Revelation 16 - Introduction

Christ's Final Wrath. Chapter s 15-16 (Romans 2:5)

This is the fifth parallel section. The central idea is: "God will not tolerate sinful men forever. "It once again begins with Christ's First Coming. "But the wicked, with actions and words, have called death to themselves, and thinking it a friend, have made an agreement with it, because they choose to be part of it."
