We have reached the area of the seventh bowl or as we have been rightfully labeling them fire-pans as they symbols those used by the Jewish priests of long ago. Before GOD took out the temple through the Romans searching for hidden gold within. Just as many of us today search the gospels looking for the gold within them, when in fact this gold is within each one of us. The treasure of Christ buried there by GOD hand when He molded us within the bowls of the earth, our mom's womb. Which to say His image and likeness and this having been redeemed by the operation of GOD'S work in Jesus Who is the Christ within us. He arose there was we first saw ourselves arise within Him, Galatians 2:20; Rom. 6:4-6, 8:3-4 and Col. 2:11-14. Just as the Lord Jesus said that we would, when we heard Him as coming to our-selves. This known as the Gospel of Mercy and Grace.
Revelation 16:17-21 "And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, 'It is done!' And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great." (KJV)
Revelation 16:17-21 "The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, 'It is done!' And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe." (ESV)
Revelation 16:17-2 "The seventh poured his golden fire-pan into the atmosphere. A loud voice came from the Throne in the inner shrine, and said, 'It is irreversibly done!' (G1096 ginomai, gegonen, perfect active indicative - Its effect will never diminish!) This ignited flashes of lightning with the roaring voices of thunder and a massive earthquake such as has never been felt since the beginning of human existence upon the earth. There was never anything remotely like it. The earth rocked, rolled and rumbled. And the great city split into three portions and the cities of the nations fell and Babylon the great was remembered in the Cup of GOD'S [1] great passion and [2] desire to bring everything to conclusion. (The word [1, G2372 from G2380] thumos, passion and [2, G3709 from G3713] orge, desire, is from (G3713) oregomai, to stretch one's self out in order to touch or to grasp something, to reach after with intense desire. The third part is a symbolic expression of a representative portion of the whole. Here, the counterfeit Trinity, represented in the Whore-City Babylon, is divided and conquered.) All island vanished and not a trace of the mountains could be found. (There was nowhere to hide on the planet from the far reaching conclusion of GOD'S finished work in Christ; Neither a remote island nor even a mountain remained in place. Islands represent the religious, political and social isolation of people groupings; Mountains represent the social structures of influence.) The entire economy fell - like massive hail stones the size of talents cast down from the heavens upon the people of the earth and they blasphemed GOD because of the hail for the plague was most intense! (The word, (G5006 from G5007) talantiaios, talent of gold or silver, is from (G5007) talanton, the scale of balances.)"
"At the close of Chapter 16, we reach the end of the three great series of judgments, - the series of the seven Seals, the seven Trumpets, and the seven Vessels. It cannot surprise us, however, that at this point other visions of judgment are to follow. already we had reached the end at Rev. 6, then again at the end of Rev. 11; Yet on both occasions the same general subject was immediately afterwards renewed, and the same events were again presented to us, though in a different aspect and with heightened coloring," quoted from the Expository Bible. (The Mirror, with editing.)
In our next visit I shall the LORD willing, begin our look at the authors notes of between the chapter. These cover such interests as "The Brazen Altar, Armageddon - Earthbound vs. Heavenly Dimension." Now may our LORD bring us all together in His inner working of righteousness no longer being denied because of religions false representation of Him and His Gospel.
