Montgomery - Revelation of John - 16

16:1  Then I heard a loud voice which came out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, "Go, empty the seven bowls of the wrath of God upon the earth."

16:2  The first angel went and poured out his bowl upon the earth. And it was turned to loathsome and painful sores upon all who bore the brand of the beast, and who worshiped his image.

16:3  And the second angel poured out his bowl upon the sea; and it became blood, like the blood of a corpse, and every living creature died - everything in the sea.

16:4  And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of waters; and they were turned into blood.

16:5  And I heard the angel of the waters saying. "Righteous art thou, thou who art and wast, The Holy One, Because thou didst inflict this judgment.

16:6  For men poured out the blood of thy saints and prophets, And thou hast given them blood to drink. And this they deserved."

16:7  And I heard the altar saying, "Yea, O Lord, the Almighty, True and righteous are thy judgments."

16:8  And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and the sun was permitted to scorch men with fire.

16:9  And men were scorched with the terrible heat; and they blasphemed the name of the God who had the power over these plagues; yet they repented not, to give him glory.

16:10  And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened, and men gnawed their tongues for pain,

16:11  and they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and their sores; yet of their deeds they did not repent.

16:12  And the sixth poured his bowl upon the great river, the River Euphrates, and its water was dried up so as to make ready the way for the kings that come from the sunrising.

16:13  And I saw three unclean spirits, like frogs, coming out of the dragon’s mouth, and the beast’s mouth, and the false prophet’s mouth.

16:14  For these are the spirits of demons performing miracles, who go forth to the kings of the habitable earth, to gather them together for the battle of the great Day of God, the Almighty.

16:15  Lo, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the who is on the watch and guarding his clothing, so that he may not walk naked, and they gaze on his shame.

16:16  And the spirits gathered the kings together at the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.

16:17  And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air, and a great voice came forth out of the temple from the throne, saying, "It is finished!"

16:18  And lightnings and voices and thunders and a great earthquake such as had not happened since man began to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty;

16:19  and the great city was shattered into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and great Babylon came to mind before the face of God, to give her the cup of the wine of the passion of his anger.

16:20  And every island fled away, and the mountains sank from sight.

16:21  And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for the plague of it is very great.
