And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon (A)the sun, (B)and it was given power to scorch people with fire. And the people were scorched with [a]fierce heat; and they (C)blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they (D)did not repent so as to (E)give Him glory.

10 And the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the (F)throne of the beast, and his kingdom became (G)darkened; and they gnawed their tongues because of pain, 11 and they (H)blasphemed the (I)God of heaven because of their pain and their (J)sores; and they (K)did not repent of their deeds.

12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the (L)great river, the Euphrates; and (M)its water was dried up, so that (N)the way would be prepared for the kings (O)from the [b]east.

Har-Magedon (Armageddon)

13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the (P)dragon, and out of the mouth of the (Q)beast, and out of the mouth of the (R)false prophet, three (S)unclean spirits like (T)frogs; 14 for they are (U)spirits of demons, (V)performing signs, which go out to the kings of the (W)entire [c]world, to (X)gather them together for the war of the (Y)great day of God, the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, (Z)I am coming like a thief. (AA)Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, (AB)so that he will not walk about naked and people will not see his shame.”) 16 And they (AC)gathered them together to the place which (AD)in Hebrew is called (AE)Har-Magedon.

The Seventh Bowl of Wrath

17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon (AF)the air, and a (AG)loud voice came out of the [d](AH)temple from the throne, saying, “(AI)It is done.” 18 And there were flashes of (AJ)lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was (AK)a great earthquake, (AL)such as there had not been since mankind came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. 19 (AM)The great city [e]was split into three parts, and the cities of the [f]nations fell. (AN)Babylon the great was (AO)remembered in the sight of God, to give her (AP)the cup of the wine of [g]His fierce wrath. 20 And (AQ)every island fled, and no mountains were found. 21 And (AR)huge [h]hailstones, weighing about [i]a talent each, *came down from heaven upon people; and people (AS)blasphemed God because of the (AT)plague of the hail, because [j]the hailstone plague *was extremely [k]severe.
