The 7 bowl judgments
(REV. 16)
The plagues of the seven bowls (REV. 16)
|
ASV (Rev 16)
1. And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go ye, and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth.
2. And the first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth; and it became a noisome and grievous sore upon the men that had the mark of the beast, and that worshipped his image.
3. And the second poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living soul died, even the things that were in the sea.
4. And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of the waters; and it became 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 the saints and the prophets, 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.
8. And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given unto it to scorch men with fire.
9. And men were scorched men 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.
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.
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 by made ready for the kings that come from the sunrising.
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 the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.
15. (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walked naked, and they see his shame.)
16. And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-Magedon.
17. And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air; and there came forth a great voice out of the temple, from the throne, saying, It is done:
18. And there were lightning's, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men upon the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty.
19. And the great city was divided into into three parts, and the cities of the nations 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.

Babylon the great riding the beast (REV. 17)

ASV (Rev 17)
1. And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls, and spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters;
2. with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication.
3. And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication,
5. and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
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 a great wonder.
7. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
8. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, they whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come.
9. Here is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth:
10. And they are seven kings; the five are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a little while.
11. And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goeth into perdition.
12. And the ten horns that thou sawest are ten kings,who have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
13. These have one mind, and they give their power and authority unto the beast.
14. These shall war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they also shall overcome that are with him, called and chosen and faithful.
15. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16. And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire.
17. For God did put in their hearts to do his mind, and to come to one mind, and to give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
18. And the woman whom thou sawest is the great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

11. And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon called Faithful and True; and in righteous he doth judge and make war.
12. And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he hath a name written which no one knoweth but he himself.
13. And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: And his name is called The Word of God.
14. And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure.
15. And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron: And he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.
16. And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KINGS OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS
ASV (Rev 19:20)
20. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image: They two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone:
ASV (Rev 20:1-3)
1. And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
2. And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,
3. and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: After this he must be loosed for a little time.
