Revelation 16:1
Revelation 16:1: “And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.”
Now we are getting to the end! These judgments are poured out in the second half of the Tribulation. I’ve heard them referred to as the bowl judgments, but the King James Bible uses the word “vial”.
Basically, these judgments consist of God pouring out His wrath on the Earth, as it says right there in verse 1. By this point in history a tremendous number of Christians will have been martyred for their faith. On top of that, Satan has been cast down to Earth and is causing tremendous problems. The antichrist is ruling over the world and is fiercely persecuting all those who will not worship him.
It is very likely that the overwhelming majority of those that inhabit the Earth at this point are people who have taken the Mark of the Beast. Those people are about to face the wrath of an angry God.
