Finally Justice Done - The Seven Bowls Judgment

Dear Saints,

On this Martin Luther King, Jr. Remembrance Day, true and complete justice to all is politically elusive but still fully available in the person of Jesus Christ. Our injustice was laid upon Him with all our sins. Let's look to Christ today and do whatever is within us to bring justice to the oppressed including through the gospel of Christ. 

We are almost there. That is the return of Christ on earth with His angels and us. All have been building to this moment. The release of the seven bowls of God’s judgment is the one final event that seals Satan’s fate and ushers in the true King of the World, Jesus Christ. It is inspiring to be in this part of our study of the book of Revelation.

The one thing to keep in mind in this chapter 16 is this: “And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.” Revelation 16:7

God’s judgment is righteous. He has every right to judge the earth, especially when it says: “they did not repent and give Him glory.” Verse 9 and 11. The Lord has done all he can to save people, but people still rebel against God. People choose Hell instead of heaven with God. That is injustice against God.

Oh Yes. There will be racial justice in God's Kingdom. Now let’s read the rest of the account, Revelation 16:

The Seven Bowls

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.”

First Bowl: Loathsome Sores

² So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.

Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood

³ Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.

Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood

⁴ Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. ⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying:

“You are righteous, O Lord,
The One who is and who was and who is to be,
Because You have judged these things.
⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
And You have given them blood to drink.
For it is their just due.”

⁷ And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.”

Fourth Bowl: Men Are Scorched

⁸ Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. ⁹ And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.

Fifth Bowl: Darkness and Pain

¹⁰ Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. ¹¹ They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

Sixth Bowl: Euphrates Dried Up

¹² Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. ¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. ¹⁴ For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

¹⁵ “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

¹⁶ And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.

Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken

¹⁷ Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” ¹⁸ And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. 

¹⁹ Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. ²⁰ Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. ²¹ And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.

Please note the sixth bowl judgment that dries up the Euphrates river. It is said the armies from the east will go through the dry river to come to the greatest battle - ¹⁶ And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. Verse 16. We will see this battle play out in Revelation 17 and 20. And, of course, Christ wins with a breath of his mouth.

The final and seventh bowl declares: “It is done!.” God is not going back. This is it. The earth is judged, and God must reign forever. God has been so patient.

^16” For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

¹⁸ “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-18.

Lord, we thank you for helping us believe in your only Son, Jesus Christ. You have demonstrated your love to us on the cross and have taken away our sins. We are grateful. Please help us to invite others to Jesus, the only salvation from your wrath to come. Amen.

Lord, please continue to heal America from her racial injustice and sins against the oppressed and the vulnerable all over the world. Please grant all HOPE in Jesus, the True and Just God. Amen.
