The vials of the wrath of God
After the midnight cry 21
Meditate about these things.
“And I heard a great voice out of the temple (in heaven) saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth,” (Rev. 16:1). God is ready here to pour out his judgment upon the unbelieving world. The elect has been translated and the 144 thousand sealed Jews are protected before the judgment begins. Ask yourself today where I will be at this time of God’s judgment. Make your calling and election sure, (2nd Peter 1:10-11).
Rev.16. 2, And the first angel 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 worshiped his image. This first vial judgment poured out upon the earth was designed by God to bring Rev. 13:16 , “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And no man might buy or sell, save he that hath the mark, or the number of the beast,or the number of his name.”
Here God remembers all who took the mark for promised freedom by the beast system, that turns to a nightmare and a lie. God pours out the first vial of noisome and grievous sore upon men. They were deceived and now the wrath of God comes upon them for refusing the truth of the gospel and buying the lie of freedom by the devil.
In Rev. 16:2, 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. Look at the vastness of the seas of the world, but at this time it would congeal as a dead man’s blood. And all living souls ,(humans) in the ship, submarines and much more will die. What a disaster that would be, for rejecting the gift of eternal life Jesus Christ.
This judgment is coming shortly, and all that holds it back is the translation of the true believers. This judgment will come upon those who in this lifetime have neglected or taken the gift of God and his promises for granted. Many alive today would face these vial judgments that are coming after the sudden rapture or translation of the faithful believers. Where do you stand on these issues of eternity?
