man in the flesh and man as an angel. See the post: “What Kind Of Man Is GOD?”.
]

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.

[
Note:
JESUS returns as a Thief in the night. As a thief because no one is expecting HIM (except the election) because they think HE is already here. The only thing that we can take with us when we leave this flesh life is our righteous acts (righteousness means doing what is right). It is what our clothing in Heaven is weaved from (that fine white linen). The fallen angels strip the great whore naked. The great whore are those who should have been the Bride of CHRIST, but instead became the bride of satan because they had no love of the TRUTH. Any righteous act the whore has ever done will be stripped from her. She will be naked (shameful) in Heaven. Be a watchman, and know the TRUTH. The devil arrives at the sixth seal, the sixth trump, and the sixth vial, and disguises himself as GOD in the form of CHRIST. The TRUE CHRIST does not return until the Seventh Trump. Don’t be deceived by satan.
]

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

[
Note:
Armageddon means “the gathering place of the crowd”. There is a type of this battle in Judges chapter five. Debra (a female) had to lead the battle for Israel because there was not a man fit to do the job. Debra is a type of the TRUE CHURCH, The TRUE Bride of CHRIST, which is GOD’S election. GOD will make HIS enemies HIS footstool, and HE will do that using HIS election. Armageddon is a specific location in Judges chapter five, but at the end time this place is Jerusalem. The devil sets up his throne in Jerusalem at the end time, and this is where that battle will take place. These people are actually going to try and battle against GOD ALMIGHTY. It’s my opinion that this battle will likely last for just a few minutes, if that. Then there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, as The LORD’S Day begins. The Great Day of GOD ALMIGHTY is The LORD’S Day, which we call The Millennium.
]

The Seventh Vial

Revelation 16:17  And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; G109 and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

[
Note:
This is the point in time that JESUS returns. The seventh seal, the seventh trump, and the seventh vial.

Revelation 8:1  And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
Revelation 8:2  And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
Revelation 8:3  And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
Revelation 8:4  And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
Revelation 8:5  And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

Revelation 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 11:16  And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Revelation 11:17  Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
Revelation 11:18  And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Revelation 11:19  And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

Notice that the “air” is the spirit, as in the breath of Life spirit. And what spirit was this vial poured out upon?

Ephesians 2:1  And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Ephesians 2:2  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, G109 the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

G109
ἀήρ
aēr
ah-ayr'
From ἄημι aēmi (to breathe unconsciously, that is, respire; by analogy to blow); “air” (as naturally circumambient): - air. Compare G5594.
]

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.

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.

[
Note:
The cup of wrath is poured out and the end of the age is in progress.
]

Revelation 16:20  And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

[
Note:
The old way is gone. Mountains are nations. The nations are not found. Now is The LORD’S Day. There is ONE KING.
]

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.

[
Note:
GOD uses HIS creation, nature to perform many of the things that HE does. A talent can be from one hundred to one hundred and eighty pounds depending on when it was designated in history. Either way, a hailstone that size will pulverize anything that it hits. But not to worry, GOD is not angry at you. And any plague that GOD sends will be delivered with precision accuracy. It won’t touch you. Many will be put into their spirit bodies by these hailstones. But you and I? We will not likely notice as we change into our spirit bodies. We will be changed into our spirit bodies in the blink of an eye as written in 1st Corinthians chapter fifteen.
]

This concludes chapter sixteen of the book of Revelation. In chapter seventeen we will cover the great whore.
