Session #10 - Seven Bowls of Wrath - Bible Verse Hand Book
Session 10 Seven Bowls of Wrath (Rev. 15-16) I. INTRODUCTION TO THE SEVEN BOWLS OF WRATH (REV. 15:1-16:21) A. 15The seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord…and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Rev. 11:15) B. Paul prophesied that the rapture would occur at the last trumpet 51Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed [the rapture]. (1 Cor. 15:51-52) Paul’s “last trumpet” is the seventh trumpet mentioned in Revelation 7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.” (Rev.10:7) 15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices
in heaven, which said: C. Jesus called His people “to see” the abomination of desolation and then pointed to the prophesies of Daniel to understand it 15“When you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16“then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains…21then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been.” (Mt. 24:15-21) 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. (2 Thes. 2:4) 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf
of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It
ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded
by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power
to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image
could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be
killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and
poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or
on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless
they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number
of its name. 1. Daniel prophesied that the abomination of desolation would last for 1,290 days (43 months). 11From the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days [1,290 days]. (Dan. 12:11) D. Notice that John’s 1,260 days (42 months) are 30 days short of Daniel’s time period. John highlighted three activities that would continue for exactly 1,260 days (42 months). 1. Provision: 6 The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. (Rev. 12:6, 14) 2. Prophecy: 3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” (Rev. 11:3) 3. Persecution: 25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time. (Dan. 7:25) 5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world (Rev. 13:5-8) Oppress Jerusalem 2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. (Rev. 11:2) 7 The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.” (Dan. 12:7) F. After the 1,260 days (42 months, or 3½ years) of the abomination of desolation, the seventh trumpet will sound, the Church will be raptured. 15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices
in heaven, which said: The Antichrist’s unchallenged domination of Jerusalem will come to an end. 14 They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.” (Rev. 17:14) 11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. (Rev. 19:11, 19) G. Jesus will pour out the bowls of wrath on the Antichrist
in the 43rd month H. The resisters are the unsaved survivors of the Great Tribulation 3 Those who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem. (Isa. 4:3) 20 In that day the remnant of Israel, 11 In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean. (Isa. 11:11) 6 He says: 19 “I will set a sign among them, and I will send some of those who survive to the nations—to Tarshish, to the Libyans[b] and Lydians (famous as archers), to Tubal and Greece, and to the distant islands that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory. They will proclaim my glory among the nations. (Isa. 66:19) 2 This is what the LORD says: 38 I will purge you of those who revolt and rebel against me. Although
I will bring them out of the land where they are living, yet they
will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am
the LORD. 36 Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the LORD have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. I the LORD have spoken, and I will do it.’ (Ezek. 36:36) “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. (Dan. 12:1) 32 And everyone who calls 8 In the whole land,” declares the LORD, 16 Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. (Zech. 14:16) II. JESUS’ ROYAL PROCESSION: THREE STAGES A. Stage 1: Jesus’ procession across the sky to rapture the Church 31And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet,
and they will gather [rapture] together His elect [saints]
from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. (Rev. 1:7) Stage 2: Jesus’ procession on the land, marching through Edom (Jordan) to Israel 1 Who is this who comes from Edom [modern Jordan], with dyed garments from Bozrah [ancient capital of Edom], this One [Jesus] who is glorious in His apparel, traveling in the greatness of His strength?—“I [Jesus] who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.” 2 Why is Your apparel red, and Your garments like one who treads in the winepress? 3 “I have trodden the winepress… and trampled them in My fury; their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, and I have stained all My robes. 4 For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come.” (Isa. 63:1-4) 3 Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one; 5 The Lord is at your right hand; Stage 3: Jesus’ procession into Jerusalem followed by His coronation 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. (Zech. 14:4) 7 Lift up your heads, you gates; 39“You shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’” (Mt. 23:39) The sign: Jesus will come with all the angels and saints from heaven 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. (Mt. 25:31) 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones. (1 Thes. 3:13) 27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done. (Mt. 16:27) 26 “At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. (Mk. 13:26) 6 God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you
7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This
will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing
fire with his powerful angels. 8 He will punish those who do not
know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will
be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence
of the Lord and from the glory of his might 10 on the day he comes
to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all
those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed
our testimony to you. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe
that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are
still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly
not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself
will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice
of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead
in Christ will rise first. E. Jesus will show Himself as the “greater Moses” 16 There will be a highway for the remnant of his people 13 And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem. (Isa. 27:13) 11 They will come from Egypt, 10 I will bring them back from Egypt III. THE HEAVENLY CONTEXT OF THE RELEASE OF THE BOWLS OF WRATH (REV. 15) A. John saw end-time believers, victorious over the Antichrist. 1 I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. 2 I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the Beast [Antichrist]…standing on the sea of glass… 3 They sing the song of Moses…and the song of the Lamb,
saying: “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints…4 For all
nations shall… worship before You, for Your judgments have
been manifested.” 7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.” (Rev. 10:7) 15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices
in heaven, which said: B. The temple opened in heaven, and seven angels received seven
bowls of wrath IV. THE SEVEN BOWLS OF GOD’S WRATH (REV. 16): THE FIRST FIVE BOWLS A. The seven angels will be commissioned in the heavenly temple to pour out the bowls of wrath. 1 I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.” (Rev. 16:1) B. First bowl (sores): 2 The first went and poured out his bowl…and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast [Antichrist]. (Rev. 16:2) C. Second bowl (food supply): Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died. (Rev. 16:3) D. Third bowl (water supply): 4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. 5 I heard the angel of the waters saying: “You are righteous, O Lord…because You have judged these things. 6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.” 7 I heard another from the altar [heavenly intercession] saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.” (Rev. 16:4-7) The third trumpet is similar to the third bowl in that it defiles the drinking water. 10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— (Rev. 8:10) The first plague on Egypt struck the Nile with a similar impact to this 19 The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your
staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt—over
the streams and canals, over the ponds and all the reservoirs—and
they will turn to blood.’ Blood will be everywhere in Egypt,
even in vessels[a] of wood and stone.” E. Fourth bowl (torment): 8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was
given to him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with
great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over
these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory. F. Fifth bowl (darkness): 10The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast,
and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues
because of the pain. 11They blasphemed God…because of their
pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds. The ninth plague of Egypt caused darkness for three days 21 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness spreads over Egypt—darkness that can be felt.” 22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days. 23 No one could see anyone else or move about for three days. Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lived. (Ex. 10:21-23) G. The Antichrist’s worshipers will not repent, but will blaspheme God 9 They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him. 11 and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done. 21 From the sky huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds,[a] fell on people. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible. (Rev. 16:9, 11, 21) V. SIXTH BOWL: DEMONS LURE THE NATIONS TO ARMAGEDDON A. Sixth bowl (global guilt): 12The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. 13I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon [Satan], out of the mouth of the beast [Antichrist], and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14They are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth…to gather them to the Battle of that great day of God Almighty… 16They gathered them together to…Armageddon. (Rev. 16:12-16) B. 14These [the 10 kings] will make war with the Lamb...for He is…King of kings (Rev. 17:14) 19I saw the beast [Antichrist], the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him [Jesus]…and against His army. (Rev. 19:19) B. The kings of the nations will see the sign of the Son of Man in the sky 30The sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven…all the tribes of the earth will mourn… they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds...with power and great glory. (Mt. 24:30) E. The Pharisees accused Jesus of doing miracles by Satan’s power 24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.” (Mt. 12:24) 32“Whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.” (Mt. 12:32) F. I see the sixth bowl as global blasphemy against the Spirit as the nations receive “the lie” 9 The coming of the lawless one [Antichrist]…with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10and with all unrighteous deception…because they did not receive the love of the truth…11For this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie. (2 Thes. 2:9-11) VI. SEVENTH BOWL: EARTHQUAKES AND HAILSTONES A. Seventh bowl (annihilation): 17…poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice...
from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18...there was
a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not
occurred since men were on the earth. 19Now the great city [Jerusalem]
was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell.
And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup
of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. 20Then every island
fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21And great hail from
heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent
[100 pounds]. Men blasphemed God… C. This last earthquake will cause islands to flee (sink in the ocean) and the mountains to fall 20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.
D. A 100-pound hailstone hits the ground with the equivalent
force of two tons. 7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. (Rev. 8:7) The seventh plague on Egypt with Moses 23 When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt; 24 hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation. (Ex. 9:23-24) 22I will bring him [Antichrist] to judgment…I will rain down on…his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. (Ezek. 38:22) D. The next event after the seven bowls is Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. 11Behold, a white horse. He [Jesus] who sat on him…judges
and makes war…13He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood…19I
saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered
together to make war against Him…20Then the beast was captured,
and…cast alive into the lake of fire…21The rest were
killed with the sword…
