Like the third trumpet (Revelation 8:11), this bowl affects the fresh water. Its result is similar to that of the first plague against Egypt except they could dig for fresh water, and this extends to the underground supply as well. (Exodus 7:17-25) The angel of the waters may be one God has appointed to watch over the waters or the one who poured out the bowl. The Lord is declared, by that angel, to have been just in turning the waters to blood because these had been blood thirsty in killing the saints and prophets. The Lord is identified as the one who is and was without saying he is to come. This may be because this is a picture of his coming.
