In this episode, Rob and Vinnie look at Rev 16:1-21 and discuss the nature of the 7 Bowls and their role in the book of Revelation. This discussion includes an extensive look at the 6th Bowl and the famed "battle of Armageddon." Why do some manuscripts say, "Harmageddon." What is this battle? Well, it is likely not what you think.

Show notes:
There are 2 main stories (4 main scenes: first two are stories)
16:21 marks the end of the second story (the heavenly vision) which began in 4:1
This leads to the conclusion that the Seven Bowls are a depiction of the final judgment
16:1 voice from the Temple (15:6; 14:15, 17, 18)
The “it” that became a bad and evil sore I suspect is the Mark of the Beast itself
Sea is a common image of the place of opposition to God
16:5-7 Interjections: God is just
4th Bowl: see 7:14
5th Bowl: The Beast’s actions lead to their inevitable consequences–utter darkness
In both the Sixth Trumpet and the Sixth Bowl, there is an army crossing the “Euphrates” (9:14; 16:12): these are only two references to the “Euphrates” in the book of Revelation
Three unclean spirits like frogs (16:13). Allusion to the Exodus story–plague of frogs
In case we were uncertain as to the nature of the frog-like beings, John adds, “they are the spirits of demons doing signs” (16:14).
False Prophet: the ability to perform signs was one of its primary features (13:13-14)
16:15 is a parenthetical insertion
“Armageddon”—“battle of Megiddo”
“Harmagedon”—“mount of Megiddo.”
Zech 2:11; Ezek 38-39
16:17-21 7th Bowl
“It is done” (16:17)
“Theophanic manifestations”
A “talent”
