Seven Vials


(Rev 15:8 & 16:1 KJV) 
  And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.


 We need to know that God has not appointed those that believe in him to his wrath.


1 Th 5:9   For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

1 Th 1:10   And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

Jesus said that when we see something, come to pass, and things beginning to come to pass. We are to look up for our redemption is nigh at hand.


Mat 24:33.34   So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.


Luke 21:28  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.






What are we to see come to pass ?


2 Th 2:1-3  Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,  That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;


Mat 24:15, 21, 24  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.


Luke 21:25,26   And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;  Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

from these scriptures we see that we are to see 
(1)   a falling away     
(2)  man of sin be revealed, false Christs
(3)  false prophets
(4)  the abomination of desolation
(5)  great tribulation
(6)  signs in the sun, moon, stars,  the powers of heaven shall be shaken
(7)  distress of nations
(8)  sea and the waves roaring
(9)  Men's hearts failing


So from this list we see that some will be leaving the faith, falling a way from Christ. We will see the Antichrist and a false prophet, and the Antichrist will commit the abomination. We will see the great tribulation, signs in the heavens, and sea. there will be distress in the nations, men dieing from heart attacks from looking at these things coming on the earth.




Jesus went on to say that Immediately after the tribulation of those days, two thing wood happen.
(1)  sun, moon be darkened, stars shall fall from heaven        God' wrath
(2)  sound of a trumpet, gather together his elect                    The rapture


Mat 24:29-31  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken
 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.    And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

You may have no-test that the things that are see here under wrath are also seen in the list that we are to look for. If you have gone throw the trumpets,  you shod of no-test that 1/3 of  things where affected. Land burnt up 1/3, sea and rivers blood 1/3, sun, stars, and mood darked 1/3. But we will  see them in God's wrath they are totally.  We read in  Luke 21:28  "And when these things begin to come to pass,"  and then Jesus said 


Luke 21:36  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

We are told to pray that we wood be worthy to escape, and be with Christ. Now we will take a look at these seven vials, that God will pour out on the earth. These vials will be poured out for ten days, from the fest of trumpets to feast of atonement. We that are worthy will be standing on the sea of glass before the Lord, reserving our rewards.


They wrath is come time to judge the dead, those that don't believe in Jesus.

Rev 11:18  And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

Rev 15:2  And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.


All these curses will come and overwhelm you

Deu 28:15  "But if you refuse to listen to the LORD your God and do not obey all the commands and laws I am giving you today, all these curses will come and overwhelm you:

Isa 24:1,   Look! The LORD is about to destroy the earth and make it a vast wasteland. See how he is scattering the people over the face of the earth. 



Vial one poured on earth 
Offensive, painful sores upon the Antichrist and those that take his mark and worship his image.


Rev 16:2   And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

Deu 28:27, 35  "The LORD will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, scurvy, and the itch, from which you cannot be cured. 
The LORD will cover you from head to foot with incurable boils.

 

Vial two poured on sea 
Sea turned to blood, every thing dies in the sea.


Rev 16:3  And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man; and every living soul died in the sea.



 One of the plagues, God sent on Egypt was that  “He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish." Psalm 105:29. Under the second trumpet Revelation 8:8, "third part of the sea became blood;". Here in vial two the whole sea is affected, terned into blood. Now we have oil spills, chemical spills or bumping that polluting the sea, and kill some of the sea life. Imagine all sea life dying, the smell, and how unsanitary it wood be. But that is not all, lets look at vial three.




Vial three  poured on rivers
All waters tuned to blood, no drinking water.


Rev 16:4  And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

Now we see God pouring on the rivers, all watter is tuned to blood. This is similar to the third trumpet Revelation 8:11 "third part of the waters became wormwood;" a third of the rivers and water-springs became bitterness. This vial touches them all and turns them into blood, so that there is no drinking water. With out water you can not live, you can only survive a few days.

 


Vial four  poured on sun
The sun  scorches men, with great heat.


Rev 16:8,9  And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

Deu 28:22   The LORD will strike you with wasting disease, fever, and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, and with blight and mildew. These devastations will pursue you until you die.


This is the fulfillment of Isaiah’s words:
Isa 24:6 Therefore, a curse consumes the earth and its people. They are left desolate, destroyed by fire. Few will be left alive.


Mal 4:1 The LORD Almighty says, "The day of judgment is coming, burning like a furnace. The arrogant and the wicked will be burned up like straw on that day. They will be consumed like a tree--roots and all.






Vial five  poured on seat of the beast
The kingdom of the Antichrist,  is full of darkness.


Rev 16:10,11  And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,  And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

Deu 28:28  The LORD will strike you with madness, blindness, and panic.

The effects of these judgments will overlap each other. This darkening of the Antichrist's kingdom, adds to the earlier vials, brings terrible grief and anguish on the people. Yet they continue to curse God, and not repent. We read in Isa 60:2


For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

  


Vial six  poured on great river Euphrates
The Euphrates river dries up.


Rev 16:12   And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

The Euphrates river is supernaturally dried up to make way for the armies from the east to come to the battle of  Armageddon.




Rev 16:13,14  And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.  For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.




The unholy trinity, persuade the nations, throw demon spirits to join them against God. they gather together ate Armageddon.


Rev 16:16  And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.



Vial seven  poured on air
Thunders, lightnings, great hail
Earthquake, island flee away, mountains


Rev 16:17-21 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.  And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.  And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.  And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Deu 28:61   The LORD will bring against you every sickness and plague there is, even those not mentioned in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.

The seventh vial is poured out in the air. A violent storm thunder, lightnings, and great hail. The hail will weigh about 86 to115 pounds.

The Lord shakes the earth mightily.

Isa 2:19   And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Rev 6:15,16   And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;  And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
After theses vials the Lord returns with ten thousands of his saints

Rev 19:11  And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

Jude 1:14,15  And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,  To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
