Peace and greeting from Bible Study Ministry.com, a Bible study ministry teaching and sharing the Word of Jesus with you. We share with the intent of increasing you with the Word of Jesus as it reads from the pages of the Bible.

We’re glad you’re back for another study. Currently, we are doing a study of the book of Revelation and we are in chapter 16 today! Please follow along below:

Revelation 16 Bible Study Reading

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.

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.

Here comes the pouring of the vials of the wrath of God, and when the first was poured a noisome grievous sore fell on men and women who took the mark of the beast in their forehead and right hand. Also the same happened to those people who worshiped the beasts’ image.

This means we all need to take a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and even eighth look at what really is this mark of the beast (Read Revelation 13 for edification).

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

The second angel’s vial was a poisonous vial that killed every living soul in the sea.

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

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.

6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 

The blood poured in the sea was also for the rivers and fountains of waters. It was so bad that the angel had to remember that Jesus is righteously doing this to the wicked because they have shed the blood of saints and prophets all through the generations; therefore they are being given the blood they have shed to drink.

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

8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

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. 

The fourth angel poured out his vial for all the sun worshipers and gave the sun power to scorch men with fire and heat. The scorching was so bad and intense, men blasphemed the name of God; the same God delivering the plagues for their sinful nature, and these men and women blaspheme instead of repent.

10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

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

The fifth vial was poured onto the head of the beast, the kingdom was full of darkness and pain. Again men blasphemed the LORD because of the pain but refused to repent.  A simple apology would do wonders right now, but because of an evil heart, they do not even have it in them to repent.

12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 

The sixth vial allowed the kings of the east (Russia and her allies) to come across the great Euphrates for the big war. This is going to be a terrible war, one in which the God of Israel will have to stop or interrupt in order for mankind not to exterminate every man alive. You can understand how harsh the kings of the east will be by reading Joel chapter 2 and verse 3

Joel 2 v3:

3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. 

A beautiful garden before them, however when they finish there is nothing left but a desolate wilderness, and no one will escape these troops. They will turn everything upside down before they leave. Raping women, mothers, daughters, and every kind of evil you can think of. Jerusalem at this time is not the “hangout,” it is not the place to be.

-Return 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.

14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 

The angel witnessed three unclean spirits leaping out of the mouth of the dragon, his beast, and his false prophet-like frogs. This was their conversation to initiate a full-out war against the kings of the east. This will bring them together to the battle of the ages; one in which they will end up fighting against the God of Heaven, Jesus.

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. 

Jesus warns up to watch and keep our minds clean and ready unless we walk around naked, meaning not clothe with the Word of Jesus, the Word of knowledge.

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

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

Now when Jesus gathers them in the Armageddon, the seventh angel pours out his vial and a great voice says “IT IS DONE.”

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.

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. 

If you recall back in Revelation chapter 11, specifically in verse 13, a great earthquake occurred killing seven thousand people in Jerusalem. This is that earthquake from a different angle. The great city of Jerusalem was divided into three parts. The Lord had to put the false prophet on an aisle by himself to deal with him and the beast.

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

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. 

Again in Revelation 11 verse 19, they mention great hail, well here we get a detailed description of the hail and stone dropping by the God of Israel, Jesus. God is destroying Jerusalem and clearing it out. This is a demolition to clear out and rebuild after the great war first.

We have to prepare our houses for this madness that is coming up in the coming years. For people running to Jerusalem now, when the false prophet is installed in the coming temple and stops the newly restarted animal sacrifices ritual; Jerusalem will be truly run by the Gentiles for 42 months.

This is not the time to transition to living in the Promised Land. The reason is that Jesus will make that land a burden for anyone attempting to claim it. This will begin with the abomination of desolation, and then that is followed by Jesus and His plagues and vials. Wait on the Almighty God, Jesus!
