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.  
19 Now athe great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And bgreat Babylon cwas remembered before God, dto give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.  
20 Then aevery island fled away, and the mountains were not found.  
21 And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.

Revelation 16:18

And there were (kai egenonto). "And there came" (same verb ginomai). See Revelation 8:5; Revelation 11:19 for this list of terrible sounds and lightnings, and for the great earthquake (seismov megav) see Revelation 6:12; Revelation 11:13 (cf. Luke 21:11).

Such as was not (oiov ouk egeneto). Qualitative relative with ginomai again, "such as came not."

Since there were men (af ou anqrwpoi egenonto). "Since which time (xronou understood) men came."

So great an earthquake, so mighty (thlikoutov seismov outw megav). Quantitative correlative thlikoutov rather than the qualitative toioutov, to correspond with oiov (not osov). And then outw megav repeats (redundant) thlikoutov. Cf. Mark 13:19 for oia—toiauth about like tribulation (qliyiv).
