John now describes the vision of the outpouring of God's wrath. "The first angel poured out his bowl of wrath on the land and painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast... then the 2nd angel poured his bowl on the sea and it turned into blood and the sea creatures died... then the 3rd angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs and they became blood... and another angel said this was because they had shed the blood of saints and prophets so they have been given blood to drink... then the 4th angel poured wrath on the sun which heated up to scorch people making the people curse God, yet still they didn't repent... the 5th angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast and his kingdom was thrown into darkness and men gnawed their tongues in agony and cursed God... then came the 6th angel who poured his bowl on the River Euphrates and the water dried up... and I saw 3 evil spirits like frogs that came out of the dragon's mouth, and out of the beast's mouth and out of the false prophet's mouth... and these spirits of demons went out to gather the kings of the world for the battle on the great day of God... and they gathered the kings at Armageddon... then finally the 7th angel poured out his bowl into the air and a loud voice from the temple said it is done!... and there was lightening, thunder and an earthquake bigger than ever seen... so the great city split into 3 parts... and the islands fled away and the mountains disappeared... and huge 100 pound hailstones fell on men... and they cursed God".
