Lesson 25   (continued)

The Second Angel

The oceans are next to be targeted (Revelation 16:3).  The second angel pours out his fiery bowl on the sea. 

6. What becomes of the fish and all ocean creatures? What will likely be the result to sea travel and increase of disease on Planet Earth?

 

The oceans will cough up every imaginable creature, and the stench will no doubt grow unbearable. Ships will be halted from the putrid and poisoning dangers.  Beaches will be lined with decaying carcasses, and as the winds and waves increase, the contaminate will be poured even further inland.  Words cannot ably describe the oceans of death that will cover the globe, as the once tame ecological system spirals out of control.

7. How did Jesus describe the fear and anguish at the roaring and tossing of the sea at THE END (Luke 21:25-26)?

 

 

The Third Angel

Revelation 16:4-7 exposes the work of the third angel of destruction.  He pours out his bowl on the rivers and fresh water sources around the planet. 

8. How long can mankind live with tainted water or without water altogether?

 

Water is the primary source that sustains life.  One can live without food for an extended time, but water is a necessity. Man's life can be measured in mere days.  Water will be more valuable than gold (James 5:1-9).

9. With water scarce and survival utmost, what will individual attitudes be towards one another (Matthew 10:34-36; 24:10)?

 

There will be fights to death over a few drops of water in those days.  

10. The angel of the waters gives glory to God because He judges mankind righteously.  In light of the terrible devastation upon our planet and mankind, how can God be justified by His decision to act (v. 6)?

 

Almighty judges mankind for the martyrdom of His saints and prophets.  He sent His prophets to forewarn and teach through His Word, the messages of truth.  In the last days, many saints will take hold of the testimony of Jesus and proclaim with a loud voice that God's kingdom is at hand, and the prophetic warnings will be broadcast with Biblical evidence provided.  A "great multitude" of righteous from all nations will stand firm until the end, even unto death.  Those who will not listen to their counsel must pay for their hatred and slaughter of God's messengers.  They shed the blood of saints and prophets, so they will then be given blood and only blood to drink.

11. What city has been foremost in killing God's messengers through the centuries and during the last days (Matthew 23:34-38), whose desolation is prophesied?

 

12. In Revelation 6:9-11 the martyrs who gave their lives at the altar of sacrifice cried, "How long… until You judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?"   What are the martyrs' words upon seeing the work of the third angel (Revelation 16:7)?

 

 

The Fourth Angel

13. The fourth angel will pour his fiery coals upon earth's source of light (Revelation 16:8-9). What is the result?

 

Earth's temperature will rise as men and women are scorched from the suffocating heat.  Burnt skin will, without a doubt, welt into painful blisters as the wicked taste of the fiery demise soon to overtake all of them.  In agony, they blaspheme God, but there is no repentance in their souls.  Their hearts have been hardened, unresponsive to the Son's light and grace.

 

The Fifth Angel

14. Revelation 16:10-11 describes the fifth angel's attack on the seat of the beast.  According to Daniel 11:45 and 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, where does Antichrist sit, that brings about God's wrath and THE END?

 

Jerusalem's desolation is complete.  Darkness pursues it.  This pestilence of blackness adds to the pains and sores as temperatures plummet, but still they remain unrepentant.

 

The Sixth Angel

The sixth angel dries up the river Euphrates with his fiery bowl of wrath, so that the kings of the east can make their way westward.  The sixth trumpet also mentions the angels at the river Euphrates, who will lead millions of soldiers to great battle.  

15. What nations are east of Israel that would likely be part of the last remnant of the world's governments?

 

Many Eastern Asian countries including China, Japan and a host of nations will likely emerge from the east, marching to combat.  Russia, a northeastern country, will also be considered a part of the masses of armies heading to the Middle East.

16. Why will they be gathering to Israel, according to Revelation 16:16?

 

17. How will Antichrist feel about the menaces from the east and north, which threatens his newfound royal site in Jerusalem, just before he is slain (Daniel 11:44-45)?
