Revelation 16

Commentary

Revelation 16 is a chapter of judgment and wrath. It is the sixth of seven bowls of God's wrath that are poured out on the earth. In this chapter, the first three bowls are poured out, and each one brings a different kind of judgment. The first bowl brings a painful and loathsome sore upon those who have the mark of the beast and worship his image. The second bowl brings the sea to become like the blood of a dead man, and every living creature in the sea dies. The third bowl brings the rivers and springs of water to become like the blood of a dead man, and many people die from the bitter water. The judgments in this chapter are a reminder of the power and authority of God. He is the one who is in control and will bring justice to those who have rejected Him. It is a warning to all who are living in rebellion against God that they will face His wrath and judgment. It is also a reminder of the hope that is found in Jesus Christ, who is the only one who can save us from the wrath of God.
