26-The 7 Bowls Of God’s Wrath (Revelation 16:1-21)

The bowls of wrath are very similar to the plagues of judgment in Egypt and are also similar to the seven trumpet judgments of Rev 8-9. However, a careful study reveals some striking differences. In Egypt, the plagues were local, affecting only the Egyptians. The trumpet judgments also were partial, destroying only one-third of each thing. The final 7 bowl judgments, however, are universal in scope affecting the entire earth with an unprecedented intensity.
