Revelation Chapter 16 KJV
King James Version, Holy Bible
1 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.
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.
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.
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Revelation Chapter 16
Verse: "Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”" (Revelation 16:17)
Lesson: This chapter describes the final judgments of God upon the earth before the second coming of Jesus Christ. The pouring out of the seven bowls of God's wrath symbolizes the punishment of those who have rejected Him and refused to repent. It is a solemn reminder that God is a just God who will not allow sin to go unpunished.
Conclusion: As believers, we must take sin seriously and seek to live a life that is pleasing to God. We must also have a sense of urgency in sharing the Gospel with those who have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. The judgments described in this chapter serve as a warning to all who have not yet repented and turned to God.
Prayer Points: Let us pray for a renewed sense of urgency in sharing the Gospel with others. Let us also pray for those who have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior, that they would come to know Him before it is too late.
