Rev 7 - Seven Plagues from Seven Bowls

Part 7: Seven Plagues from Seven Bowls
Revelation 15 and 16
 
Galatians 6:1-10
The seven plagues of God’s wrath usher in the era of mankind’s last chance.
The 1st bowl = plague of malignant sores  (compare Exodus 9:10)
The 2nd bowl = plague of seas and oceans turn to blood               (compare Exodus 7:19)
The 3rd bowl = plague of poisoned rivers and springs
The 4th bowl = Humanity scorched with great heat  (Genesis 9:13-15)
The 5th bowl = Darkness and constant pain  (compare Exodus 10:22-23)
The 6th bowl = The Euphrates River dries up  (compare Isaiah 11:15)
    • Preparation for war and access to the battlefield
    • Three demon frogs – recruiters
    • Armageddon – i.e. "mountain of Megiddo"
The 7th bowl = Thunder / Lightning / Earthquake / Hail (compare Exodus 9:22-23)
God’s judgment is not capricious or arbitrary. It is called for because God is just. However, these plagues give humanity one last chance to repent and change from their selfish ways.
