THE FIRST THREE BOWLS OF GOD’S JUDGMENT

 

Then I heard a Loud Voice

From the Temple Saying

To the Seven Angels,

“Go, Pour Out the Seven Bowls

OF GOD’S WRATH ON THE EARTH.”

2 The First Angel Went

And Poured Out his Bowl on the Land,

And Ugly Sores Broke Out on the People

WHO HAD THE MARK OF THE BEAST

AND WORSHIPED ITS IMAGE.

3 The Second Angel

Poured Out his Bowl on the Sea.,

And it Turned into Blood

Like that of a Dead Person,

AND EVERY LIVING THING

IN THE SEA DIED.

4 The Third Angel

Poured Out his Bowl

On the Rivers and Springs of Water,

AND THEY BECAME BLOOD.

5 Then I heard the Angel

In Charge of the Waters Say:

“You are Just in these Judgments,

O Holy One,

You Who are and Who were;

6 FOR THEY HAVE SHED THE BLOOD

OF YOUR HOLY PEOPLE

AND YOUR PROPHETS,

And You have Given them Blood to Drink

AS THEY DESERVE.”

7 And I heard the Altar Respond:

“YES LORD GOD ALMIGHTY

TRUE AND JUST ARE YOUR JUDGMENTS.”

(Revelation 16:1-7, NIV)
