(M85) 1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple(207), saying to the
seven angels, Go ye, and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into
the earth.
(M86) 2 And the first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth; and it
became(208) a noisome and grievous sore upon the men that had the mark of
the beast, and that worshipped(209) his image.
(M87) 3 And the second poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became
blood as of a dead man; and every living soul(210) died, _even_ the things
that were in the sea.
(M88) 4 And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the
fountains of the waters; and it became(211) blood. 5 And I heard the angel
of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, who art and who wast, thou Holy
One, because thou didst thus judge: 6 for they poured out the blood of
saints and prophets(212), and blood hast thou given them to drink: they
are worthy. 7 And I heard the altar saying, Yea, O Lord God, the Almighty,
true and righteous are thy judgments.
(M89) 8 And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given
unto it(213) to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great
heat: and they blasphemed the name of God who hath the power over these
plagues; and they repented not to give him glory.
(M90) 10 And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast;
and his kingdom was darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11
and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their
sores; and they repented not of their works.
(M91) 12 And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river, the
_river_ Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might
be made ready for the kings that _come_ from the sunrising.
5b The Episode of the Frog‐like Spirits (An Intervening Vision of Warning
to the Redeemed)
(M92) 13 And I saw _coming_ out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the
mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three
unclean spirits, as it were frogs: 14 for they are spirits of demons,
working signs; which go forth unto(214) the kings of the whole world(215),
to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the
Almighty.
(M93) 15 (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and
keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame).
The Gathering at Har‐Magedon 16 And they gathered them together into the
place which is called in Hebrew Har‐Magedon(216).
(M94) 17 And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air; and there came
forth a great voice out of the temple(217), from the throne, saying, It is
done: 18 and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there
was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men(218) upon the
earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty. 19 And the great city was
divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations(219) fell: and
Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give unto her the
cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20 And every island fled
away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And great hail, _every stone_
about the weight of a talent, cometh down out of heaven upon men: and men
blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof
is exceeding great.
