[1 Seven angels commanded to pour out their vials on the earth; 2 great plagues follow thereupon. 15 Christ cometh suddenly.]
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 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 are righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast,
and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of the saints and
prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink;
for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the alter say,
Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous
are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial
upon the sun; and power was given unto him to
scorch men with fire.
9 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.
10 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,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven, because
of their pains and their sores, and repented not of
their deeds.
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.
13 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.
14 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 the great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that
watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk
naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place
called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 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.
18 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.
19 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.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains
were not found.
21 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.
