Revelation Chapter 16 Verse 3 continued “And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.” (As explained in “The Keys of Revelation” by Brother Shallieu) The “sea” of Verse 3 is the same as the “earth” of...

Revelation Chapter 16 VERSE 3 “And the second (angel) poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living soul died, [even] the things that were in the sea.” We believe the second angel to have been the Apostle John now in his glorified condition, as he was...

Revelation Chapter 16 Verse 2 continued, “And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.” Question: Would the image have to be vitalized to be...

As was stated in our opening segment on Chapter 16, “it has been suggested that the Volumes (i.e., the “Studies in the Scriptures”, series) have been (and are being) used by the Lord in the destruction of Babylon, with this we are in agreement, this can be scripturally proven, however what...

The First Plague as explained in R498 Revelation Chapter 16 Verse 2 "And the first went forth and poured out his bowl on the LAND; and there came an evil and malignant ULCER on those men having the mark of the BEAST, and on those WORSHIPING HIS IMAGE." These evils, called plagues or bowls of...

“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” (Matt 24:21) The thought here is that a “time” or period of great trouble is to come upon the world. This time of trouble has both a beginning and an end...

“The Seven Last Plagues and the Destruction of Babylon” As we have discussed in our previous study entitled. “The Timing of the Seven Last Plagues”, which please see, there are three typical viewpoints held among the brethren with regards to the pouring out of the Seven Last Plagues, that is as...

(5) PSALM 149 This Psalm is often used in connection with the future view. It does not, however contain much information to place it chronologically except in a way contrary to a future view. The claim is made that Psa 149:7 (highlighted below) is the equivalent of the seven plagues. (Verses...

We return now to our third argument against the future-plague view. (3) A PRACTICAL CONSIDERATION Many (not all) of the holders of the future-plague position believe that the sealed saints will accomplish the administration of the plagues while in the flesh by a proclamation of harvest truths...

We would like here to return to Brother Doran’s earlier argument against the future-plague scenario as it relates to the following text and to whom it is who gains the victory over the beast and the image, viz., “And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then...

As was mention in our opening post there are three different views as to when the plagues take place, the first of these that they took place in the past has already been disproved, the second that they are yet future has a little bit more credibility, however we believe the facts will show that...

(3) Back to WHO POURS THE BOWLS: There is in Chapter 17:1 a VERY IMPORTANT message. In it we see “ONE OF THE ANGELS WHO HAD THE SEVEN VIALS” who comes to TALK WITH JOHN. In Revelation John represents the church in the flesh, this side of the veil. So, it is clear that the angels who pour the...

Where are the plagues poured? Rev 16:1 states in a GENERAL way that they are poured on “the earth” – the establish (Christian) world or society. It will be noted, however that each bowl is poured on a DIFFERENT PART of the earth. The “earth” is divided up into different symbols so that we can...

What are the Plagues? First, let us define some terms. Brethren sometimes are a bit careless or generalizing in the use of terms. With prophecy however it is imperative that we be quite specific for the sake of accuracy. For instance, we speak (with regards to Rev 20) of the binding of Satan...

We continue with our look at some of the horrible events which have taken place in the 20th century. 5. Cambodia’s killing fields (1975–1979) Death toll: around 2 million deaths The Khmer Rouge was a radical communist movement that reined over Cambodia during the years of 1975 through 1979...

The following article entitled: “How Genocide and Human Depravity drove History’s Bloodiest Century” written by Charles Stephen, denotes some of horrific events of the 20th century. “There’s an irony surrounding the 20th century. Believe it or not, it began with a strong sense of hope and...

General Remarks on the Timing of the Plagues Please look carefully at Rev 18:4 “And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.” Several deductions seem either inevitable or likely in its words. It...

Excerpts for this study were taken from a discourse given by Brother David Doran on the plagues (edited). When are they? There are basically three views on the subject. 1) Some believe the plagues are all in the past. We don’t feel comfortable with this view since Rev 15:1 states that these...
