The
Seventh Vial
The
Earth utterly Shaken
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.
Rev 16:17-21 KJV
When the seventh angel pours out the Seventh Bowl of
God's Wrath, the great city Babylon will be destroyed, for GOD ALMIGHTY
remembers her and gives her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of His
Wrath.
The
great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God
remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the
fury of His Wrath (v.19 NIV)
This will be the most severe earthquake the Earth
has ever endured. Entire cities will fall at its power, mountains will be
flattened. The Earth will be completely changed as a result of this
earthquake’s ministry.
The impending fall of Babylon the Great was long
announced in Revelation 14:8.
The Seven Vials will serve as a third woe upon the
Earth—a completion of God's Wrath. First and second woes are recorded in
Revelation 9:1-12 and 11:1-14 respectively.
In the Seventh Trumpet (Revelation 11), Christ’s Reign
is foreseen, but in the Seventh Vial there will be a great shaking of the
Earth.
In the Seventh Trumpet, the divine Authority,
Dominion, Kingdom, Sovereignty, and Rule of Christ is announced—the kingdom of
this world becomes the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.
In the Seventh Vial, Babylon the Great comes in
remembrance before God so to make way for His Wrath to have full effect upon
her.
In the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet are loud
voices heard from Heaven with flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of
thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm, as God's Temple and the Ark of
the Covenant is seen.
But, when the seventh angel pours out the Seventh
Vial, a great Voice out of the Temple of Heaven will be heard, and voices, and
thunders, and flashes of lightning—and there will be a mighty earthquake and a
great plague on the Earth.
