Righteous Justice Finished

Revelation 16:17-21 

17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. 19 Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. 20 Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.

The seventh bowl of God’s judgement on the world comes from the obedient hand of the seventh angel into the air.  It is not poured out onto the earth itself as the others, but into the air above all and breathed by all.  It touches everything and everyone.  God’s voice thunders that all is finished from His throne; He is enacting justice and final judgement.  This thundering proclamation will be followed by a great earthquake as never seen before, and cities will literally fall to the ground as they reap sin’s wages (Romans 6:23).  The islands sink, mountains are leveled, and enormous hail will fall on men, yet they will persist in blaspheming God, speaking evil of the only righteous One in their sinful rebellion against their Creator and Sovereign Lord.  The plague of hail which will be far worse that on Pharaoh by Moses’ word will not cause people to repent because of their atheistic hatred and denial.  This is why many do not turn to Him now, because their hatred of a God ruling over them keeps them from humbling themselves to confession and turning from sin to Him.  The end will vindicate God’s Grace and mercy by overdue justice poured out.  May all who read this book not continue in sin, but fall before the Judge and Righteous one before there is no turning back!
