Revelation 16:17-21
일곱째 천사가 그 대접을 공중에 쏟으니, 성전에서 보좌로부터 "다 되었다" 하는 큰 음성이 울려 나왔습니다.
또 번개가 치고, 음성들이 나고, 천둥이 울리고, 큰 지진이 일어났는데, 이런 큰 지진은 사람이 땅 위에 생겨난 뒤로 일찍이 없었던 것입니다.
그리고 그 큰 도시가 세 조각이 나고, 민족들의 도시들도 무너졌습니다. 하나님께서 그 큰 도시 바빌론을 기억하셔서, 하나님의 진노를 나타내는 독한 포도주의 잔을 그 도시에 내리시니,
모든 섬들이 사라지고, 산들이 자취를 감추었습니다.그리고 무게가 한 달란트나 되는 큰 우박이 하늘로부터 사람들 위에 떨어지니, 사람들은 우박의 재앙이 너무도 심해서, 하나님을 모독하였습니다.The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, "It is done!"
Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake.
The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.
Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.

The seven seals, trumpets, and bowls depicted in the book of Revelation represent the final judgments of God that are poured out on an unbelieving world in the end times.
Whereas many of the trumpet judgments affect one third of their target, the bowl judgments are more comprehensive in their effect:
• First bowl (vs. 16:2) - Horrible sores on those with the mark of the beast
• Second bowl (vs. 16:3) - Everything in the sea dies
• Third bowl (vv. 16:4-7) - All the waters are polluted
• Fourth bowl (vv. 16:8-9) – The sun burns and scorches people
• Fifth bowl (vv. 16:10-11) – Brings complete darkness over Antichrist's kingdom
• Sixth bowl (vv. 16:12-16) – The Euphrates dries up ; the kings of the East come, and the scene is set for the battle of Armageddon
• Seventh bowl (vv. 16:17-21) – Produces a great earthquake; cities of nations fall; a huge hailstorm occurs
What do all these signify to us? Although all life on this earth will eventually come to an end, we will need to remember that our name will be recorded in the Book of Life and that God will remember us. However, we should keep watch in these end times and try all we can to not get tempted by the easy ways that Satan tries to lure into. Rather, we should try to focus on the narrow path and remain on this path faithfully, which can only be accomplished by clinging onto Christ.
