The Seven Bowls

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying ^(A)to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the ^[a]bowls ^(B)of the wrath of God on the earth.”

A Faithful Remnant^(A)

Prelude to the Bowl Judgments

15 Then ^(A)I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: ^(B)seven angels having the seven last plagues, ^(C)for in them the wrath of God is complete.

Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken

¹⁷ Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, ^(A)“It is done!”

First Bowl: Loathsome Sores

² So the first went and poured out his bowl ^(A)upon the earth, and a ^[a]foul and ^(B)loathsome sore came upon the men ^(C)who had the mark of the beast and those ^(D)who worshiped his image.

Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood

³ Then the second angel poured out his bowl ^(E)on the sea, and ^(F)it became blood as of a dead man; ^(G)and every living creature in the sea died.

Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood

⁴ Then the third angel poured out his bowl ^(H)on the rivers and springs of water, ^(I)and they became blood. ⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying:

⁷ And I heard ^[e]another from the altar saying, “Even so, ^(O)Lord God Almighty, ^(P)true and righteous are Your judgments.”

Fourth Bowl: Men Are Scorched

⁸ Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl ^(Q)on the sun, ^(R)and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. ⁹ And men were scorched with great heat, and they ^(S)blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; ^(T)and they did not repent ^(U)and give Him glory.

Fifth Bowl: Darkness and Pain

¹⁰ Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl ^(V)on the throne of the beast, ^(W)and his kingdom became full of darkness; ^(X)and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. ¹¹ They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

Sixth Bowl: Euphrates Dried Up

¹² Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl ^(Y)on the great river Euphrates, ^(Z)and its water was dried up, ^(AA)so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.

⁵ After these things I looked, and ^[a]behold, ^(A)the ^[b]temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. ⁶ And out of the ^[c]temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, ^(B)clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands. ^7 (C)Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God ^(D)who lives forever and ever. ^8 (E)The temple was filled with smoke ^(F)from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

⁴¹ The Son of Man will send out His angels, ^(A)and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, ^42 (B)and will cast them into the furnace of fire. ^(C)There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
