Revelation 16:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 16:15

13 And I saw three unclean ^aspirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of ^bthe dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of ^cthe false prophet.

14 For they are spirits of demons, ^aperforming signs, which go out to the kings¹ of the earth and of ^bthe whole world, to gather them to ^cthe battle of that great day of God Almighty.

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

16 ^aAnd they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew,¹ 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, ^a“It is done!”

18 And ^athere were noises and thunderings and lightnings; ^band there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake ^cas had not occurred since men were on the earth.
