Go and pour out the seven bowls. This is God's authorization for what follows. [The Bowls of Wrath are a lot like the plagues sent on Egypt (see Exodus Chapter s 7-10); and they parallel the Trumpets of Warning (Rev. ch 8-9). The first Trumpet (Revelation 8:7) affects the earth; so does the first Bowl (Revelation 16:2): The second Trumpet affects the sea; so does the second Bowl. The third Trumpet the rivers; likewise the third Bowl. The fourth both affect the sun. The fifth the pit of the abyss or the throne of the beast. The sixth the river Euphrates. The seventh brings in the Second Coming and the end of the world.]
