00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.900
 As it's already been said, today is Palm Sunday, so all throughout the world, many churches

00:00:05.900 --> 00:00:14.540
 today are calling to mind Jesus entering into Jerusalem on a donkey.

00:00:15.419 --> 00:00:21.219
 And as he was going in, people were throwing down palm branches and their cloaks, and as

00:00:21.219 --> 00:00:25.879
 you can see in your bulletin, Mark 11, they were saying to him, Hosanna, blessed is he

00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:27.199
 who comes in the name of the Lord.

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:31.299
 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our Father David.

00:00:31.419 --> 00:00:33.399
 Hosanna in the highest.

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.240
 Have you ever wondered what Jesus was actually thinking during that time?

00:00:42.340 --> 00:00:47.239
 What was going on in the mind of our Savior as he was riding that donkey into Jerusalem?

00:00:47.939 --> 00:00:49.219
 Was he thinking about logistics?

00:00:50.620 --> 00:00:51.879
 Where are they going to eat?

00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:53.920
 Where are they going to stay?

00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:55.760
 Where is he going to go and teach?

00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:01.899
 Maybe he was thinking about the up-and-coming encounters with the high priest, Herod, Pilate.

00:01:02.420 --> 00:01:04.599
 Maybe he was thinking about what he was about to suffer.

00:01:05.620 --> 00:01:08.659
 Maybe he was focused on doing the will of his Father.

00:01:08.819 --> 00:01:10.280
 We see that in Gethsemane.

00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.739
 This morning, I want to ask you this question.

00:01:14.739 --> 00:01:24.919
 Is it possible that Jesus had you in mind as he entered into Jerusalem?

00:01:25.659 --> 00:01:27.119
 He was thinking of you.

00:01:28.579 --> 00:01:32.199
 With all these things, he's thinking of you as well.

00:01:32.739 --> 00:01:40.479
 And we've got to ask the question, why was he thinking about you as he entered into Jerusalem?

00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:48.579
 Well, the reason why that Jesus was thinking of you is the reason why he was going into Jerusalem.

00:01:48.579 --> 00:01:55.420
 And that has everything to do with the passage that we just heard Randy and Dana read.

00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:57.859
 Revelation chapter 16.

00:01:57.859 --> 00:02:08.159
 In Revelation chapter 16, we have this graphic description of the full and final wrath of God being poured out on the earth.

00:02:09.139 --> 00:02:11.460
 Fierce and fair.

00:02:11.460 --> 00:02:15.640
 Last week, Eric Tully preached.

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:16.879
 I'm so grateful for him.

00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:25.460
 He brought us through chapter 15 where we see these angels in 15.1 gather together, given bowls.

00:02:25.980 --> 00:02:29.500
 And they're given these plagues that are in these bowls.

00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:32.939
 And we're told that they're the last of its kind.

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:34.540
 These are the last judgments.

00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:38.840
 And with them, the wrath of God will be finished.

00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:40.420
 Done.

00:02:41.460 --> 00:02:48.600
 So up until this point, we have seen the seven seal judgments poured out on a quarter of the earth.

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:54.659
 We've seen the trumpet judgments poured out on a third of the earth.

00:02:54.900 --> 00:03:06.460
 And now we see these judgments, the bowl judgments, and they're called plagues in 15.1, poured out on all the earth.

00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:08.319
 This is it.

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.979
 With these, God's wrath is done.

00:03:12.459 --> 00:03:14.539
 Poured out on all the earth.

00:03:14.659 --> 00:03:21.359
 And if you look at 15.1, you say, I saw another sign and angels with seven plagues.

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.720
 And when you hear that word plague, you should be going back to the book of Exodus.

00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:29.280
 Remember the ten plagues God poured out on Pharaoh in Egypt?

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:34.439
 And at the very beginning, I want to remind you of something about those plagues.

00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.419
 All throughout those plagues.

00:03:37.419 --> 00:03:40.740
 If you read Exodus 7, 8, 9.

00:03:40.859 --> 00:03:43.740
 As you read through those, there's this refrain that gets said.

00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:45.300
 God's speaking.

00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:46.759
 God's speaking to his people.

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:48.340
 God's speaking to Pharaoh.

00:03:48.780 --> 00:03:50.560
 God's speaking to Egypt.

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:57.960
 And he says things like, so that you may know there is none like me in all the earth.

00:03:59.199 --> 00:03:59.560
 Plague.

00:04:00.979 --> 00:04:04.280
 So that you know that I am the Lord.

00:04:04.939 --> 00:04:05.240
 Plague.

00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:17.920
 What we have going on here in Revelation 16 is the final and full outpourings of God's fierce and full wrath.

00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.139
 And it is God saying, there's none like me.

00:04:27.139 --> 00:04:34.019
 In chapter 16, at the end of 15, all of these angels are standing poised for action.

00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.579
 And God acts.

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:41.620
 Chapter 16, verse 1.

00:04:42.379 --> 00:04:49.460
 This voice from the temple tells these seven angels, go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.

00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.639
 And then what you have in verses 2 through 21 is exactly that.

00:04:54.199 --> 00:05:00.560
 Each angel in turn pours out his bowl with plague on the earth.

00:05:01.100 --> 00:05:01.840
 And it builds.

00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:06.979
 It's not like one plague is poured out, stops, and then another.

00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:11.779
 One plague gets poured out, and on addition to that, another plague gets poured out.

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:15.919
 It's awful.

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:24.539
 The first four bowls are poured out on the earth and the sea, the rivers and springs, and on the sun.

00:05:24.659 --> 00:05:26.339
 Just like the trumpet judgments.

00:05:26.339 --> 00:05:30.339
 But like I said, these are on all the earth.

00:05:33.019 --> 00:05:38.060
 The last three bowls are poured out on the throne of the beast, on the great river Euphrates.

00:05:39.179 --> 00:05:45.899
 And finally, into the air, resulting in these massive hailstones coming down and crushing people.

00:05:45.899 --> 00:05:51.779
 So that you may know that I am the Lord.

00:05:55.779 --> 00:06:05.859
 Here we have before us God's full and final wrath poured out on earth.

00:06:05.860 --> 00:06:07.780
 It is terrifying.

00:06:08.939 --> 00:06:10.400
 So here's how we're going to proceed.

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.180
 I'm just going to walk us through the seven bowls, and then I'm going to summarize it all,

00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:16.900
 because I want you to feel the weight of something.

00:06:17.259 --> 00:06:20.060
 And then we're going to apply it to Palm Sunday.

00:06:23.939 --> 00:06:26.720
 When we go through the bowls here, I'm going to draw out some.

00:06:26.840 --> 00:06:31.340
 I just want you to notice, what is the bowl poured out on?

00:06:31.339 --> 00:06:33.299
 What is its effect?

00:06:33.859 --> 00:06:35.519
 And how is it responded to?

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:37.839
 So let's just walk through these bowls now.

00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:41.479
 Starting in chapter 16, verse 2, the first bowl.

00:06:41.899 --> 00:06:44.620
 So the first angel went out and poured out his bowl on the earth,

00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:51.620
 and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshipped its image.

00:06:51.739 --> 00:06:54.639
 So what was this bowl poured out on?

00:06:54.739 --> 00:06:57.259
 It was poured out on the earth.

00:06:57.259 --> 00:07:02.539
 But very specifically, all those people who bore the mark of the beast.

00:07:04.779 --> 00:07:09.279
 And remember, when we talked about the mark of the beast in past sermons,

00:07:09.579 --> 00:07:12.759
 it's essentially saying property of the beast.

00:07:14.099 --> 00:07:18.259
 The one who dictates their actions.

00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:22.279
 The one whom they follow in worship.

00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:30.239
 It's being poured out on those people who bear the mark of the beast,

00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:35.279
 not on those who have the name of the lamb and of God written on their foreheads.

00:07:36.339 --> 00:07:37.879
 Sealed with the seal of God.

00:07:41.159 --> 00:07:42.699
 And then you see the effect.

00:07:43.739 --> 00:07:47.639
 It's poured out on these people, and harmful and painful sores arise.

00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:52.159
 It's alluding to the sixth plague God poured out on Egypt, boils.

00:07:52.479 --> 00:07:55.039
 Has anybody had a bed sore before?

00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.659
 Or has anybody helped someone who's had a bed sore before?

00:07:58.979 --> 00:07:59.919
 They are awful.

00:08:00.479 --> 00:08:00.939
 Terrible.

00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.779
 It's hard to heal from.

00:08:06.259 --> 00:08:08.759
 These sores are awful.

00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:13.279
 And if you haven't noticed, the punishment fits the crime.

00:08:15.219 --> 00:08:17.759
 The sore matches the mark.

00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:28.560
 God is pouring out His judgment to those who are marked by the beast with sores.

00:08:30.159 --> 00:08:32.939
 It would have been extremely painful.

00:08:32.940 --> 00:08:40.560
 But remember why God in Exodus poured out the plagues on Pharaoh in Egypt?

00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:44.740
 So that they may know that God is the Lord.

00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:48.380
 That there's none like Him in the midst of the earth.

00:08:50.700 --> 00:08:53.860
 We don't see any kind of a response right here.

00:08:54.680 --> 00:08:58.980
 So we don't see how those who've been afflicted with these boils and sores,

00:08:59.080 --> 00:08:59.940
 how they respond.

00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:01.180
 We're just left guessing.

00:09:01.179 --> 00:09:03.179
 It would have been miserable.

00:09:04.839 --> 00:09:08.620
 And what you can't deny is that this is an act of God of judgment upon them.

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.659
 But we go to a second bowl, which means they must not have repented of the first one.

00:09:15.179 --> 00:09:17.399
 And so the second bowl we see in verse 3,

00:09:18.219 --> 00:09:21.439
 notice it's poured out into the sea.

00:09:24.319 --> 00:09:29.500
 Just as the first bowl was poured out on all the people bearing the mark of the beast.

00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:31.120
 It's universal in that sense.

00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:32.480
 So too here.

00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.519
 The sea is all salt water.

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:39.080
 All oceans.

00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:47.820
 God is devastating His creation to judge those who are not worshiping Him.

00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:54.840
 And the effect is that the sea becomes like the blood of a corpse.

00:09:55.800 --> 00:09:57.960
 Do you know what the blood of a corpse is like?

00:10:00.640 --> 00:10:01.620
 It's thick.

00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:04.139
 It congeals.

00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:06.220
 It's dark.

00:10:06.860 --> 00:10:08.440
 And it's toxic.

00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:14.960
 And so what is to come to your mind when you hear about all the seas being turned to blood,

00:10:15.060 --> 00:10:18.039
 this image, this picture that's being shown to us,

00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:25.039
 is you should have in the back of your mind what God, the plague He poured out on the Nile.

00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:30.860
 In Exodus chapter 7, the first plague, He turned the Nile into blood.

00:10:30.959 --> 00:10:33.259
 And remember what happened to the fish, if you're familiar with that story?

00:10:33.579 --> 00:10:34.319
 They all died.

00:10:37.939 --> 00:10:40.079
 So that they may know that I am the Lord.

00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:46.740
 So imagine all the creatures in the sea at this moment dying.

00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:48.840
 It's universal.

00:10:49.580 --> 00:10:50.540
 It's catastrophic.

00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:52.379
 All the whales dying.

00:10:53.920 --> 00:10:55.680
 All dolphins dying.

00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:56.720
 Schools of fish.

00:10:56.860 --> 00:10:58.139
 All schools of fish dying.

00:10:58.320 --> 00:10:59.940
 All crustaceans dying.

00:11:00.100 --> 00:11:02.920
 We thought bleached coral reefs is an issue.

00:11:03.300 --> 00:11:05.200
 This is going to be blooded coral reefs.

00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:06.960
 It's going to be awful.

00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.960
 And what's the effect economically?

00:11:11.900 --> 00:11:18.820
 Like, if you are surviving off the sea at this point, that means a sustenance is done.

00:11:21.540 --> 00:11:23.280
 We haven't even talked about the stench.

00:11:25.800 --> 00:11:28.720
 How do you think people at that time are going to explain stuff like this?

00:11:31.300 --> 00:11:33.080
 That they may know that I am the Lord.

00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:41.960
 We're not told the response of the people dwelling on the earth, those who bear the mark of the beast at this point.

00:11:42.580 --> 00:11:46.960
 But there's another bowl judgment that follows, which means that they don't repent.

00:11:48.160 --> 00:11:51.080
 They don't acknowledge God as the Lord.

00:11:51.080 --> 00:12:00.000
 And so here we're left after the first two bowls, thinking that people are just covered with harmful, painful sores,

00:12:00.160 --> 00:12:04.280
 and now they have a bloodbath of a sea to go to in the summertime.

00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:09.639
 The third bowl we see in verses 4-7.

00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:21.659
 We see that this bowl is poured out by a third angel in obedience to 16.1 into the rivers and springs of water.

00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:24.019
 Fresh water.

00:12:25.179 --> 00:12:26.480
 The source of drinking water.

00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:35.300
 And the effect is that this bowl poured out, this plague poured out, is like the first plague of Egypt again.

00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:38.539
 It turns fresh water into blood.

00:12:40.899 --> 00:12:49.379
 And in Exodus 7, we read that the Egyptians could not drink from the Nile because it had been turned to blood.

00:12:49.379 --> 00:12:53.519
 And the scope of this is not limited to the Nile River.

00:12:55.080 --> 00:13:01.480
 The scope of this plague, this bowl, is on all the rivers and springs of the earth.

00:13:02.580 --> 00:13:03.779
 It's catastrophic.

00:13:03.980 --> 00:13:04.580
 It's universal.

00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:06.340
 It's total in its scope.

00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:11.679
 Where are they going to get their drinking water from?

00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.240
 So think about it this way.

00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.919
 If this picture is helping us think about what's to come,

00:13:20.060 --> 00:13:23.000
 that changes the Mississippi.

00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:28.620
 It changes the way you think about the Ohio River and the Missouri River,

00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:31.299
 the Wisconsin River, the Fox River.

00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.200
 And then what about Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes?

00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:37.820
 And then what about the Pike River?

00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:39.659
 Has anybody been to Petrifying Springs?

00:13:40.060 --> 00:13:43.019
 Have you ever walked in that little hut where you get the water from?

00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:43.919
 No.

00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:48.500
 Is there going to come a day when that's pumping blood?

00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:57.019
 It's interesting is we have a response now.

00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:02.759
 There's a response to this plague in verse 5.

00:14:03.460 --> 00:14:07.879
 And it's the response of the angel who has authority over the water.

00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:12.059
 That angel says in verse 5,

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:15.960
 Just are you, O holy one, who is and who was.

00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:19.100
 Just, right, in all your ways.

00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:22.320
 Holy, there's none like you, who is and who was.

00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.240
 Eternal, for you brought these judgments.

00:14:25.820 --> 00:14:29.299
 God is behind these outpourings of wrath.

00:14:29.299 --> 00:14:33.000
 You're right to do it, he says.

00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.179
 And then we read this, verse 6,

00:14:39.299 --> 00:14:41.479
 The explanation of why it's right.

00:14:42.819 --> 00:14:46.240
 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,

00:14:46.579 --> 00:14:48.479
 and you have given them blood to drink.

00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:49.799
 It's what they deserve.

00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:53.359
 From an angel.

00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:57.680
 You're right in doing this, God.

00:14:57.940 --> 00:14:59.800
 You're right in this devastation.

00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:00.960
 Why?

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:04.940
 Because the ones this is being poured out on,

00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:08.779
 they shed the blood of your people.

00:15:09.620 --> 00:15:11.039
 The punishment fits the crime.

00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:16.319
 They shed the blood of God's people,

00:15:16.459 --> 00:15:18.339
 those whom he shed his blood for.

00:15:19.500 --> 00:15:21.500
 And now those who shed this blood,

00:15:21.659 --> 00:15:25.120
 they're going to drink the blood of the plague.

00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:28.599
 Fierce.

00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:34.079
 But it doesn't stop there.

00:15:34.219 --> 00:15:38.939
 There's another voice that joins this response.

00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:40.259
 In verse 7,

00:15:40.259 --> 00:15:41.659
 and I heard the altar saying,

00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:42.919
 it's not literally the altar.

00:15:43.340 --> 00:15:44.919
 It's not the altar speaking.

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:48.779
 Chapter 6,

00:15:49.340 --> 00:15:50.500
 verses 9, 10, 11.

00:15:50.580 --> 00:15:51.299
 Do you remember what happened?

00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:52.819
 Under the altar,

00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:53.819
 seal 5,

00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:56.379
 there were the martyrs.

00:15:57.439 --> 00:15:58.639
 And you remember what they were saying?

00:15:58.720 --> 00:15:59.539
 Oh, sovereign Lord,

00:15:59.539 --> 00:16:00.319
 how long,

00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:02.240
 how much longer

00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:03.539
 until you judge

00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:05.419
 and avenge

00:16:05.419 --> 00:16:06.419
 the blood,

00:16:06.620 --> 00:16:07.399
 our blood,

00:16:07.580 --> 00:16:09.379
 spilled by the dwellers of the earth?

00:16:10.259 --> 00:16:11.919
 And you know what they're saying?

00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:13.159
 Yes.

00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:15.700
 Yes, Lord,

00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:16.360
 the Almighty.

00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:17.799
 True and just

00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:18.819
 are your judgments.

00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.100
 God is vindicating

00:16:23.100 --> 00:16:24.500
 his people here

00:16:24.500 --> 00:16:26.860
 in graphic,

00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:28.740
 graphic detail.

00:16:30.179 --> 00:16:31.460
 The very ones

00:16:31.460 --> 00:16:32.500
 who shed their blood

00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:33.100
 are saying,

00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:33.819
 yes,

00:16:34.460 --> 00:16:35.240
 God,

00:16:35.539 --> 00:16:36.580
 take vengeance

00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:37.620
 on our behalf.

00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:39.720
 They've waited.

00:16:46.980 --> 00:16:48.160
 The response here

00:16:48.160 --> 00:16:49.379
 is not from those

00:16:49.379 --> 00:16:51.460
 who are bearing

00:16:51.460 --> 00:16:52.480
 the mark of the beast.

00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:53.139
 It's from

00:16:53.139 --> 00:16:54.040
 an angel

00:16:54.040 --> 00:16:54.740
 from heaven

00:16:54.740 --> 00:16:56.100
 and then martyrs

00:16:56.100 --> 00:16:57.700
 under the heavenly altar.

00:16:57.700 --> 00:16:59.280
 And there is the sense

00:16:59.280 --> 00:17:00.300
 of rejoicing

00:17:00.300 --> 00:17:01.840
 in God's

00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:03.020
 just wrath.

00:17:03.180 --> 00:17:04.420
 It's vindicating.

00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:05.580
 It's right.

00:17:05.980 --> 00:17:06.819
 God's justice

00:17:06.819 --> 00:17:08.420
 is finally coming down.

00:17:08.779 --> 00:17:09.860
 And it's in stark

00:17:09.860 --> 00:17:10.620
 contrast

00:17:10.620 --> 00:17:11.620
 to those

00:17:11.620 --> 00:17:13.039
 who've rejected God,

00:17:13.380 --> 00:17:14.640
 the unrepentant,

00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:15.680
 who are full

00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:16.880
 of painful sores.

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:17.660
 They have

00:17:17.660 --> 00:17:18.640
 a bloodbath

00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:19.319
 of a sea

00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:20.299
 and now

00:17:20.299 --> 00:17:21.640
 their fresh water

00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:22.160
 sources

00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:23.240
 have been turned

00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:23.860
 to blood.

00:17:26.140 --> 00:17:27.380
 Bowl number four.

00:17:28.539 --> 00:17:29.720
 Verses eight and nine.

00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:32.480
 This bowl

00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:33.759
 is poured out

00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:34.400
 on the sun

00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:35.319
 just like

00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:36.420
 the fourth trumpet

00:17:36.420 --> 00:17:38.019
 but instead

00:17:38.019 --> 00:17:38.799
 of darkness

00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:40.940
 this plague

00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:41.860
 intensifies

00:17:41.860 --> 00:17:42.860
 the heat of the sun

00:17:42.860 --> 00:17:43.759
 resulting

00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.480
 in the scorching

00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:46.039
 of those

00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:46.500
 who dwell

00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:47.279
 on the earth

00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:47.900
 with the mark

00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:48.539
 of the beast.

00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:51.019
 It's an added pain.

00:17:55.080 --> 00:17:56.120
 The effect

00:17:56.120 --> 00:17:57.420
 is this scorching

00:17:57.420 --> 00:17:58.759
 have you ever

00:17:58.759 --> 00:17:59.539
 been sunburned

00:17:59.539 --> 00:17:59.860
 before?

00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:02.740
 Severely

00:18:02.740 --> 00:18:06.480
 this changes

00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:07.080
 you going

00:18:07.080 --> 00:18:07.779
 outside.

00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:10.860
 And if

00:18:10.860 --> 00:18:12.140
 those who are

00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:12.500
 dwelling,

00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:13.180
 those bearing

00:18:13.180 --> 00:18:13.620
 the mark

00:18:13.620 --> 00:18:14.180
 of the beast

00:18:14.180 --> 00:18:15.460
 are being scorched

00:18:15.460 --> 00:18:16.140
 like this

00:18:16.140 --> 00:18:16.580
 which is just

00:18:16.580 --> 00:18:17.240
 a foretaste

00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:17.680
 of the lake

00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:18.120
 of fire

00:18:18.120 --> 00:18:19.039
 they're being

00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:19.720
 scorched

00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:20.160
 like this

00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:20.759
 what does this

00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:21.660
 mean for plants

00:18:21.660 --> 00:18:22.200
 and animals

00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:22.840
 on the planet?

00:18:27.840 --> 00:18:28.880
 What we see

00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:29.559
 going on

00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:29.819
 throughout

00:18:29.819 --> 00:18:30.620
 these plagues

00:18:30.620 --> 00:18:31.400
 is God

00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:32.220
 is acting

00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:34.279
 very purposefully

00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:35.480
 devastating

00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:36.660
 incrementally

00:18:36.660 --> 00:18:37.940
 his creation

00:18:37.940 --> 00:18:39.360
 as a way

00:18:39.360 --> 00:18:40.059
 of judging

00:18:40.059 --> 00:18:41.480
 the unrepentant

00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:42.700
 living on the planet.

00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:44.019
 God is saying

00:18:44.019 --> 00:18:45.440
 that you may know

00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:46.380
 that there is

00:18:46.380 --> 00:18:46.900
 no one

00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:47.880
 like me.

00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:52.840
 And in verse 9

00:18:52.840 --> 00:18:53.740
 we have the

00:18:53.740 --> 00:18:54.980
 first explicit

00:18:54.980 --> 00:18:55.860
 response

00:18:55.860 --> 00:18:57.100
 of those

00:18:57.100 --> 00:18:57.460
 who bear

00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:57.880
 the mark

00:18:57.880 --> 00:18:58.400
 of the beast

00:18:58.400 --> 00:18:59.180
 experiencing

00:18:59.180 --> 00:19:00.240
 these plagues.

00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:02.620
 Let me read

00:19:02.620 --> 00:19:03.200
 that for you.

00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:04.980
 They were scorched

00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:05.900
 by the fierce heat

00:19:05.900 --> 00:19:08.780
 and they called

00:19:08.780 --> 00:19:09.320
 out to God

00:19:09.320 --> 00:19:09.620
 and said

00:19:09.620 --> 00:19:10.140
 have mercy

00:19:10.140 --> 00:19:10.720
 on us.

00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:16.579
 And they cursed

00:19:16.579 --> 00:19:17.079
 the name

00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:17.579
 of God

00:19:17.579 --> 00:19:18.779
 who had power

00:19:18.779 --> 00:19:19.339
 over these

00:19:19.339 --> 00:19:19.779
 plagues.

00:19:20.360 --> 00:19:20.880
 They did not

00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:21.259
 repent

00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:21.860
 and give him

00:19:21.860 --> 00:19:22.920
 glory.

00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:24.019
 That word

00:19:24.019 --> 00:19:24.480
 curse

00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:25.500
 is where

00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:25.819
 we get

00:19:25.819 --> 00:19:26.600
 blasphemy

00:19:26.600 --> 00:19:27.000
 from.

00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:28.360
 They blasphemed

00:19:28.360 --> 00:19:28.759
 God.

00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:31.819
 They did

00:19:31.819 --> 00:19:32.680
 not repent.

00:19:34.100 --> 00:19:35.079
 The heat

00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:36.279
 that he

00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:36.900
 is pouring

00:19:36.900 --> 00:19:37.420
 out through

00:19:37.420 --> 00:19:38.160
 this plague

00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:38.940
 doesn't

00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:39.660
 soften

00:19:39.660 --> 00:19:40.860
 their heart.

00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:42.320
 It hardens

00:19:42.320 --> 00:19:43.519
 their hearts.

00:19:45.500 --> 00:19:46.460
 They don't

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:46.840
 repent.

00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:47.340
 They don't

00:19:47.340 --> 00:19:48.320
 turn from

00:19:48.320 --> 00:19:49.019
 worshiping

00:19:49.019 --> 00:19:49.540
 the beast.

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:50.380
 They keep

00:19:50.380 --> 00:19:50.920
 on

00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:51.620
 worshiping

00:19:51.620 --> 00:19:52.220
 the beast.

00:19:55.019 --> 00:19:56.000
 It's as if

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:56.660
 God is saying

00:19:56.660 --> 00:19:57.200
 through this

00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:57.759
 I am the

00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:58.120
 Lord

00:19:58.120 --> 00:19:59.620
 there's none

00:19:59.620 --> 00:20:00.440
 like me

00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:02.259
 and those

00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:02.860
 with the

00:20:02.860 --> 00:20:03.300
 mark of the

00:20:03.300 --> 00:20:03.700
 beast are

00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:04.120
 saying

00:20:04.120 --> 00:20:05.160
 we know

00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:05.779
 that

00:20:05.779 --> 00:20:06.680
 but we

00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:07.259
 refuse

00:20:07.259 --> 00:20:08.040
 to worship

00:20:08.040 --> 00:20:08.519
 you.

00:20:09.660 --> 00:20:10.380
 These are

00:20:10.380 --> 00:20:11.279
 not innocent

00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:12.060
 ignorant

00:20:12.060 --> 00:20:12.660
 people.

00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:15.040
 These are

00:20:15.040 --> 00:20:15.540
 people who

00:20:15.540 --> 00:20:16.380
 are consciously

00:20:16.380 --> 00:20:17.700
 rejecting

00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:18.940
 the God

00:20:18.940 --> 00:20:19.600
 of the

00:20:19.600 --> 00:20:19.960
 Bible.

00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:20.980
 They refuse

00:20:20.980 --> 00:20:22.440
 to give

00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:23.040
 him glory.

00:20:23.180 --> 00:20:23.880
 They refuse

00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:25.300
 to worship

00:20:25.300 --> 00:20:25.860
 him.

00:20:30.900 --> 00:20:31.600
 There's

00:20:31.600 --> 00:20:32.340
 this

00:20:32.340 --> 00:20:33.019
 truism.

00:20:35.540 --> 00:20:36.800
 You become

00:20:36.800 --> 00:20:38.140
 like the

00:20:38.140 --> 00:20:38.620
 one you

00:20:38.620 --> 00:20:38.960
 worship.

00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:41.059
 you take

00:20:41.059 --> 00:20:41.340
 on the

00:20:41.340 --> 00:20:41.779
 character

00:20:41.779 --> 00:20:42.700
 and conduct

00:20:42.700 --> 00:20:43.539
 of the

00:20:43.539 --> 00:20:43.980
 one that

00:20:43.980 --> 00:20:44.420
 controls

00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:44.880
 your heart.

00:20:46.620 --> 00:20:46.880
 And in

00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:47.720
 136

00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:48.019
 if you

00:20:48.019 --> 00:20:48.500
 flip back

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:49.480
 to 136

00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:51.259
 we have

00:20:51.259 --> 00:20:52.019
 kind of

00:20:52.019 --> 00:20:52.620
 the beast

00:20:52.620 --> 00:20:53.519
 in action.

00:20:53.779 --> 00:20:54.180
 It opened

00:20:54.180 --> 00:20:54.900
 its mouth

00:20:54.900 --> 00:20:55.480
 to utter

00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:56.740
 blasphemies

00:20:56.740 --> 00:20:57.700
 against God

00:20:57.700 --> 00:20:58.840
 blaspheming

00:20:58.840 --> 00:20:59.759
 his name

00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:00.200
 and his

00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:00.539
 dwelling

00:21:00.539 --> 00:21:01.079
 that is

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:02.100
 those who

00:21:02.100 --> 00:21:02.779
 dwell in

00:21:02.779 --> 00:21:03.039
 heaven.

00:21:03.420 --> 00:21:03.900
 These

00:21:03.900 --> 00:21:05.000
 dwellers of

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:05.400
 the earth

00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:05.840
 bearing the

00:21:05.840 --> 00:21:06.240
 mark of the

00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:06.519
 beast

00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:07.019
 they're

00:21:07.019 --> 00:21:07.339
 just

00:21:07.339 --> 00:21:07.740
 doing

00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:08.119
 what

00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:08.379
 their

00:21:08.379 --> 00:21:08.900
 savior

00:21:08.900 --> 00:21:09.299
 their

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:09.879
 false

00:21:09.879 --> 00:21:10.240
 savior

00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:10.539
 is

00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:10.819
 doing.

00:21:12.339 --> 00:21:12.740
 They're

00:21:12.740 --> 00:21:13.019
 becoming

00:21:13.019 --> 00:21:13.400
 like the

00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:13.700
 one they

00:21:13.700 --> 00:21:14.000
 worship.

00:21:14.379 --> 00:21:14.759
 It's a

00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:15.039
 settled

00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:15.539
 state of

00:21:15.539 --> 00:21:16.079
 spiritual

00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:17.059
 rebellion.

00:21:18.740 --> 00:21:19.319
 So the

00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:19.859
 blasphemy

00:21:19.859 --> 00:21:20.160
 would be

00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:20.440
 going with

00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:20.819
 something like

00:21:20.819 --> 00:21:21.019
 this.

00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:22.400
 You call

00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:23.019
 yourself a

00:21:23.019 --> 00:21:23.619
 loving God

00:21:23.619 --> 00:21:24.000
 and you're

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:24.539
 scorching

00:21:24.539 --> 00:21:25.039
 us.

00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:27.759
 How can

00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:28.119
 you do

00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:28.500
 this to

00:21:28.500 --> 00:21:28.920
 us?

00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:29.019
 us.

00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:30.220
 We

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:30.600
 knew

00:21:30.600 --> 00:21:30.980
 it.

00:21:34.820 --> 00:21:35.380
 All

00:21:35.380 --> 00:21:35.940
 along God

00:21:35.940 --> 00:21:36.320
 has been

00:21:36.320 --> 00:21:37.100
 pouring out

00:21:37.100 --> 00:21:38.700
 warning after

00:21:38.700 --> 00:21:39.340
 warning and

00:21:39.340 --> 00:21:40.120
 sealed judgments

00:21:40.120 --> 00:21:40.600
 and trumpet

00:21:40.600 --> 00:21:41.820
 judgments in

00:21:41.820 --> 00:21:42.500
 his kindness

00:21:42.500 --> 00:21:43.360
 calling all

00:21:43.360 --> 00:21:44.080
 these people to

00:21:44.080 --> 00:21:45.140
 repentance to

00:21:45.140 --> 00:21:45.840
 turn from the

00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:46.320
 worship of

00:21:46.320 --> 00:21:46.920
 false gods and

00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:47.480
 to turn to

00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:47.920
 worship the

00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:48.660
 one true God

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:49.500
 and they're

00:21:49.500 --> 00:21:50.519
 not having

00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:50.720
 it.

00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:51.039
 They're

00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:51.720
 blasping

00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:52.080
 him.

00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:55.759
 Refusing

00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:56.400
 to repent

00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:57.980
 and blaming

00:21:57.980 --> 00:21:59.500
 God for

00:21:59.500 --> 00:22:00.279
 their misery

00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:01.500
 when they

00:22:01.500 --> 00:22:02.299
 in fact have

00:22:02.299 --> 00:22:02.900
 brought it on

00:22:02.900 --> 00:22:03.460
 themselves.

00:22:06.620 --> 00:22:07.440
 It's a stark

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:08.259
 contrast to

00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:08.700
 what we just

00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:09.299
 read in verses

00:22:09.299 --> 00:22:09.839
 five and

00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:10.160
 seven.

00:22:11.019 --> 00:22:11.500
 There we have

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:12.460
 people rejoicing

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:13.160
 over the

00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:13.799
 outpouring of

00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:14.380
 God's wrath.

00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:14.980
 His justice

00:22:14.980 --> 00:22:16.140
 has come and

00:22:16.140 --> 00:22:16.799
 here we have

00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:18.019
 people blaspheming

00:22:18.019 --> 00:22:20.339
 God because

00:22:20.339 --> 00:22:20.880
 they think it's

00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:21.519
 somehow an act

00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:22.140
 of injustice.

00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:27.319
 The fifth

00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:27.619
 bowl.

00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:30.960
 Bowls one

00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:31.539
 through four

00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:32.960
 fall on the

00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:33.759
 created order

00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:34.960
 and now

00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:36.259
 bowls five,

00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:36.659
 six, and

00:22:36.659 --> 00:22:39.179
 seven, they

00:22:39.179 --> 00:22:40.480
 fall and

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:40.859
 they fall

00:22:40.859 --> 00:22:41.240
 hard.

00:22:43.939 --> 00:22:44.980
 We read in

00:22:44.980 --> 00:22:45.759
 the fifth bowl

00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.319
 that God's

00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:50.399
 plague, this

00:22:50.399 --> 00:22:51.599
 bowl is

00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:52.700
 poured out

00:22:52.700 --> 00:22:53.839
 upon the

00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:54.839
 throne of

00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:56.299
 of the

00:22:56.299 --> 00:22:56.799
 beast.

00:22:58.220 --> 00:22:58.939
 The throne

00:22:58.939 --> 00:22:59.199
 of the

00:22:59.199 --> 00:22:59.519
 beast.

00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:03.399
 That throne

00:23:03.399 --> 00:23:04.339
 is symbolic

00:23:04.339 --> 00:23:05.259
 of a domain.

00:23:06.299 --> 00:23:06.819
 Chapters four

00:23:06.819 --> 00:23:07.639
 and five, the

00:23:07.639 --> 00:23:09.259
 throne of God

00:23:09.259 --> 00:23:11.119
 in heaven, he's

00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:12.279
 seated over

00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:13.619
 all heaven

00:23:13.619 --> 00:23:14.980
 rules, Daniel

00:23:14.980 --> 00:23:15.599
 chapter four.

00:23:16.959 --> 00:23:18.019
 Here, this

00:23:18.019 --> 00:23:19.819
 throne is on

00:23:19.819 --> 00:23:20.740
 the earth and

00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:21.459
 if you remember

00:23:21.459 --> 00:23:22.720
 Pergamum, chapter

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:23.180
 two, verse

00:23:23.180 --> 00:23:24.720
 13, there

00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:25.620
 dwelt the

00:23:25.620 --> 00:23:26.100
 throne of

00:23:26.100 --> 00:23:26.460
 Satan.

00:23:27.019 --> 00:23:27.579
 And so the

00:23:27.579 --> 00:23:28.559
 object of this

00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:30.740
 plague is the

00:23:30.740 --> 00:23:32.319
 satanic dominion

00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:33.579
 on earth being

00:23:33.579 --> 00:23:34.480
 carried out by

00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:35.100
 the beast.

00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:36.120
 What we see

00:23:36.120 --> 00:23:37.180
 going on here is

00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:38.079
 a definite

00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:39.240
 counter-assault

00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:40.019
 from God

00:23:40.019 --> 00:23:40.640
 most high.

00:23:42.740 --> 00:23:44.220
 And the

00:23:44.220 --> 00:23:46.240
 effect is

00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:46.680
 darkness.

00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:49.940
 It reminds us of

00:23:49.940 --> 00:23:51.120
 the ninth plague in

00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:52.019
 Exodus chapter

00:23:52.019 --> 00:23:52.439
 10.

00:23:52.659 --> 00:23:54.799
 And it's

00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:55.599
 deeply ironic

00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:58.559
 because the

00:23:58.559 --> 00:23:59.139
 domain of the

00:23:59.139 --> 00:23:59.739
 beast was

00:23:59.739 --> 00:24:01.279
 established upon

00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:02.059
 deception.

00:24:03.099 --> 00:24:03.619
 The false

00:24:03.619 --> 00:24:05.299
 prophet deceiving

00:24:05.299 --> 00:24:06.319
 the nations into

00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:06.979
 the worship of

00:24:06.979 --> 00:24:07.299
 the beast.

00:24:07.639 --> 00:24:08.219
 They're in the

00:24:08.219 --> 00:24:08.599
 dark.

00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:11.559
 And now what

00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:12.299
 is going on

00:24:12.299 --> 00:24:13.739
 here is God

00:24:13.739 --> 00:24:15.159
 is pouring out

00:24:15.159 --> 00:24:16.619
 darkness onto

00:24:16.619 --> 00:24:17.959
 the throne, the

00:24:17.959 --> 00:24:18.879
 domain of

00:24:18.879 --> 00:24:19.479
 darkness.

00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:21.039
 confusion,

00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:22.620
 chaos,

00:24:23.259 --> 00:24:24.039
 unraveling,

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:25.019
 disorder.

00:24:25.360 --> 00:24:26.079
 What we have

00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:27.539
 going on here is

00:24:27.539 --> 00:24:29.000
 the unseating of

00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:30.120
 the beast, the

00:24:30.120 --> 00:24:31.039
 dethroning of

00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:32.279
 sorts of the

00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:32.779
 beast.

00:24:34.380 --> 00:24:35.259
 That you may

00:24:35.259 --> 00:24:35.700
 know

00:24:35.700 --> 00:24:39.319
 that I alone

00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:39.819
 am God.

00:24:43.700 --> 00:24:44.860
 The response of

00:24:44.860 --> 00:24:45.259
 the wicked,

00:24:45.460 --> 00:24:46.000
 verses 10 and

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:46.299
 11.

00:24:46.299 --> 00:24:47.700
 yes, God,

00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:48.460
 thank you.

00:24:48.899 --> 00:24:49.779
 Thank you for

00:24:49.779 --> 00:24:50.779
 delivering us from

00:24:50.779 --> 00:24:51.440
 the throne of the

00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:52.339
 beast, for

00:24:52.339 --> 00:24:53.319
 transferring us from

00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:54.220
 the domain of

00:24:54.220 --> 00:24:55.119
 darkness into the

00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:55.680
 kingdom of the

00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:56.500
 beloved son.

00:24:57.940 --> 00:24:58.839
 We don't see

00:24:58.839 --> 00:24:59.139
 that.

00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:02.619
 In verse 10, we

00:25:02.619 --> 00:25:03.919
 read people nod

00:25:03.919 --> 00:25:04.659
 their tongues in

00:25:04.659 --> 00:25:05.200
 anguish.

00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:07.200
 Under this

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:07.919
 darkness,

00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:11.059
 Jesus warned of

00:25:11.059 --> 00:25:12.500
 final judgment,

00:25:12.700 --> 00:25:13.619
 being, people being

00:25:13.619 --> 00:25:15.279
 cast into outer

00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:16.139
 darkness where

00:25:16.139 --> 00:25:16.599
 there will be

00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:17.679
 weeping and

00:25:17.679 --> 00:25:18.279
 gnashing of

00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:18.879
 teeth and

00:25:18.879 --> 00:25:20.259
 apparently gnawing

00:25:20.259 --> 00:25:20.939
 of tongues.

00:25:25.219 --> 00:25:26.019
 And they

00:25:26.019 --> 00:25:26.739
 continue the

00:25:26.739 --> 00:25:27.559
 blasphemy in

00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:28.099
 verse 11.

00:25:29.219 --> 00:25:29.879
 And they

00:25:29.879 --> 00:25:30.779
 cursed the God

00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:32.099
 of heaven for

00:25:32.099 --> 00:25:32.879
 their pains and

00:25:32.879 --> 00:25:33.299
 sores.

00:25:33.779 --> 00:25:34.279
 They did not

00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:35.659
 repent of

00:25:35.659 --> 00:25:36.199
 their deeds.

00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:38.640
 They didn't

00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:39.120
 repent.

00:25:41.299 --> 00:25:42.039
 God is

00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:42.640
 pouring out

00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:44.140
 this plague so

00:25:44.140 --> 00:25:44.640
 that they may

00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:45.740
 know that he

00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:46.519
 is the Lord of

00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:47.000
 the earth.

00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:48.059
 They do not

00:25:48.059 --> 00:25:48.539
 repent.

00:25:48.940 --> 00:25:50.580
 They persist in

00:25:50.580 --> 00:25:51.480
 their following

00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:53.340
 after the

00:25:53.340 --> 00:25:53.779
 beast.

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:57.259
 The sixth

00:25:57.259 --> 00:25:57.500
 bowl.

00:25:58.940 --> 00:25:59.640
 Things get

00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:00.380
 really interesting.

00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:02.480
 In the sixth

00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:02.940
 bowl, we

00:26:02.940 --> 00:26:04.519
 learn that

00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:06.500
 this bowl

00:26:06.500 --> 00:26:07.099
 is poured

00:26:07.099 --> 00:26:09.539
 out upon

00:26:09.539 --> 00:26:10.259
 the Euphrates

00:26:10.259 --> 00:26:10.940
 River.

00:26:11.639 --> 00:26:12.240
 The great

00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:12.879
 Euphrates.

00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:14.940
 Verse 12.

00:26:15.019 --> 00:26:15.200
 And you

00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:15.500
 might be

00:26:15.500 --> 00:26:15.900
 saying, well,

00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:16.299
 what's up

00:26:16.299 --> 00:26:16.639
 with that?

00:26:16.900 --> 00:26:17.619
 Well, the

00:26:17.619 --> 00:26:18.559
 Euphrates was

00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:20.139
 a natural

00:26:20.139 --> 00:26:21.240
 barrier for

00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:22.500
 ancient Israel

00:26:22.500 --> 00:26:24.039
 that protected

00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:25.119
 ancient Israel

00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:25.879
 from enemy

00:26:25.879 --> 00:26:26.720
 invasion coming

00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:27.180
 from the

00:26:27.180 --> 00:26:28.059
 northeast.

00:26:30.220 --> 00:26:31.180
 And so what

00:26:31.180 --> 00:26:31.720
 we see going

00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:32.379
 on here, the

00:26:32.379 --> 00:26:33.400
 effect of this

00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:34.259
 plague, is

00:26:34.259 --> 00:26:34.579
 that the

00:26:34.579 --> 00:26:35.339
 Euphrates is

00:26:35.339 --> 00:26:35.879
 dried up.

00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:36.460
 It's God's

00:26:36.460 --> 00:26:36.879
 will that it

00:26:36.879 --> 00:26:37.539
 was dried up.

00:26:38.859 --> 00:26:39.440
 The Euphrates

00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:40.359
 is dried up

00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:42.220
 and it makes

00:26:42.220 --> 00:26:43.599
 a way for

00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:44.319
 the kings

00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:45.180
 from the

00:26:45.180 --> 00:26:46.440
 east to

00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:48.480
 come and

00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:49.000
 assemble

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:51.339
 against God

00:26:51.339 --> 00:26:52.000
 the almighty.

00:26:57.519 --> 00:26:58.160
 Really?

00:26:58.160 --> 00:26:58.259
 Really?

00:26:58.259 --> 00:27:04.420
 assemble

00:27:04.420 --> 00:27:07.579
 against God

00:27:07.579 --> 00:27:09.279
 almighty?

00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:14.180
 How is it

00:27:14.180 --> 00:27:14.859
 possible

00:27:14.859 --> 00:27:18.839
 that a

00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:19.680
 human being

00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:21.059
 would

00:27:21.059 --> 00:27:21.900
 entertain

00:27:21.900 --> 00:27:23.900
 the very

00:27:23.900 --> 00:27:24.839
 idea

00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:26.279
 of

00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:27.599
 drawing

00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:28.079
 to a

00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:28.500
 battlefield

00:27:28.500 --> 00:27:29.480
 opposed

00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:29.799
 to

00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:30.439
 God

00:27:30.439 --> 00:27:30.899
 the

00:27:30.899 --> 00:27:31.299
 almighty?

00:27:35.299 --> 00:27:36.139
 How is

00:27:36.139 --> 00:27:36.299
 that

00:27:36.299 --> 00:27:36.779
 possible?

00:27:39.159 --> 00:27:39.980
 Well, we're

00:27:39.980 --> 00:27:40.980
 told how

00:27:40.980 --> 00:27:41.220
 it's

00:27:41.220 --> 00:27:41.639
 possible.

00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:42.559
 Not only

00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:42.879
 are these

00:27:42.879 --> 00:27:44.240
 human beings

00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:44.980
 settled in

00:27:44.980 --> 00:27:45.679
 their opposition

00:27:45.679 --> 00:27:46.319
 to God,

00:27:47.159 --> 00:27:47.919
 but we read

00:27:47.919 --> 00:27:48.539
 in 13 and

00:27:48.539 --> 00:27:48.899
 14,

00:27:48.900 --> 00:27:49.360
 I saw

00:27:49.360 --> 00:27:49.880
 coming out

00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:50.060
 of the

00:27:50.060 --> 00:27:50.340
 mouth

00:27:50.340 --> 00:27:50.940
 of the

00:27:50.940 --> 00:27:51.320
 dragon

00:27:51.320 --> 00:27:51.700
 and out

00:27:51.700 --> 00:27:51.860
 of the

00:27:51.860 --> 00:27:52.100
 mouth

00:27:52.100 --> 00:27:52.340
 of the

00:27:52.340 --> 00:27:52.620
 beast

00:27:52.620 --> 00:27:52.960
 and out

00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:53.080
 of the

00:27:53.080 --> 00:27:53.280
 mouth

00:27:53.280 --> 00:27:53.519
 of the

00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:53.780
 false

00:27:53.780 --> 00:27:54.220
 prophet,

00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:54.759
 the

00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:55.720
 anti-trinity.

00:27:58.340 --> 00:27:58.960
 Out of

00:27:58.960 --> 00:27:59.600
 their mouths

00:27:59.600 --> 00:28:00.680
 three unclean

00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:01.480
 spirits like

00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:01.940
 frogs,

00:28:02.259 --> 00:28:02.620
 demons,

00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:03.560
 for they are

00:28:03.560 --> 00:28:04.320
 demonic spirits

00:28:04.320 --> 00:28:05.259
 performing signs

00:28:05.259 --> 00:28:05.980
 who go abroad

00:28:05.980 --> 00:28:06.540
 to the kings

00:28:06.540 --> 00:28:07.100
 of the whole

00:28:07.100 --> 00:28:07.500
 world,

00:28:07.780 --> 00:28:08.240
 not just

00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:08.660
 kings of

00:28:08.660 --> 00:28:09.040
 the east,

00:28:09.280 --> 00:28:09.640
 but they're

00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:09.860
 going to

00:28:09.860 --> 00:28:10.680
 assemble all

00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:11.180
 kings from

00:28:11.180 --> 00:28:11.620
 all the

00:28:11.620 --> 00:28:12.500
 world to

00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:14.019
 move towards

00:28:14.019 --> 00:28:14.620
 God

00:28:14.620 --> 00:28:15.300
 almighty

00:28:15.300 --> 00:28:16.360
 and draw a

00:28:16.360 --> 00:28:17.080
 battle line

00:28:17.080 --> 00:28:17.800
 against him

00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:18.720
 to fight

00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:19.099
 him.

00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:24.940
 They're not

00:28:24.940 --> 00:28:25.139
 in their

00:28:25.139 --> 00:28:25.680
 right minds

00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:26.220
 because not

00:28:26.220 --> 00:28:26.940
 only settled

00:28:26.940 --> 00:28:27.240
 in their

00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:27.879
 opposition to

00:28:27.879 --> 00:28:28.099
 God,

00:28:28.180 --> 00:28:28.319
 they're

00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:29.159
 demonically

00:28:29.159 --> 00:28:30.240
 deceived.

00:28:34.220 --> 00:28:35.259
 Those frogs

00:28:35.259 --> 00:28:36.000
 make you think

00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:36.500
 about the

00:28:36.500 --> 00:28:37.259
 second plague

00:28:37.259 --> 00:28:37.759
 of Egypt

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:38.480
 in Exodus

00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:39.319
 chapter 8.

00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:40.700
 And if you

00:28:40.700 --> 00:28:41.500
 remember that

00:28:41.500 --> 00:28:42.079
 account,

00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:43.700
 this was one

00:28:43.700 --> 00:28:44.359
 of those plagues

00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:45.059
 that Pharaoh's

00:28:45.059 --> 00:28:46.079
 magicians were

00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:46.859
 able to

00:28:46.859 --> 00:28:47.859
 replicate.

00:28:49.199 --> 00:28:49.459
 And so

00:28:49.459 --> 00:28:50.479
 maybe a way

00:28:50.479 --> 00:28:50.799
 to think

00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:51.240
 about what's

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:51.740
 going on

00:28:51.740 --> 00:28:52.279
 here is

00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:53.159
 God is

00:28:53.159 --> 00:28:53.659
 pouring out

00:28:53.659 --> 00:28:54.439
 his plagues

00:28:54.439 --> 00:28:55.319
 on earth

00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:56.099
 and here's

00:28:56.099 --> 00:28:57.119
 the anti-trinity

00:28:57.119 --> 00:28:58.019
 kind of

00:28:58.019 --> 00:28:59.240
 replicating a

00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:00.039
 little plague.

00:29:01.199 --> 00:29:01.839
 But they're

00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:02.419
 all falling

00:29:02.419 --> 00:29:03.099
 into God's

00:29:03.099 --> 00:29:04.279
 grand plan

00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:06.219
 because it's

00:29:06.219 --> 00:29:06.639
 God who

00:29:06.639 --> 00:29:07.179
 dried up the

00:29:07.179 --> 00:29:07.639
 Euphrates

00:29:07.639 --> 00:29:09.399
 and it's

00:29:09.399 --> 00:29:09.859
 God who's

00:29:09.859 --> 00:29:10.399
 waiting for

00:29:10.399 --> 00:29:11.319
 them on the

00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:11.699
 battlefield

00:29:11.699 --> 00:29:12.339
 called

00:29:12.339 --> 00:29:13.879
 Armageddon.

00:29:15.159 --> 00:29:15.539
 Literally

00:29:15.539 --> 00:29:16.399
 in verse 16

00:29:16.399 --> 00:29:17.119
 Armageddon

00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:18.220
 means Mount

00:29:18.220 --> 00:29:18.819
 Megiddo.

00:29:20.259 --> 00:29:20.619
 And what you

00:29:20.619 --> 00:29:20.980
 need to know,

00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:21.279
 I'm not going

00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:21.639
 to get into a

00:29:21.639 --> 00:29:22.139
 lot of detail

00:29:22.139 --> 00:29:22.700
 here, but what

00:29:22.700 --> 00:29:23.019
 you need to

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:24.240
 know on that

00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:25.980
 site, there

00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:26.559
 was several

00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:28.119
 battles fought

00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:30.000
 and a couple

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:30.399
 of them in

00:29:30.399 --> 00:29:32.599
 particular were

00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:33.220
 fought against

00:29:33.220 --> 00:29:34.220
 foreign kings.

00:29:36.220 --> 00:29:36.960
 And so what

00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:37.759
 we have here

00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:39.819
 is a place

00:29:39.819 --> 00:29:40.940
 where God

00:29:40.940 --> 00:29:42.559
 engages foreign

00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:44.519
 kings in a

00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:46.139
 battle, epic

00:29:46.139 --> 00:29:47.559
 battle of

00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:48.759
 all, for

00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:49.599
 all time.

00:29:51.919 --> 00:29:52.859
 And they

00:29:52.859 --> 00:29:53.879
 think that

00:29:53.879 --> 00:29:54.399
 they're sneaking

00:29:54.399 --> 00:29:56.319
 up on God.

00:29:57.940 --> 00:29:58.339
 Euphrates

00:29:58.339 --> 00:29:58.980
 dried up,

00:29:59.319 --> 00:29:59.919
 resulting in

00:29:59.919 --> 00:30:00.460
 foreign kings

00:30:00.460 --> 00:30:01.019
 from all the

00:30:01.019 --> 00:30:02.220
 world, drawing

00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:03.000
 a battle line

00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:03.879
 against God

00:30:03.879 --> 00:30:04.639
 under demonic

00:30:04.639 --> 00:30:06.099
 influence for

00:30:06.099 --> 00:30:07.399
 the great day

00:30:07.399 --> 00:30:08.759
 of battle of

00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:09.399
 God the

00:30:09.399 --> 00:30:09.799
 Almighty.

00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:12.659
 Do we see

00:30:12.659 --> 00:30:13.099
 any kind of

00:30:13.099 --> 00:30:13.740
 a response

00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:14.059
 here?

00:30:15.259 --> 00:30:15.899
 We don't

00:30:15.899 --> 00:30:16.579
 read the

00:30:16.579 --> 00:30:17.759
 words they

00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:18.460
 weren't willing

00:30:18.460 --> 00:30:18.960
 to repent.

00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:19.859
 We don't

00:30:19.859 --> 00:30:20.339
 read the

00:30:20.339 --> 00:30:21.680
 words cursing

00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:22.039
 God.

00:30:22.259 --> 00:30:22.899
 But when you

00:30:22.899 --> 00:30:24.799
 see humankind

00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:26.720
 gather in

00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:27.700
 opposition to

00:30:27.700 --> 00:30:28.460
 God on a

00:30:28.460 --> 00:30:30.659
 battlefield, that

00:30:30.659 --> 00:30:31.519
 is opposition

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:32.639
 to God

00:30:32.639 --> 00:30:33.659
 pictured.

00:30:35.159 --> 00:30:35.899
 These are

00:30:35.899 --> 00:30:36.960
 people unwilling

00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:37.659
 to repent,

00:30:38.339 --> 00:30:38.940
 unwilling to

00:30:38.940 --> 00:30:39.579
 give God the

00:30:39.579 --> 00:30:40.059
 glory due

00:30:40.059 --> 00:30:40.639
 his name.

00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:41.379
 They are

00:30:41.379 --> 00:30:42.439
 standing there

00:30:42.439 --> 00:30:43.179
 and by virtue

00:30:43.179 --> 00:30:43.679
 of, they're

00:30:43.679 --> 00:30:44.539
 blaspheming

00:30:44.539 --> 00:30:44.819
 him.

00:30:49.019 --> 00:30:49.819
 We're not

00:30:49.819 --> 00:30:50.599
 told how the

00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:51.399
 battle goes

00:30:51.399 --> 00:30:51.720
 here.

00:30:52.919 --> 00:30:54.119
 We're told how

00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:54.539
 the battle

00:30:54.539 --> 00:30:55.359
 goes at

00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:56.019
 Armageddon

00:30:56.019 --> 00:30:56.960
 in Revelation

00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:58.879
 19, 11

00:30:58.879 --> 00:30:59.759
 through 21.

00:31:00.639 --> 00:31:01.439
 We're given

00:31:01.439 --> 00:31:02.399
 a clue here.

00:31:03.539 --> 00:31:03.879
 Look at

00:31:03.879 --> 00:31:04.539
 verse 15.

00:31:04.659 --> 00:31:05.179
 It's kind

00:31:05.179 --> 00:31:05.659
 of out of

00:31:05.659 --> 00:31:06.000
 nowhere.

00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:08.740
 Behold, I'm

00:31:08.740 --> 00:31:09.220
 coming like

00:31:09.220 --> 00:31:09.720
 a thief.

00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:10.740
 Blessed is

00:31:10.740 --> 00:31:11.180
 the one who

00:31:11.180 --> 00:31:12.200
 stays awake,

00:31:12.339 --> 00:31:12.740
 keeping his

00:31:12.740 --> 00:31:13.380
 garments on,

00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:13.980
 that he may

00:31:13.980 --> 00:31:14.620
 not go about

00:31:14.620 --> 00:31:15.460
 naked and be

00:31:15.460 --> 00:31:16.779
 seen exposed.

00:31:17.140 --> 00:31:17.680
 In the middle

00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:18.000
 of this

00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:19.259
 assembling, we

00:31:19.259 --> 00:31:19.700
 have this

00:31:19.700 --> 00:31:20.960
 promised coming

00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:21.559
 of Jesus.

00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:22.740
 And then that

00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:23.279
 coming of

00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:24.380
 Jesus is

00:31:24.380 --> 00:31:25.120
 pictured in

00:31:25.120 --> 00:31:26.000
 Revelation 19,

00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:26.660
 11 through

00:31:26.660 --> 00:31:27.200
 21.

00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:28.579
 And in that

00:31:28.579 --> 00:31:29.620
 passage, Jesus

00:31:29.620 --> 00:31:30.480
 not only shows

00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:31.079
 up as the

00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:31.960
 warrior king who's

00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:32.400
 going to rock

00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:33.480
 the world, he

00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:34.980
 actually invites

00:31:34.980 --> 00:31:36.120
 birds to this

00:31:36.120 --> 00:31:37.079
 battle because

00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:38.259
 they're going to

00:31:38.259 --> 00:31:40.200
 eat the flesh of

00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:41.180
 all of these kings

00:31:41.180 --> 00:31:42.079
 that he defeats.

00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:43.920
 It's gruesome.

00:31:45.900 --> 00:31:46.819
 That they may

00:31:46.819 --> 00:31:50.059
 know that no

00:31:50.059 --> 00:31:51.980
 one on earth is

00:31:51.980 --> 00:31:52.579
 like God.

00:31:55.339 --> 00:31:56.599
 What is obvious

00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:57.680
 about this

00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:00.360
 particular plague is

00:32:00.360 --> 00:32:01.480
 that God is

00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:02.640
 orchestrating it

00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:03.059
 all.

00:32:04.259 --> 00:32:04.960
 Bringing about

00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:06.200
 this final battle

00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:07.839
 that will happen

00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:09.140
 at Armageddon

00:32:09.140 --> 00:32:10.620
 in which God

00:32:10.620 --> 00:32:12.680
 wins the

00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:13.079
 victory.

00:32:17.579 --> 00:32:18.680
 The seventh

00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:18.920
 bowl.

00:32:21.220 --> 00:32:22.400
 Verses 17

00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:23.120
 through 21.

00:32:23.980 --> 00:32:24.500
 The final

00:32:24.500 --> 00:32:26.140
 angel throws

00:32:26.140 --> 00:32:27.880
 his bowl,

00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:29.019
 the contents

00:32:29.019 --> 00:32:29.759
 of which,

00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:31.039
 into the

00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:32.319
 air, we

00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:32.659
 read.

00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:35.920
 Ephesians 2.2,

00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:37.759
 we read that

00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:38.659
 Satan is the

00:32:38.659 --> 00:32:39.519
 prince of the

00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:40.500
 power of the

00:32:40.500 --> 00:32:40.839
 air.

00:32:41.339 --> 00:32:42.879
 All that is

00:32:42.879 --> 00:32:44.339
 below heaven.

00:32:46.099 --> 00:32:47.119
 All under

00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:47.859
 his domain.

00:32:49.579 --> 00:32:50.299
 And immediately,

00:32:50.779 --> 00:32:51.500
 the effect that

00:32:51.500 --> 00:32:52.740
 we read is in

00:32:52.740 --> 00:32:53.500
 verse 17,

00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:54.720
 that there is

00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:56.599
 this voice from

00:32:56.599 --> 00:32:57.779
 heaven, from

00:32:57.779 --> 00:32:58.440
 the temple,

00:32:58.779 --> 00:32:59.700
 and it cries

00:32:59.700 --> 00:33:00.359
 out,

00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:02.539
 it is

00:33:02.539 --> 00:33:03.519
 done.

00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:03.619
 It is

00:33:03.619 --> 00:33:03.639
 done.

00:33:06.139 --> 00:33:07.259
 With the

00:33:07.259 --> 00:33:07.899
 pouring out of

00:33:07.899 --> 00:33:08.479
 this last

00:33:08.479 --> 00:33:10.079
 bowl, God's

00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:11.319
 wrath is

00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:12.159
 finished.

00:33:12.579 --> 00:33:13.000
 And then,

00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:14.119
 then we're

00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:14.740
 shown what it

00:33:14.740 --> 00:33:15.159
 is.

00:33:18.039 --> 00:33:19.500
 Verse 18,

00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:20.000
 this,

00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:22.019
 it is done,

00:33:22.619 --> 00:33:22.819
 this

00:33:22.819 --> 00:33:23.879
 pronouncement,

00:33:24.919 --> 00:33:25.419
 it is

00:33:25.419 --> 00:33:25.899
 immediately

00:33:25.899 --> 00:33:26.699
 followed by

00:33:26.699 --> 00:33:27.500
 flashes of

00:33:27.500 --> 00:33:27.899
 lightning,

00:33:27.900 --> 00:33:29.060
 rumblings,

00:33:29.460 --> 00:33:29.900
 peals of

00:33:29.900 --> 00:33:30.180
 thunder,

00:33:30.180 --> 00:33:30.680
 and the

00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:31.019
 greatest

00:33:31.019 --> 00:33:31.920
 earthquake the

00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:32.400
 earth has

00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:32.880
 ever known.

00:33:32.940 --> 00:33:33.360
 Here's how you

00:33:33.360 --> 00:33:33.780
 need to think

00:33:33.780 --> 00:33:34.300
 about those.

00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:35.420
 Think about

00:33:35.420 --> 00:33:36.060
 those as

00:33:36.060 --> 00:33:37.220
 natural

00:33:37.220 --> 00:33:38.180
 exclamation

00:33:38.180 --> 00:33:39.120
 points on

00:33:39.120 --> 00:33:39.700
 those three

00:33:39.700 --> 00:33:40.100
 words,

00:33:40.280 --> 00:33:41.140
 it is done.

00:33:41.860 --> 00:33:42.900
 It is done!

00:33:43.500 --> 00:33:44.640
 Exclamation point,

00:33:45.060 --> 00:33:45.340
 lightning.

00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:46.920
 It is done!

00:33:47.180 --> 00:33:48.160
 Exclamation point

00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:48.759
 number two,

00:33:49.100 --> 00:33:49.400
 rumbling.

00:33:49.940 --> 00:33:50.940
 It is done!

00:33:51.120 --> 00:33:52.019
 Exclamation point

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:52.560
 number three,

00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:53.200
 peals of

00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:53.440
 thunder.

00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:55.480
 It is done!

00:33:55.660 --> 00:33:56.299
 The biggest

00:33:56.299 --> 00:33:57.620
 exclamation point

00:33:57.620 --> 00:33:58.299
 of them all

00:33:58.299 --> 00:33:59.059
 is the greatest

00:33:59.059 --> 00:33:59.860
 earthquake that

00:33:59.860 --> 00:34:00.360
 has ever been

00:34:00.360 --> 00:34:01.120
 experienced.

00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:03.120
 It's the same

00:34:03.120 --> 00:34:04.259
 earthquake referenced

00:34:04.259 --> 00:34:05.880
 in Revelation

00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:06.920
 chapter 6,

00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:08.679
 and the unveiling

00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:09.619
 of the sixth seal.

00:34:10.940 --> 00:34:11.920
 That earthquake.

00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:15.059
 And this

00:34:15.059 --> 00:34:15.639
 earthquake,

00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:16.900
 verse 19,

00:34:19.500 --> 00:34:20.599
 breaks the

00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:21.240
 great city

00:34:21.240 --> 00:34:21.860
 Babylon

00:34:21.860 --> 00:34:23.460
 into three

00:34:23.460 --> 00:34:23.960
 parts.

00:34:24.120 --> 00:34:25.000
 It's destroyed.

00:34:26.860 --> 00:34:27.900
 Not just

00:34:27.900 --> 00:34:28.400
 Babylon,

00:34:28.620 --> 00:34:29.340
 all the

00:34:29.340 --> 00:34:29.840
 cities

00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:30.599
 of the

00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:31.079
 nations

00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:32.680
 connected

00:34:32.680 --> 00:34:33.780
 to Babylon.

00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:34.420
 Babylon

00:34:34.420 --> 00:34:36.440
 is the

00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:38.220
 embodied,

00:34:38.740 --> 00:34:39.280
 peopled

00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:40.140
 rebellion

00:34:40.140 --> 00:34:41.539
 against God.

00:34:42.579 --> 00:34:42.740
 And

00:34:42.740 --> 00:34:43.760
 Babylon

00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:44.860
 shares

00:34:44.860 --> 00:34:45.720
 her

00:34:45.720 --> 00:34:46.840
 drunken

00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:47.880
 immorality

00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:48.700
 with all

00:34:48.700 --> 00:34:49.220
 the nations

00:34:49.220 --> 00:34:49.880
 of the world

00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:50.579
 that they

00:34:50.579 --> 00:34:51.360
 oppose

00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:52.000
 God.

00:34:52.200 --> 00:34:52.680
 It's the

00:34:52.680 --> 00:34:53.360
 whole global

00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:54.360
 system opposing

00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:54.820
 God,

00:34:55.300 --> 00:34:55.800
 and it

00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:56.780
 crumbles

00:34:56.780 --> 00:34:58.140
 with this

00:34:58.140 --> 00:34:58.840
 it is done,

00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:00.200
 with this

00:35:00.200 --> 00:35:00.660
 earthquake.

00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:02.340
 All of it

00:35:02.340 --> 00:35:04.099
 becomes

00:35:04.099 --> 00:35:04.780
 undone.

00:35:05.700 --> 00:35:05.960
 And you

00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:06.640
 don't read

00:35:06.640 --> 00:35:07.220
 about

00:35:07.220 --> 00:35:08.500
 Babylon

00:35:08.500 --> 00:35:09.740
 drinking

00:35:09.740 --> 00:35:11.019
 down the

00:35:11.019 --> 00:35:11.760
 cup of

00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:12.340
 the fury

00:35:12.340 --> 00:35:13.140
 of God's

00:35:13.140 --> 00:35:13.559
 wrath.

00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:14.200
 You don't

00:35:14.200 --> 00:35:14.820
 read about it

00:35:14.820 --> 00:35:15.220
 in full

00:35:15.220 --> 00:35:15.619
 until you

00:35:15.619 --> 00:35:15.920
 get to

00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:16.619
 chapter 18.

00:35:18.059 --> 00:35:18.660
 It's

00:35:18.660 --> 00:35:19.380
 gruesome.

00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:23.880
 And

00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:24.380
 in verse

00:35:24.380 --> 00:35:24.820
 20,

00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:25.700
 again,

00:35:25.780 --> 00:35:26.099
 there's an

00:35:26.099 --> 00:35:26.760
 echo from

00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:27.180
 Revelation

00:35:27.180 --> 00:35:28.099
 chapter 6.

00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:28.980
 Islands

00:35:28.980 --> 00:35:29.519
 fleeing,

00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:30.200
 mountains

00:35:30.200 --> 00:35:30.700
 moving.

00:35:31.160 --> 00:35:31.380
 It's

00:35:31.380 --> 00:35:32.420
 geologic

00:35:32.420 --> 00:35:33.780
 devastation

00:35:33.780 --> 00:35:35.140
 before God

00:35:35.140 --> 00:35:35.660
 on His

00:35:35.660 --> 00:35:36.380
 great day.

00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:37.160
 God

00:35:37.160 --> 00:35:38.260
 is undoing

00:35:38.260 --> 00:35:38.840
 the old

00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:39.320
 heavens and

00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:39.740
 the earth

00:35:39.740 --> 00:35:40.539
 and making

00:35:40.539 --> 00:35:41.400
 way for

00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:41.860
 the new

00:35:41.860 --> 00:35:42.460
 heavens and

00:35:42.460 --> 00:35:42.800
 the earth.

00:35:43.220 --> 00:35:43.420
 And in

00:35:43.420 --> 00:35:44.140
 verse 21,

00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:45.500
 hailstones,

00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:46.619
 seventh plague

00:35:46.619 --> 00:35:47.140
 of Egypt,

00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:47.660
 Exodus

00:35:47.660 --> 00:35:48.539
 chapter 9.

00:35:48.539 --> 00:35:50.000
 the hundred

00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:50.460
 pound

00:35:50.460 --> 00:35:51.199
 hailstones

00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:52.019
 falling down

00:35:52.019 --> 00:35:52.519
 and crushing

00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:52.980
 people.

00:35:52.980 --> 00:35:53.860
 Not just

00:35:53.860 --> 00:35:54.179
 crushing

00:35:54.179 --> 00:35:54.659
 people,

00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:55.340
 crushing

00:35:55.340 --> 00:35:55.900
 anything.

00:35:58.599 --> 00:35:59.340
 That you

00:35:59.340 --> 00:35:59.980
 may know

00:35:59.980 --> 00:36:02.599
 that there's

00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:03.019
 none like

00:36:03.019 --> 00:36:03.739
 me in

00:36:03.739 --> 00:36:04.159
 all the

00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:04.480
 earth.

00:36:05.460 --> 00:36:06.320
 And the

00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:06.779
 impression

00:36:06.779 --> 00:36:07.239
 you get

00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:09.400
 here is

00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:10.619
 shocking.

00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:13.420
 The response

00:36:13.420 --> 00:36:14.059
 is like,

00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:14.639
 am I reading

00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:15.079
 that right?

00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:18.119
 these

00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:18.539
 hundred

00:36:18.539 --> 00:36:18.840
 pound

00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:19.319
 hailstones

00:36:19.319 --> 00:36:19.840
 are falling

00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:20.579
 in this

00:36:20.579 --> 00:36:21.000
 complete

00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:21.500
 geologic

00:36:21.500 --> 00:36:22.279
 devastation

00:36:22.279 --> 00:36:23.219
 and they

00:36:23.219 --> 00:36:24.099
 cursed God

00:36:24.099 --> 00:36:24.460
 for the

00:36:24.460 --> 00:36:24.900
 plague of

00:36:24.900 --> 00:36:25.539
 hail because

00:36:25.539 --> 00:36:26.000
 the plague

00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:26.380
 was so

00:36:26.380 --> 00:36:26.719
 severe.

00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:29.039
 It's

00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:29.639
 like this.

00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:31.179
 You're

00:36:31.179 --> 00:36:31.539
 watching

00:36:31.539 --> 00:36:32.299
 hail fall

00:36:32.299 --> 00:36:32.980
 and those

00:36:32.980 --> 00:36:33.360
 on the

00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:33.779
 earth who

00:36:33.779 --> 00:36:34.380
 oppose God

00:36:34.380 --> 00:36:34.840
 are giving

00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:35.299
 God the

00:36:35.299 --> 00:36:35.659
 finger.

00:36:41.500 --> 00:36:42.039
 They're

00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:42.699
 unrepentant

00:36:42.699 --> 00:36:43.039
 to the

00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:43.319
 end.

00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:49.119
 it's

00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:49.460
 done.

00:36:51.980 --> 00:36:52.539
 It's

00:36:52.539 --> 00:36:52.819
 done.

00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:57.519
 In

00:36:57.519 --> 00:36:58.159
 15.1

00:36:58.159 --> 00:36:58.699
 we read

00:36:58.699 --> 00:37:04.319
 with these

00:37:04.319 --> 00:37:04.759
 plagues

00:37:04.759 --> 00:37:05.059
 which are

00:37:05.059 --> 00:37:05.659
 the last

00:37:05.659 --> 00:37:06.480
 for with

00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:07.000
 them the

00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:07.480
 wrath of

00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:07.920
 God is

00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:08.360
 finished.

00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:10.219
 Verse 17

00:37:10.219 --> 00:37:11.299
 it's

00:37:11.299 --> 00:37:11.599
 done.

00:37:12.759 --> 00:37:13.319
 It's

00:37:13.319 --> 00:37:13.559
 done.

00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:16.059
 God has

00:37:16.059 --> 00:37:16.480
 poured out

00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:16.599
 his

00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:17.039
 justice.

00:37:17.500 --> 00:37:17.619
 He's

00:37:17.619 --> 00:37:17.960
 poured out

00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:18.119
 his

00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:18.440
 wrath.

00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:22.279
 Okay we've

00:37:22.279 --> 00:37:22.699
 walked through

00:37:22.699 --> 00:37:23.440
 these seven

00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:23.719
 bowls.

00:37:23.860 --> 00:37:24.920
 Let me just

00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:26.099
 kind of bring

00:37:26.099 --> 00:37:26.539
 them to a

00:37:26.539 --> 00:37:26.840
 summary.

00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:27.239
 The first

00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:27.679
 thing that you

00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:28.079
 need to know

00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:29.239
 about this

00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:29.940
 wrath you've

00:37:29.940 --> 00:37:30.819
 already sensed

00:37:30.819 --> 00:37:30.960
 it.

00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:31.199
 It's

00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:32.199
 incredibly

00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:32.819
 fierce.

00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:33.779
 It's

00:37:33.779 --> 00:37:34.219
 terrible.

00:37:34.860 --> 00:37:35.219
 Pain,

00:37:35.539 --> 00:37:35.840
 death,

00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:36.559
 thirst,

00:37:36.860 --> 00:37:37.360
 scorch,

00:37:37.579 --> 00:37:37.900
 gnawing,

00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:38.400
 tongues,

00:37:38.860 --> 00:37:39.219
 slaughter,

00:37:39.539 --> 00:37:39.940
 crushing,

00:37:40.539 --> 00:37:41.319
 mountains moving,

00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:42.299
 islands fleeing.

00:37:43.260 --> 00:37:43.720
 God's

00:37:43.720 --> 00:37:44.700
 unrestrained

00:37:44.700 --> 00:37:45.600
 wrath poured

00:37:45.600 --> 00:37:46.220
 out on

00:37:46.220 --> 00:37:46.960
 earth is

00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:47.580
 awful.

00:37:47.780 --> 00:37:47.960
 It's

00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:48.420
 terrible.

00:37:49.580 --> 00:37:50.200
 But it's

00:37:50.200 --> 00:37:50.820
 not just

00:37:50.820 --> 00:37:51.539
 fierce.

00:37:52.060 --> 00:37:52.440
 It's

00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:52.960
 fair.

00:37:54.620 --> 00:37:55.260
 God's

00:37:55.260 --> 00:37:55.900
 wrath is

00:37:55.900 --> 00:37:56.460
 fair.

00:37:58.660 --> 00:37:59.080
 In verse

00:37:59.080 --> 00:37:59.680
 six do you

00:37:59.680 --> 00:38:00.140
 remember what

00:38:00.140 --> 00:38:00.620
 the angel

00:38:00.620 --> 00:38:01.060
 said?

00:38:01.560 --> 00:38:01.800
 They

00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:02.280
 deserved

00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:02.500
 it.

00:38:03.940 --> 00:38:04.560
 They

00:38:04.560 --> 00:38:05.000
 deserve

00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:05.260
 it.

00:38:07.940 --> 00:38:08.720
 Just and

00:38:08.720 --> 00:38:09.039
 true are

00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:09.200
 your

00:38:09.200 --> 00:38:09.560
 judgments.

00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:11.799
 what we

00:38:11.799 --> 00:38:12.599
 see here is

00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:13.500
 unrepentant

00:38:13.500 --> 00:38:14.059
 rebellion.

00:38:14.739 --> 00:38:15.119
 Men and

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:16.000
 women unwilling

00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:16.820
 to give God

00:38:16.820 --> 00:38:17.880
 the glory and

00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:18.779
 they go all

00:38:18.779 --> 00:38:19.360
 the way to

00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:19.980
 their deaths

00:38:19.980 --> 00:38:21.039
 saying no

00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:22.019
 way, no

00:38:22.019 --> 00:38:22.500
 way, no

00:38:22.500 --> 00:38:22.759
 way.

00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:23.539
 Again and

00:38:23.539 --> 00:38:24.659
 again they

00:38:24.659 --> 00:38:25.679
 would not,

00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:26.699
 did not,

00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:28.259
 care not to

00:38:28.259 --> 00:38:29.340
 repent and

00:38:29.340 --> 00:38:30.139
 give glory to

00:38:30.139 --> 00:38:30.420
 God.

00:38:32.099 --> 00:38:32.699
 It's

00:38:32.699 --> 00:38:33.039
 fair.

00:38:34.940 --> 00:38:35.699
 There's no

00:38:35.699 --> 00:38:36.179
 one innocent,

00:38:36.900 --> 00:38:37.299
 no one

00:38:37.299 --> 00:38:39.340
 ignorant on

00:38:39.340 --> 00:38:39.760
 that day.

00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:41.800
 Three, not

00:38:41.800 --> 00:38:42.280
 only is it

00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:43.460
 fair, it

00:38:43.460 --> 00:38:44.320
 is full.

00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:46.059
 Ultimate in

00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:46.360
 scope.

00:38:46.780 --> 00:38:47.160
 On that

00:38:47.160 --> 00:38:47.620
 day if

00:38:47.620 --> 00:38:48.039
 you're outside

00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:48.620
 of Christ

00:38:48.620 --> 00:38:49.340
 you will

00:38:49.340 --> 00:38:49.900
 not escape

00:38:49.900 --> 00:38:50.519
 this wrath.

00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:51.360
 In the

00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:52.039
 first bowl

00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:52.860
 all those

00:38:52.860 --> 00:38:53.420
 who bear

00:38:53.420 --> 00:38:53.760
 the mark

00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:53.980
 of the

00:38:53.980 --> 00:38:54.640
 beast are

00:38:54.640 --> 00:38:55.039
 given

00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:55.820
 sores.

00:38:55.980 --> 00:38:56.240
 In the

00:38:56.240 --> 00:38:56.780
 second bowl

00:38:56.780 --> 00:38:57.519
 all living

00:38:57.519 --> 00:38:58.620
 creatures die.

00:38:59.039 --> 00:38:59.780
 Third bowl

00:38:59.780 --> 00:39:01.480
 all fresh

00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:02.180
 waters turn

00:39:02.180 --> 00:39:02.579
 to blood.

00:39:03.019 --> 00:39:03.740
 Fourth bowl

00:39:03.740 --> 00:39:04.600
 all are

00:39:04.600 --> 00:39:05.240
 scorched by

00:39:05.240 --> 00:39:05.820
 the sun.

00:39:06.260 --> 00:39:06.920
 Fifth bowl

00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:08.180
 all plunged

00:39:08.179 --> 00:39:09.159
 into darkness.

00:39:09.859 --> 00:39:10.480
 Sixth bowl

00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:11.419
 all the

00:39:11.419 --> 00:39:12.219
 kings are

00:39:12.219 --> 00:39:13.139
 slaughtered

00:39:13.139 --> 00:39:13.940
 at Armageddon.

00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:14.559
 Seventh

00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:16.019
 bowl all

00:39:16.019 --> 00:39:16.980
 of creation

00:39:16.980 --> 00:39:18.259
 wiped clean.

00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:19.460
 Every island,

00:39:19.879 --> 00:39:20.539
 every mountain

00:39:20.539 --> 00:39:21.539
 leveled.

00:39:21.839 --> 00:39:22.159
 All are

00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:23.039
 crushed.

00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:24.980
 No escape.

00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:26.919
 Complete.

00:39:28.299 --> 00:39:28.599
 Full.

00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:28.659
 Full.

00:39:32.879 --> 00:39:33.500
 Do you

00:39:33.500 --> 00:39:34.039
 remember back

00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:35.000
 in Revelation

00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:35.919
 6 when

00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:36.880
 we have

00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:37.360
 this picture

00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:37.840
 of God's

00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:38.300
 wrath being

00:39:38.300 --> 00:39:38.700
 poured out

00:39:38.700 --> 00:39:39.380
 in 614

00:39:39.380 --> 00:39:42.240
 and those

00:39:42.240 --> 00:39:43.400
 unrepentant

00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:44.019
 on the earth

00:39:44.019 --> 00:39:44.820
 they call

00:39:44.820 --> 00:39:45.720
 out who's

00:39:45.720 --> 00:39:46.159
 able to

00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:46.840
 stand on

00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:47.340
 that day?

00:39:49.860 --> 00:39:50.639
 Only those

00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:51.019
 who belong

00:39:51.019 --> 00:39:51.340
 to the

00:39:51.340 --> 00:39:51.559
 lamb.

00:39:54.200 --> 00:39:54.860
 We will

00:39:54.860 --> 00:39:55.559
 find safe

00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:56.119
 haven with

00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:56.519
 our God

00:39:56.519 --> 00:39:56.840
 on that

00:39:56.840 --> 00:39:57.119
 day.

00:39:59.240 --> 00:39:59.940
 Because we

00:39:59.940 --> 00:40:00.280
 have been

00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:00.680
 delivered.

00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:02.720
 It's full

00:40:02.720 --> 00:40:03.860
 and it's

00:40:03.860 --> 00:40:04.260
 final.

00:40:04.260 --> 00:40:05.320
 this is the

00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:06.080
 last of a

00:40:06.080 --> 00:40:06.560
 sequence.

00:40:07.100 --> 00:40:07.500
 The seals

00:40:07.500 --> 00:40:07.880
 were poured

00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:08.520
 out on a

00:40:08.520 --> 00:40:09.600
 quarter of

00:40:09.600 --> 00:40:10.020
 the earth

00:40:10.020 --> 00:40:10.560
 incomplete.

00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:11.500
 The trumpet

00:40:11.500 --> 00:40:13.220
 judgments

00:40:13.220 --> 00:40:13.740
 poured out on

00:40:13.740 --> 00:40:14.500
 a third of

00:40:14.500 --> 00:40:14.940
 the earth

00:40:14.940 --> 00:40:15.520
 incomplete.

00:40:15.940 --> 00:40:16.420
 The bowl

00:40:16.420 --> 00:40:17.020
 judgments are

00:40:17.020 --> 00:40:17.620
 poured out on

00:40:17.620 --> 00:40:18.400
 all the earth.

00:40:18.540 --> 00:40:19.220
 It's complete.

00:40:19.460 --> 00:40:20.120
 It's just.

00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:21.080
 Think number

00:40:21.080 --> 00:40:21.580
 seven.

00:40:25.640 --> 00:40:26.000
 And with

00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:26.700
 these last

00:40:26.700 --> 00:40:27.460
 plagues the

00:40:27.460 --> 00:40:28.200
 wrath of God

00:40:28.200 --> 00:40:28.820
 is finished.

00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:31.060
 It's done.

00:40:31.059 --> 00:40:33.279
 no more

00:40:33.279 --> 00:40:33.920
 wrath to be

00:40:33.920 --> 00:40:34.400
 poured out

00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:34.799
 on earth.

00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:37.079
 It's done.

00:40:40.579 --> 00:40:41.179
 Revelation

00:40:41.179 --> 00:40:43.519
 16 is a

00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:44.579
 picture God

00:40:44.579 --> 00:40:45.460
 gives us to

00:40:45.460 --> 00:40:46.119
 see what will

00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:46.900
 happen when he

00:40:46.900 --> 00:40:47.739
 pours out his

00:40:47.739 --> 00:40:49.480
 full and final

00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:50.440
 wrath that is

00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:51.719
 fierce and

00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:53.380
 fair on all

00:40:53.380 --> 00:40:54.219
 the earth.

00:40:55.719 --> 00:40:56.460
 Why is he

00:40:56.460 --> 00:40:57.099
 doing this?

00:40:58.099 --> 00:40:59.159
 So that you

00:40:59.159 --> 00:40:59.739
 may know

00:40:59.739 --> 00:41:02.259
 that there is

00:41:02.259 --> 00:41:03.399
 none like God

00:41:03.399 --> 00:41:03.899
 in all the

00:41:03.899 --> 00:41:04.239
 earth.

00:41:05.379 --> 00:41:05.939
 That you

00:41:05.939 --> 00:41:06.519
 know that.

00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:09.319
 So how do

00:41:09.319 --> 00:41:09.939
 you respond to

00:41:09.939 --> 00:41:10.239
 this?

00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:12.299
 Well in the

00:41:12.299 --> 00:41:12.939
 text we see

00:41:12.939 --> 00:41:13.679
 three responses.

00:41:14.500 --> 00:41:15.159
 We see people

00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:16.059
 rejoicing in

00:41:16.059 --> 00:41:16.899
 God's wrath

00:41:16.899 --> 00:41:18.019
 not fearing

00:41:18.019 --> 00:41:18.879
 God's wrath

00:41:18.879 --> 00:41:19.599
 and that's

00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:20.339
 designed to

00:41:20.339 --> 00:41:21.079
 encourage

00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:22.500
 suffering saints

00:41:22.500 --> 00:41:23.739
 to press on

00:41:23.739 --> 00:41:24.699
 justice is

00:41:24.699 --> 00:41:25.019
 coming.

00:41:25.959 --> 00:41:26.379
 And then we

00:41:26.379 --> 00:41:27.319
 see people who

00:41:27.319 --> 00:41:28.739
 reject God in

00:41:28.739 --> 00:41:30.339
 experience God's

00:41:30.339 --> 00:41:30.699
 wrath.

00:41:31.059 --> 00:41:31.500
 They are the

00:41:31.500 --> 00:41:32.979
 unrepentant to

00:41:32.979 --> 00:41:33.599
 the end.

00:41:33.939 --> 00:41:34.399
 And so this

00:41:34.399 --> 00:41:35.199
 serves as a

00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:35.519
 warning.

00:41:35.939 --> 00:41:36.639
 If you're not a

00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:37.259
 follower of

00:41:37.259 --> 00:41:38.959
 Jesus be warned

00:41:38.959 --> 00:41:39.939
 today's the day

00:41:39.939 --> 00:41:40.599
 to repent.

00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:41.919
 You have time

00:41:41.919 --> 00:41:42.719
 to repent.

00:41:45.099 --> 00:41:45.859
 Call on the

00:41:45.859 --> 00:41:47.119
 name of the

00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:48.019
 Lord Jesus Christ

00:41:48.019 --> 00:41:48.959
 and be saved.

00:41:49.579 --> 00:41:51.579
 Today act on

00:41:51.579 --> 00:41:51.739
 it.

00:41:53.659 --> 00:41:54.059
 A third

00:41:54.059 --> 00:41:55.439
 response comes

00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:56.380
 in verse 15.

00:41:57.960 --> 00:41:58.440
 Be ready.

00:41:59.700 --> 00:42:00.579
 Be ready at

00:42:00.579 --> 00:42:01.260
 the coming of

00:42:01.260 --> 00:42:01.740
 Christ.

00:42:02.460 --> 00:42:03.039
 It's a call to

00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:03.639
 be vigilant.

00:42:04.440 --> 00:42:05.500
 It's in the

00:42:05.500 --> 00:42:06.079
 midst of the

00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:07.099
 spiritual conflict

00:42:07.099 --> 00:42:07.720
 of cosmic

00:42:07.720 --> 00:42:08.300
 proportions.

00:42:08.940 --> 00:42:09.960
 We are to be

00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:10.820
 awake.

00:42:11.099 --> 00:42:11.880
 It's a wake

00:42:11.880 --> 00:42:12.400
 up call.

00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:13.079
 Don't be

00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:13.940
 lulled to

00:42:13.940 --> 00:42:15.740
 sleep by the

00:42:15.740 --> 00:42:16.420
 false prophet

00:42:16.420 --> 00:42:16.840
 or beast.

00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:18.840
 Be vigilant.

00:42:20.179 --> 00:42:21.000
 But I told you

00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:21.440
 at the beginning

00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:21.900
 of the sermon

00:42:21.900 --> 00:42:22.639
 I want to apply

00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:24.199
 this to Palm

00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:24.619
 Sunday.

00:42:26.119 --> 00:42:26.940
 How does that

00:42:26.940 --> 00:42:27.299
 work?

00:42:29.179 --> 00:42:29.500
 Well remember

00:42:29.500 --> 00:42:30.079
 what I asked

00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:30.400
 you at the

00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:30.819
 beginning of

00:42:30.819 --> 00:42:31.199
 the sermon?

00:42:32.319 --> 00:42:33.039
 When Jesus

00:42:33.039 --> 00:42:33.819
 entered Jerusalem

00:42:33.819 --> 00:42:34.440
 what was he

00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:34.759
 thinking?

00:42:34.940 --> 00:42:35.460
 Is it possible

00:42:35.460 --> 00:42:35.879
 that he was

00:42:35.879 --> 00:42:36.440
 thinking about

00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:36.779
 you?

00:42:37.699 --> 00:42:38.339
 And if he was

00:42:38.339 --> 00:42:38.859
 thinking about

00:42:38.859 --> 00:42:39.539
 you why was

00:42:39.539 --> 00:42:39.879
 he thinking

00:42:39.879 --> 00:42:40.440
 about you?

00:42:42.779 --> 00:42:43.400
 Well when

00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:44.819
 Jesus rode that

00:42:44.819 --> 00:42:45.539
 donkey into

00:42:45.539 --> 00:42:47.500
 Jerusalem he

00:42:47.500 --> 00:42:48.279
 went into

00:42:48.279 --> 00:42:49.679
 Jerusalem resolved

00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:51.659
 to deliver you

00:42:51.659 --> 00:42:53.099
 from the wrath

00:42:53.099 --> 00:42:53.799
 to come.

00:42:54.899 --> 00:42:55.779
 He knew

00:42:55.779 --> 00:42:57.139
 full well what

00:42:57.139 --> 00:42:57.599
 was going to

00:42:57.599 --> 00:42:58.279
 happen to him

00:42:58.279 --> 00:42:59.199
 in five days

00:42:59.199 --> 00:42:59.539
 time.

00:43:02.500 --> 00:43:03.379
 He had an

00:43:03.379 --> 00:43:05.799
 appointment on

00:43:05.799 --> 00:43:06.779
 a hill outside

00:43:06.779 --> 00:43:07.399
 of Jerusalem

00:43:07.399 --> 00:43:08.559
 called Calvary

00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:11.119
 in which God's

00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:11.779
 wrath would be

00:43:11.779 --> 00:43:12.480
 poured out on

00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:12.739
 him.

00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:14.559
 Do you remember

00:43:14.559 --> 00:43:15.259
 Gethsemane?

00:43:16.539 --> 00:43:17.579
 If possible

00:43:17.579 --> 00:43:18.359
 he's praying to

00:43:18.359 --> 00:43:19.000
 his father if

00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:20.879
 possible let this

00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:23.000
 cup pass from

00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:23.420
 me.

00:43:23.820 --> 00:43:24.099
 Nevertheless

00:43:24.099 --> 00:43:25.640
 as not as I

00:43:25.640 --> 00:43:26.340
 will but your

00:43:26.340 --> 00:43:27.440
 will be done.

00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:28.539
 What cup is

00:43:28.539 --> 00:43:28.980
 that?

00:43:30.700 --> 00:43:31.720
 The cup of

00:43:31.720 --> 00:43:32.280
 God's wrath.

00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:35.119
 Fierce,

00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:36.180
 fair,

00:43:36.720 --> 00:43:37.220
 full,

00:43:37.700 --> 00:43:38.300
 and final.

00:43:39.539 --> 00:43:40.280
 Jesus knew it

00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:41.200
 and he knew it

00:43:41.200 --> 00:43:41.800
 going into

00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:42.760
 Jerusalem and

00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:43.740
 he had you in

00:43:43.740 --> 00:43:44.619
 mind as he's

00:43:44.619 --> 00:43:45.640
 entering Jerusalem

00:43:45.640 --> 00:43:47.059
 amidst all the

00:43:47.059 --> 00:43:48.079
 palm branches and

00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:48.599
 cloaks.

00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:49.700
 People singing

00:43:49.699 --> 00:43:51.219
 Hosanna, glory to

00:43:51.219 --> 00:43:51.559
 God in the

00:43:51.559 --> 00:43:52.000
 highest.

00:43:52.279 --> 00:43:52.839
 He's like I'm

00:43:52.839 --> 00:43:53.719
 coming for Mike,

00:43:54.859 --> 00:43:55.980
 coming for you

00:43:55.980 --> 00:43:58.319
 to deliver you,

00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:00.099
 to bear God's

00:44:00.099 --> 00:44:00.579
 wrath on your

00:44:00.579 --> 00:44:00.980
 behalf.

00:44:03.339 --> 00:44:04.259
 God has made a

00:44:04.259 --> 00:44:04.480
 way.

00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:06.899
 God has made a

00:44:06.899 --> 00:44:07.039
 way.

00:44:07.879 --> 00:44:08.939
 The fierce wrath

00:44:08.939 --> 00:44:09.960
 that we see in

00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:11.960
 Revelation 16 was

00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:12.719
 poured out on

00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:15.319
 Jesus, the

00:44:15.319 --> 00:44:15.980
 beloved one of

00:44:15.980 --> 00:44:16.539
 the Father.

00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:20.400
 He knew God's

00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:22.820
 favor, not his

00:44:22.820 --> 00:44:24.599
 wrath, but he

00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:25.740
 endured God's

00:44:25.740 --> 00:44:28.019
 fury for those

00:44:28.019 --> 00:44:29.980
 of us who were

00:44:29.980 --> 00:44:30.500
 rebels.

00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:34.119
 And not just his

00:44:34.119 --> 00:44:35.079
 fierce wrath, his

00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:36.260
 fair wrath.

00:44:36.659 --> 00:44:38.119
 Jesus bore God's

00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:39.719
 wrath but he was

00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:40.360
 innocent.

00:44:42.199 --> 00:44:43.039
 We were the

00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:43.780
 guilty ones.

00:44:43.780 --> 00:44:46.840
 That first good

00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:48.380
 Friday, Jesus bore

00:44:48.380 --> 00:44:49.880
 God's just wrath

00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:51.100
 for sinners.

00:44:52.200 --> 00:44:53.260
 And it was a full

00:44:53.260 --> 00:44:54.800
 wrath unrestrained

00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:57.380
 on Jesus for all

00:44:57.380 --> 00:44:57.980
 who would one day

00:44:57.980 --> 00:44:58.420
 believe.

00:45:01.700 --> 00:45:02.440
 And it was

00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:02.800
 final.

00:45:05.200 --> 00:45:05.580
 Do you remember

00:45:05.580 --> 00:45:06.660
 what Jesus says in

00:45:06.660 --> 00:45:08.100
 John 19, 30?

00:45:08.300 --> 00:45:09.040
 He's been hanging

00:45:09.040 --> 00:45:09.820
 on the cross for

00:45:09.820 --> 00:45:10.340
 hours.

00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:11.580
 He's about to give

00:45:11.580 --> 00:45:12.480
 up his spirit and

00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:13.240
 the last thing he

00:45:13.240 --> 00:45:14.119
 says according to

00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:17.380
 John is, it's

00:45:17.380 --> 00:45:17.800
 finished.

00:45:19.139 --> 00:45:20.099
 It's done.

00:45:21.659 --> 00:45:23.639
 Wrath of God

00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:25.800
 satisfied for all

00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:26.500
 who would put their

00:45:26.500 --> 00:45:27.179
 faith in me.

00:45:28.699 --> 00:45:29.740
 God has made a

00:45:29.740 --> 00:45:31.539
 way for you to

00:45:31.539 --> 00:45:32.820
 escape the wrath

00:45:32.820 --> 00:45:33.320
 to come.

00:45:33.639 --> 00:45:34.440
 That's why Jesus

00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:35.199
 was thinking about

00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:35.659
 you when he was

00:45:35.659 --> 00:45:36.420
 entering Jerusalem.

00:45:38.019 --> 00:45:39.340
 Jesus paid it all.

00:45:39.340 --> 00:45:42.160
 all of it.

00:45:43.320 --> 00:45:44.100
 All of it.

00:45:44.300 --> 00:45:44.960
 So that he could

00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:46.000
 say it is finished.

00:45:46.420 --> 00:45:47.360
 So we can say

00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:48.100
 it's done.

00:45:54.780 --> 00:45:55.480
 That's what he was

00:45:55.480 --> 00:45:56.120
 thinking about when

00:45:56.120 --> 00:45:56.900
 he entered Jerusalem

00:45:56.900 --> 00:45:57.880
 with you in mind.

00:45:59.960 --> 00:46:01.260
 To offer you a way

00:46:01.260 --> 00:46:03.019
 of escape that's

00:46:03.019 --> 00:46:03.920
 only through him.

00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:07.000
 that's why if you

00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:07.599
 are a Christian

00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:09.119
 you don't need to

00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:09.980
 fear Revelation

00:46:09.980 --> 00:46:10.559
 16.

00:46:11.180 --> 00:46:12.180
 Jesus already

00:46:12.180 --> 00:46:13.280
 endured God's

00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:14.460
 wrath for you.

00:46:14.860 --> 00:46:15.740
 It's been paid in

00:46:15.740 --> 00:46:15.960
 full.

00:46:18.200 --> 00:46:18.900
 But let me tell you

00:46:18.900 --> 00:46:19.119
 something.

00:46:19.240 --> 00:46:20.740
 When you see the

00:46:20.740 --> 00:46:21.840
 cross through the

00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:23.139
 lens of God's

00:46:23.139 --> 00:46:24.039
 wrath being poured

00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:25.159
 out and it's being

00:46:25.159 --> 00:46:26.519
 met by the love of

00:46:26.519 --> 00:46:27.720
 God in Christ Jesus,

00:46:29.200 --> 00:46:29.780
 do you know what

00:46:29.780 --> 00:46:31.280
 effect that should

00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:31.920
 have on you?

00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:33.880
 hear the

00:46:33.880 --> 00:46:34.500
 declaration.

00:46:36.420 --> 00:46:37.519
 Hear what God

00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:38.139
 is saying.

00:46:38.820 --> 00:46:40.039
 At that moment

00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:41.599
 it is a plague

00:46:41.599 --> 00:46:42.240
 poured out on

00:46:42.240 --> 00:46:43.639
 Jesus and God

00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:45.019
 is saying there's

00:46:45.019 --> 00:46:45.980
 no one like me

00:46:45.980 --> 00:46:46.820
 in all the earth

00:46:46.820 --> 00:46:48.960
 to provide a

00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:49.780
 deliverance and a

00:46:49.780 --> 00:46:50.760
 salvation like that.

00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:53.840
 What a God.

00:46:55.300 --> 00:46:56.440
 What a salvation.

00:46:58.579 --> 00:46:59.539
 What a Savior.

00:46:59.539 --> 00:46:59.680
 What a Savior.

00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:02.400
 Let's pray.

00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:05.059
 God in heaven,

00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:05.960
 thank you so much.

00:47:07.420 --> 00:47:07.840
 We are

00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:10.480
 uncomfortable

00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:11.700
 praising you for

00:47:11.700 --> 00:47:12.599
 your just wrath.

00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:15.780
 But when we see it

00:47:15.780 --> 00:47:16.360
 in light of the

00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:17.400
 cross, we are so

00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:19.539
 grateful that you

00:47:19.539 --> 00:47:20.240
 would deliver the

00:47:20.240 --> 00:47:21.220
 likes of us who

00:47:21.220 --> 00:47:22.519
 were worthy of

00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:24.400
 death and of

00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:25.119
 punishment.

00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:28.039
 that you would

00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:29.259
 love us so much

00:47:29.259 --> 00:47:31.799
 to deliver us from

00:47:31.799 --> 00:47:32.739
 the wrath of God

00:47:32.739 --> 00:47:35.440
 to come by taking

00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:36.559
 on that wrath

00:47:36.559 --> 00:47:37.839
 2,000 years ago.

00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:40.019
 God, we're so

00:47:40.019 --> 00:47:41.920
 grateful that that

00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:43.079
 work that Jesus

00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:44.079
 did on the cross,

00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:45.539
 it is as powerful

00:47:45.539 --> 00:47:46.619
 as ever.

00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:49.759
 God, would you

00:47:49.759 --> 00:47:50.380
 deliver now?

00:47:51.380 --> 00:47:52.279
 Would you comfort

00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:52.640
 now?

00:47:52.640 --> 00:47:54.120
 Would you

00:47:54.120 --> 00:47:56.560
 discomfort now?

00:47:57.320 --> 00:47:58.220
 In the name of

00:47:58.220 --> 00:47:59.740
 Jesus, amen.
