  2. Revelation Revelation 16:10-21The Seven Bowls of Wrath • The 5th Bowl is poured on the throne of the beast and it becomes dark (16:10-11) • The 6th Bowl is poured on the Euphrates; it is dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the east (16:12) Deceptive spirits from the dragon, beast and false prophet gather their forces for battle. They gather at a place called Armageddon (16:13-16) • This battle is mentioned by name only here in the Bible. • The entire description must be taken figuratively; it is beyond the boundaries of literal reality.

  3. Revelation Armageddon (Mt. Megiddo) In the Old Testament, Megiddo is a place of conflict between God’s people and their enemies (Judges 5:19; 2 Kings 23:29)

  4. Armageddon (Mt. Megiddo) In Revelation 16:16, Armageddon is the symbolic scene of ultimate conflict between the forces of the Dragon and the forces of the King of Kings.

  5. Revelation Revelation 16:10-21The Seven Bowls of Wrath • The 7th Bowl completes the bowls of wrath and God’s judgment upon the enemies of His people – “It is done”. • Noises, thunderings and a great earthquake accompany this bowl. • The great city was divided and Babylon was remembered before God – to give her the wine of God’s wrath (The details are left for later). • Every island fled away and the mountains were not found. • Great hail fell and men blasphemed God.
