Revelation · Day 26They Did Not Repent
Revelation 16:1-11As the first five bowls fall on the earth in a pattern borrowed from the Exodus plagues, heaven declares God's judgments righteous, and the stubborn refusal of those under judgment to repent shows how deep the human heart's rebellion runs.
Revelation · Day 27It Is Done
Revelation 16:12-21As the kings of the earth are deceived into gathering for a final war, Jesus breaks in with a warning to stay awake, and the seventh bowl brings a voice from the throne declaring that God's judgment is complete.
