The Seven Bowls

After the seals have been opened and the trumpet judgments have come to pass there will be the seven bowls or vials and God is going to continue to pour out His wrath upon a wicked world. These judgments and plagues will take place during the second half of the Tribulation period.

1. The first bowl: Awful Sores (Revelation 16:2)
During this bowl those who have taken the mark of the beast will suffer horrible sores.

2. The second bowl: The sea turns to blood (Revelation 16:3)
During this bowl God turns the entire sea into blood and every living creature in the sea will die. The water will be stinking and decaying and putrid. It will be "blood as of a dead man".

3. The third bowl: The rivers and springs turn to blood (Revelation 16:4-7)
This time there will be no drinking water on Earth because all the water will be blood.

4. The fourth bowl: The scorch of the sun (Revelation 16:8-9)
This time God is going to cause the sun to scorch the winners with extreme heat.

5. The fifth bowl: Beast's kingdom into darkness (Revelation 16:10-11)
The fifth angel will pour out his bowl and the Beast's kingdom will be plunged into darkness.

6. The sixth bowl: The Euphrates dries up (Revelation 16:12)
During this bowl the Euphrates River completely dries up. And this will make a passageway for Asian leaders/armies to cross.

7. The seventh bowl: The worst and biggest earthquake in all of history (Revelation 16:17-21)
When this bowl is poured out there will be a massive global storm and a massive global earthquake which will be the worst that the world has ever seen. This will be followed by a plague of hail and the hailstones will be about a hundred pounds.
