Revelation 16

The First Bowl

1Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, # 16:1 Rv 8:2,6; 15:1,6–8 “Go and pour out the seven # 16:1 Other mss omit seven bowls # 16:1 Rv 17:1; 21:9 of God’s wrath on the earth.” 2The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores # 16:2 Ex 9:9–11; Dt 28:27,35; Jb 2:7; Is 1:6; Jr 30:12–17 broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped its image.

The Second Bowl

3The second # 16:3 Other mss add angel poured out his bowl into the sea. It turned to blood like that of a dead person, and all life in the sea died. # 16:3 Rv 8:8–9

The Third Bowl

4The third # 16:4 Other mss add angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. # 16:4 Ex 7:17–21 5I heard the angel of the waters say,

You are just,

the Holy One, # 16:5 Is 5:19; 41:20; 45:11 who is and who was, # 16:5 Rv 11:17

because you have passed judgment on these things.

6Because they poured out

the blood of the saints and the prophets, # 16:6 2Kg 9:7; Mt 23:30; Lk 11:50; Rv 17:6; 18:24

you have given them blood to drink;

they deserve it! # 16:6 Is 49:26

7I heard the altar say,

Yes, Lord God, the Almighty,

true and just are your judgments. # 16:7 Ps 19:9; Rv 19:2

The Fourth Bowl

8The fourth # 16:8 Other mss add angel poured out his bowl on the sun. It was allowed to scorch people with fire, 9and people were scorched by the intense heat. So they blasphemed the name of God, # 16:9 Lv 24:11; Is 52:5; Rm 2:24; 1Tm 6:1; Rv 13:6 who has the power # 16:9 Or authority over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory. # 16:9 Rv 9:20–21

The Fifth Bowl

10The fifth # 16:10 Other mss add angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, # 16:10 Rv 2:13; 13:2 and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. # 16:10 Ex 10:21 People # 16:10 Lit They gnawed their tongues because of their pain 11and blasphemed the God of heaven # 16:11 Rv 13:6 because of their pains and their sores, but they did not repent of their works.

The Sixth Bowl

12The sixth # 16:12 Other mss add angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, # 16:12 Gn 2:14; 15:18; Dt 11:24; 1Kg 4:21; Rv 9:14 and its water was dried up # 16:12 Ex 14:21–22,29; 15:19; Jos 2:10; 4:23; 5:1; 2Kg 2:8; Neh 9:11; Is 51:10 to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs # 16:13 Ex 8:2–14; Lv 11:9–12,41–47 coming from the dragon’s mouth, # 16:13 Rv 12:9 from the beast’s mouth, # 16:13 Rv 13:1 and from the mouth of the false prophet. # 16:13 Rv 13:11–17 14For they are demonic spirits performing signs, # 16:14 2Th 2:9–10 who travel to the kings of the whole world to assemble them # 16:14 1Kg 22:20–23; Mt 24:24; 2Th 2:10 for the battle on the great day of God, the Almighty. # 16:14 Ezk 38–39; Jl 2:11; 3:2; Zch 14:2; Rv 19:11–21 15“Look, I am coming like a thief. Blessed # 16:15 Rv 1:3; 14:13; 19:9; 20:6; 22:7,14 is the one who is alert and remains clothed # 16:15 Or and guards his clothes,# 16:15 Lk 12:35–40; 1Th 5:2,6–8 so that he may not go around naked and people see his shame.” # 16:15 Rv 3:18 16So they assembled the kings at the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. # 16:16 Some mss read Armagedon; other mss read Harmegedon; other mss read Mageddon; other mss read Magedon,# 16:16 Jdg 5:19; 2Kg 9:27; Ezk 38:8

The Seventh Bowl

17Then the seventh # 16:17 Other mss add angel poured out his bowl into the air, # 16:17 Or bowl on the air and a loud voice came out of the temple # 16:17 Other mss add of heaven,# 16:17 Is 66:6 from the throne, saying, “It is done! ” 18There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder. And a severe earthquake occurred like no other since people have been on the earth, so great was the quake. # 16:18 Ex 19:16–19; Rv 4:5; 8:5; 11:19 19The great city # 16:19 Rv 18:10,16,18–19,21 split into three parts, and the cities of the nations # 16:19 Or the Gentile cities fell. Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; he gave her the cup filled with the wine of his fierce anger. # 16:19 Rv 14:19; 19:15 20Every island fled, and the mountains disappeared. # 16:20 Ezk 38:20; Rv 6:14 21Enormous hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds, # 16:21 Lit about a talent; talents varied in weight upwards from 75 pounds fell from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God # 16:21 Rv 16:9,11 for the plague of hail because that plague was extremely severe. # 16:21 Jos 10:11; Ezk 38:22

Hisgalus 16

1And I heard a kol gadol (loud voice) out of Heikhal saying to the shiva malachim (seven angels), “Go and pour out the sheva ke'arot (seven bowls) of the Charon Af of Hashem (the burning wrath of Hashem) onto ha'aretz (the earth).”#16:1 Ps 79:6; Zeph 3:8

2And harishon (the first) [malach] departed and poured out his ke'ara (bowl) onto ha'aretz (the earth), and a bad and rah (evil) sore came on the Bnei Adam having the mark of the Chayyah (Beast, Anti-Moshiach) and the ones worshiping its Atzav (idol, image).#16:2 Ex 9:9-11; Dt 28:35

3And hasheyni (the second) [malach] poured out his ke'ara (bowl) onto the yam (sea). It became like the dahm of a niftar (deceased person), and every living thing in the yam (sea) died.#16:3 Ex 7:17-21

4And hashlishi (the third) [malach] poured out his ke'ara (bowl) onto the neharot (rivers) and the ma'ayonot (springs) of mayim (water), and the mayim became dahm.#16:4 Ex 7:7-21 5And I heard the malach (angel) of the mayim (waters) saying, “Tzaddik are You, the One who is, the One who was, HaKadosh (the Holy One), because You have judged these things, 6Because they (those of Anti-Moshiach) shed the dahm of the Kedoshim and because the dahm of the Nevi'im they poured out, and You have given them dahm to drink! They are deserving of it!”#16:6 Isa 49:26 7And I heard the Mizbe'ach (altar) crying out, saying, “Ken, Hashem, Adonoi Tzva'ot, Emes and Tzedek are Your Mishpatim (Judgments).” 8And harevi'i (the fourth) [malach, angel] poured out his ke'ara (bowl) onto the shemesh (sun), and it was given to the shemesh (sun) to scorch Bnei Adam with eish (fire). 9And Bnei Adam were scorched with khom gadol (great heat), and they spoke Chillul Hashem gidufim (blasphemies) against ha-Shem of G-d — the One having the shilton (authority) over these makkot (plagues) — and they did not make teshuva so as to give Hashem kavod (glory).

10And hachamishi (the fifth) [malach, angel] poured out his ke'ara (bowl) on the kes (throne) of the Chayyah [Beast, Anti-Moshiach]; and the Malchut (Kingdom) of the Chayyah (Beast, Anti-Moshiach) became darkened, and in agony they were gnawing their tongues.#16:10 Ex 10:21-23; Isa 8:22 11And they spoke Chillul Hashem gidufim (blasphemies) against Elohei HaShomayim (the G-d of Heaven) because of their agony and because of their sores, and they did not make teshuva from their ma'asim (deeds).

12And hashishi (the sixth) [malach] poured out his ke'ara (bowl) on the nahar hagadol (the great river), the Euphrates, and the mayim (water) of it was dried up, that the derech (way) of the melachim (kings) from the rising of the shemesh (sun) might be prepared.#16:12 Isa 11:15,16; 41:2; 46:11 13And I saw coming out of the PEH (mouth) of the Dragon NACHASH and out of the PEH of the Chayyah (Beast, Anti-Moshiach) and out of the PEH of the Navi Sheker (False Prophet) shalosh ruchot teme'ot (three unclean spirits) like tzfarde'im (frogs),#16:13 Ex 8:6 14For they are ruchot (spirits) of shedim (demons) performing otot (miraculous signs), which go forth to the melachim (kings) of kol ha'aretz (all the earth) to gather them to the sadeh krav (battlefield) of the Yom HaGadol (Great Day) of Hashem Adonoi Tzva'ot. 15Hinei, I am coming as unexpectantly as a ganav. Ashrey is the one watching and keeping his kittel, lest he walk naked and they see his bushah (shame). 16And they assembled them into the place being called in Ivrit, Har Megiddo.#16:16 Ex 5:19; 2Kgs 23:29,30; Zech 12:11

17And hashevi'i (seventh) [malach] poured out his ke'ara (bowl) on the air, and there came a kol gadol (loud voice) out of the Heikhal from the Kes (Throne) saying, “It is a thing of derfilung (fulfillment), it is finished!” 18And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and re'amim (thunder), and a horrendous earthquake occurred such as never did occur vi-bahlt (since) Bnei Adam were on ha'aretz (the earth), so mighty an earthquake, so violent.#16:18 Dan 12:1 19And Ir HaGedolah (the Great City) became split into thirds and the cities of the Goyim (Nations) fell. And Hashem remembered Babel HaGedolah (Babylon the Great), to give her the kos (cup) of the yayin (wine) of his Charon Af (burning wrath). 20And every island fled, and mountains were not found. 21And great seventy-pound hailstones of barad (hail) come down from Shomayim, on Bnei Adam, and Bnei Adam spoke Chillul Hashem gidufim (blasphemies) against Hashem, because of the makkah (plague) of the hailstones, because the makkah (plague) of it is gedolah me'od.#16:21 Ezek 13:13; 38:22; Ex 9:23-25
