- Painful Sores. (16:1-2) Verse 1: The seven angels are now commanded to pour out their bowl of judgment upon the earth. John heard what is described as a loud or great voice, probably the voice of God, coming out of the temple.
- Seas Smitten. (16:3) The Greek text here is very graphic. Literally it reads, “And it (sea) became blood as of a dead man,” i.e., like a dead man wallowing in his own blood.
- Rivers Smitten. (16:4-7) This judgment, as with the third trumpet, involves the fresh water supply. Again, there is no limit; it is global with great devastating effects.
- Scorching Heat. (16:8-9) Like the fourth trumpet, the heavens are again affected, especially the sun. In the fourth trumpet one-third of the sun, moon, and stars are affected diminishing their light by one-third (night and day).
The first six seal judgments are unleashed in chapter 6 of Revelation and are comprised of the following: • First seal (vv. 1-2) – the Antichrist is let loose upon the world. • Second seal (vv. 3-4) – wars begin and peace is lost. • Third seal (vv. 5-6) – famine breaks out.
The seventh seal telescopes into the Seven Trumpets. The first six trumpets occur in Revelation 8:1-9:21. The first four trumpets describe a series of specific judgments on the earth and the last two trumpets describe the release of demonic forces upon the earth.
Jan 4, 2022 · Answer. The seven seals are one of a series of end-times judgments from God. The seals are described in Revelation 6:1–17 and 8:1–5. In John’s vision, the seven seals hold closed a scroll in heaven, and, as each seal is broken, a new judgment is unleashed on the earth.
Jan 4, 2022 · The seven bowl or vial judgments are the final judgments of the tribulation period. They will be the most severe judgments the world has ever seen. The seven bowls are described in Revelation 16:1–21, where they are specifically called “the seven bowls of God’s wrath” (verse 1).
The seven seals of Revelation begin Jesus’ wrath against the wicked on the Earth. Seals 1–4 bring judgment upon the wicked now. Seal 5 is a cry for vengeance by Jesus’ people. Seal 6 previews the trumpet and bowl judgments. Seal 7 previews Jesus’ return and connects all judgments to the Lamb.
As a bit of background, the traditional view is to see the seals, trumpets and bowls as consecutive. That is, the seals play out and then open up the trumpets that play out, then lead to the final bowl judgments. And each of the judgments get closer together, like birth pains, as we approach the end.
