Dual Panel1I heard a shout of command from the Temple to the Seven Angels: "Begin! Pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath on earth!"
2The first Angel stepped up and poured his bowl out on earth: Loathsome, stinking sores erupted on all who had taken the mark of the Beast and worshiped its image.
3The second Angel poured his bowl on the sea: The sea coagulated into blood, and everything in it died.
4The third Angel poured his bowl on rivers and springs: The waters turned to blood.
5I heard the Angel of Waters say, Righteous you are, and your judgments are righteous, THE IS, THE WAS, THE HOLY.
6They poured out the blood of saints and prophets so you've given them blood to drink--they've gotten what they deserve!
7Just then I heard the Altar chime in, Yes, O God, the Sovereign-Strong! Your judgments are true and just!
8The fourth Angel poured his bowl on the sun: Fire blazed from the sun and scorched men and women.
9Burned and blistered, they cursed God's Name, the God behind these disasters. They refused to repent, refused to honor God.
10The fifth Angel poured his bowl on the throne of the Beast: Its kingdom fell into sudden eclipse. Mad with pain, men and women bit and chewed their tongues,
11cursed the God of Heaven for their torment and sores, and refused to repent and change their ways.
12The sixth Angel poured his bowl on the great Euphrates River: It dried up to nothing. The dry riverbed became a fine roadbed for the kings from the East.
13From the mouths of the Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet I saw three foul demons crawl out--they looked like frogs.
14These are demon spirits performing signs. They're after the kings of the whole world to get them gathered for battle on the Great Day of God, the Sovereign-Strong.
15"Keep watch! I come unannounced, like a thief. You're blessed if, awake and dressed, you're ready for me. Too bad if you're found running through the streets, naked and ashamed."
16The frog-demons gathered the kings together at the place called in Hebrew [Armageddon].
17The seventh Angel poured his bowl into the air: From the Throne in the Temple came a shout, "Done!"
18followed by lightning flashes and shouts, thunder crashes and a colossal earthquake--a huge and devastating earthquake, never an earthquake like it since time began.
19The Great City split three ways, the cities of the nations toppled to ruin. Great Babylon had to drink the wine of God's raging anger--God remembered to give her the cup!
20Every island fled and not a mountain was to be found.
21Hailstones weighing a ton plummeted, crushing and smashing men and women as they cursed God for the hail, the epic disaster of hail.
