In Chapter 16 of this series we see clearly the punishment the Lord will bring on the Anti-christ and his followers who will be on the earth. Those on the earth now are those who did not believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit which Jesus preached for believers of it to become the citizens of the Millennial Kingdom, the New Heaven and the New Earth.
In this chapter we see that the Lord by His angel gave the command for the out-pouring of the plagues of the seven bowls on the earth.
The first angel poured his bowl upon the earth, and the plague brought incurable skin disease - sores to destroy the flesh of sinners until their deaths. With this kind of punishment to come upon the earth, the fear of God should come upon the people of this earth to seek the Lord for the free gift of the Salvation of the Lord. After the first plagues comes six more plagues.
The second to the sixth plagues will be pooured out for the destruction of the physical earth and all the earth`s natural resources. The book of Revelation shows us that the sea shall turn to blood killing every living things in the sea; the rivers and springs also. The stench, the poison of the water system means that it shall be impossible to get drinking water. Even the best of the fields, humans,and every living creatures shall be scorched. This of cause is to prove to the entire world that the God of creation who provided all the things in the entire universe, also has the power and the know - how to remove all. It is also good to note a bowl of plague shall also be poured on the throne of the beast such that his kingdom shall be engulved in darkness with great pain on him and all peoples on the earth. Finally the great river Euphrates shall be dried up to prepare the way for the powers of this world to be gathered to the battle of Armageddon where the final war between Satan and God shall be waged. and our God shall triumph over Satan.
Then on the pouring out of the plague of the seven bowl then all shall be finished. On this last plagues there shall be great earthquake such as never been seen on the earth, and the force of it shall the first world shall disappear without a trace. After this the saints will live in glory with Jesus for one thousand years to come.
When the one thousand years are accomplished, and in fulfilment of time, God will make the first world to disappear and give us the new Heaven and the New earth to live in Christ`s Kingdom.
Therefore as believers of the word of God, we must have faith in the word of God and believe the Lord will fuflfil all the word of God. This means that we must devote our lives in the work of the Kingdom of God in accordance with the great commossion of the Lord and remain focused on the task of preaching the gospel of the water and the Spirit which Jesus preached. Fight therefopre the good fight of faith. 2Tim.2:3-4 says " Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier."
