Fifth Bowl: Darkness and Pain

10 Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl aon the throne of the beast, band his kingdom became full of darkness; cand they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.  
11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

Sixth Bowl: Euphrates Dried Up

12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl aon the great river Euphrates, band its water was dried up, cso that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.  
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

Revelation 16:12

And the sixth poured out his phial upon the great river Euphrates - Affected also by the sixth trumpet. And the water of it - And of all the rivers that flow into it. Was dried up - The far greater part of the Turkish empire lies on this side the Euphrates. The Romish and Mahometan affairs ran nearly parallel to each other for several ages. In the seventh century was Mahomet himself; and, a little before him, Boniface III., with his universal bishopric. In the eleventh, both the Turks and Gregory VII. carried all before them. In the year 1300, Boniface appeared with his two swords at the newly - erected jubilee. In the self - same year arose the Ottoman Porte; yea, and on the same day. And here the phial, poured out on the throne of the beast, is immediately followed by that poured out on the Euphrates; that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared - Those who lie east from the Euphrates, in Persia, India, etc., who will rush blindfold upon the plagues which are ready for them, toward the Holy Land, which lies west of the Euphrates.
