The Seven Vials of Revelation
Greetings and welcome back my friend. Got that Bible out and checking
scriptures I hope. Now that the believers are safe in Heaven, it is
time to pour out the wrath of God on those on the Earth which chose
not to believe in Jesus and/or accepted the mark and/or worshiped
Antichrist and his image.
We will begin looking into the Seven Vials of Revelation which is the
most horrible time from the creation of earth to date. Terrible
events that one cannot fathom. The absolutely horrible events that
occur during the Seven Vials of Revelation which is the Wrath of God
will bring forth tears and fears and complete devastation.
Revelation 16:1-2
1 And I heard a great voice out of the Temple saying to
the seven Angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath
of God upon the earth.
2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the
earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which
had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
Followers of Antichrist get foul and loathsome sores all over their body.
Revelation 16:3
And the second Angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became
as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
All oceans become as blood.
Revelation 16:4-7
4 And the third Angel poured out his vial upon the rivers
and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the Angel of the waters say, Thou art
righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou
hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of Saints and Prophets, and
thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord
God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
All freshwater becomes as blood.
Revelation 16:8-9
8 And the fourth Angel poured out his vial upon the sun;
and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed
the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they
repented not to give Him glory.
The sun's heat scorches men.
Revelation 16:10-11
10 And the fifth Angel poured out his vial upon the seat
of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed
their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains
and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Darkness and pain on Earth. Mankind will gnaw their tongues off in pain.
Revelation 16:12-14
12 And the sixth Angel poured out his vial upon the great
river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of
the kings of the east might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of
the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out
of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles,
which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to
gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Next, we see the Seven Vials of Revelation being the Wrath of God
reveal the Euphrates River dries up and the kings of the East are
able to cross it as to battle. Three unclean spirits come out of
Satan, Antichrist and the false prophet and they go to the
kings of the earth to gather them to battle against God in a
place called Armageddon:
Revelation 16:16
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew
tongue Armageddon.
The Last of the Seven Vials of Revelation
Revelation 16:17
And the seventh Angel poured out his vial into the air; and there
came a great voice out of the Temple of Heaven, from the throne,
saying, It is done.
In this last vial of the Seven Vials of Revelation, a great voice
says ... It is done. Voices, thundering and the biggest
earthquake ever since mankind was on Earth will occur. The
Wrath of God.
Babylon Destroyed
Revelation 16:19
And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of
the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God,
to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.
After the Seven Vials of Revelation were shared ... It says that God
remembered Babylon and it was time to judge it.
In Revelation, Chapter 17, we learn of a new entity that will be a
part of the End Times. It is the great whore that sits upon many
waters. One of the Angels which were pouring out the seven vials of
Revelation shares of this new entity.
Revelation 17:1
And there came one of the seven Angels which had the Seven Vials, and
talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee
the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
With whom the worldly people indulged in her ways.
Revelation 17:2
With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the
inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her
fornication.
So, one of the Angels which had the Seven Vials of the Wrath of God
said that this entity sits atop of a beast with seven heads and 10
horns (Antichrist's Empire) and is arrayed in purple and red
and is decked with jewels and wealth.
On her head is written:
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF
HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
But who is this woman? We are given every clue necessary to figure
out who she is in Chapters 17 and 18. We will begin our quest to
solve this "mystery".
Revelation 17:3-4
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness:
and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of
blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,
and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden
cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her
fornication:
This place will "ride on" Antichrist's Empire.
Revelation 17:4
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked
with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her
hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
This place's colors are purple and red.
Revelation 17:6
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the Saints, and with
the blood of the Martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered
with great admiration.
It's a place that killed many Christians.
Revelation 17:9
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven
mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
This place sits upon 7 mountains.
Revelation 17:15
And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore
sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
This place controls different nations and races.
Revelation 17:16
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate
the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her
flesh, and burn her with fire.
The 10 kings hate and burn this place in the end.
Revelation 17:17
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill His will, and to agree,
and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall
be fulfilled.
It is a great city which rules kings of the Earth.
Revelation 18:8
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and
famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the
Lord God who judgeth her.
This place is destroyed in one day with fire.
Revelation 18:12
The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of
pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all
thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels
of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
It is known for its abundant merchandise.
Revelation 18:17-19
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And
every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as
many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning,
saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping
and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made
rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for
in one hour is she made desolate.
This place is a sea port.
Now, as I ponder on the Wrath of God clues that we have been provided to solve our
"mystery" ... Many things continue to disturb me. Babylon is the
ancient name for modern day Iraq. However, it was not really a place
well known for its killing of Christians. Remember that Christians
did not come about until after Jesus and Iraq was not known for
killing Christians at the time that John shared this prophecy.
Babylon (Iraq) does not sit on seven mountains or hills, it does not
control different nations and races nor rule kings of the Earth. It
is not known for the merchandise mentioned in Chapter 18 and is not
a sea port. The thing that bothers me most, is why the writer
would say, "Mystery" Babylon the great.
We know that John wrote this while he was imprisoned on Patmos Island
and he sent this vision to the seven Churches. Perhaps he had to talk
in riddles as to not have the Roman officials confiscate his writings
because he mentioned them.
I know Babylon (Iraq) does not fit this bill. No wonder he used the word mystery.
But, I do know of a place that fits the description ... Very well.
Rome / The Vatican
It will be a part of Antichrist's empire, as we found out earlier.
Its colors are purple and red, It has the most blood of
the Martyrs of Jesus. They crucified and beheaded most of the
Apostles and Martyrs there. As a matter of fact, they used to have
these arenas where the Romans would all gather (like most countries
do at sporting events) and the hosts would have Christian children
put on sheep skins.
They would tell these Christian children that it was a game. They
opened the doors to the arena, and the Christian children would run
out with the sheepskins on, making the noises of sheep (bahhhhhhhh).
The Christian children did not know the Romans had ravenous wolves
waiting to devour them ... All for the Romans' entertainment.
It does sit on seven hills, it is the only city that controls
many nations, peoples and kings, by way of the Catholic Church,
it is known for all of the merchandise mentioned, it is
a seaport and since the writer of the Book of Revelation, wrote this
book on Patmos Island, which is a Roman prison, I guess I can see why
he would need to write the word "Mystery" as to be able to have the
vision he was given, shown to other Christians and not have it
confiscated because the Romans did not like reading of their own
doom. We should keep our eyes on Rome and the Vatican, for they seem
to fit the "mystery" woman description well ...
The Seven Vials of Revelation summary is that the wrath of God is a
dreadful and fearful thing. The wildest events are yet to come, as
you will see, as we continue our venture into ...
