The Revelation: Chapter Sixteen © John of AllFaith*

16:1 I heard a loud voice out of the [Merkaba] Temple, saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God on the Earth!"

Now begins the final judgment of the Earth as HaShem sends out His warrior angels with the Bowls of Hiss Righteous Wrath.

HaShem Himself will release these final plagues in the order presented and reasonably rapidly as we approach the final battle with 'shock and awe.' Everyone who has accepted the Mark and embraced Rex Mundi will suffer severely, having committed the unpardonable sin of turning HaShem's gift of life, DNA, into a dark perversion. Homo sapiens life into the death of homo diablos

We will note the similarities between these events and the plagues HaShem released in ancient Egypt through Moshe and Aaron. These correlations make interesting studies as HaShem leads His people into the Theocratic Millennial Kingdom even as He led them to the Promised Land of Eretz Israel with the Exodus so long ago.

The First Bowl of Wrath: Boils (compare Exodus 9:8-12)
16:2 The first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and it became a troublesome and grievous sore on the people who had the Mark of the Beast, and worshiped his image.

These boils will begin erupting on the bodies of the marked shortly after the Middle of the Week (i.e., shortly after the Abomination of Desolation).

As the first angel pours out his bowl, the boils will only affect the Marked of the One Cruler Than Haman. A clear distinction will then exist between HaShem's Children of Light and Dagon's Children of Darkness as the worshipers of Rex Mundi begin to suffer. It will also further enrage them and drive them to genocide the Elect. Remember, celestial and terrestrial battles will rage throughout these final Seven Years until Mashiach ben David and his forces expunge spiritual darkness from the heavenly realms. As the murderous Children of Darkness intensify their attacks, they will merely hasten our Redemption and heap more hot coals onto their own heads (compare Proverbs 25:21-22).

Government officials and vigilantes will be livid with jealousy as they see that the unmarked are exempt from these plagues! This fact will create ever-increasing persecution and more holy martyrs (as Isaiah chapters 52-54 references). Despite protection from these curses, the hardships of the Suffering Servant will continue by the hands of the marked and general horrors of the day.
Matthew 10:38, 39: Those who do not take up their stakes (starous) and follow after me are not worthy of me. Those who seek to save their lives will lose them, and those who lose their lives for my sake will find them.

The Second Bowl of Wrath: Sea to Blood (compare Exodus 7:17-18)

16:3 And the second poured out his bowl into the Sea, and it became blood as of a dead man, and every living soul died, even everything that was in the sea.

We previously read that a third of sea life died. Now it all dies! This verse could refer only to the Mediterranean or to all seas collectively. I assume the latter is the meaning. As I said in the previous case, the text may not mean a complete third had died; it could be figurative, but in this case, it appears to be a literal fact. All life in the sea is going to die. Every fish, plankton, all vegetation - the seas will become pits of watery death! Imagine the nightmares this will produce, the stench that will fill the air, the loss of food for millions, the loss of employment and trade, the loss of life, the horrors.

The Third Bowl of Wrath: Rivers to Blood (compare Exodus 7:19-25)
16:4 And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of the waters, and it became blood.
16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous are You, who is and who was, You are the Holy One because You have thus judge:
16:6 because they poured out the blood of the righteous and the prophets, You have given them blood to drink, of this they are worthy.
16:7 And I heard from around the altar, "Yes, O Lord God, Almighty, True and Righteous are Your judgments."

First the Seas and oceans, now the rivers, streams, and lakes! The most severe water shortage to ever hit the entire! This verse is why I mentioned before that I believe the reference to the "sea" becoming blood is to all seas collectively, not just the Medatereaenian.

Note that there will be prophets active during this period. The Chazal say the "School of the Prophets" ended with the men of the Great Assembly, the "lesser prophets" like Ezra and Malachai. Joel, Daniel, and others, not to mention the New Testament authors, insist that prophets will again be alive and ministering during the End of Days. We must be careful when listening to those who claim to have the gift of prophecy today. There are many "Showbottle Spiritualists" and would-be prophets around. Such deluded people will only increase as the times turn harder. They always do. On the other hand, God is revealing new and unlocking old prophecies today in our time. Legitimate divine revelations will also increase as we enter deeper into the Tribulation Period (compare Joel 2:28). However, understand well that this includes prophecies of both Light and Dark.
Notice that this particular plaque, turning the earth's waters to blood, is also going to be unleashed to avenge the blood of the innocents. Many translations use the word "Saints" here for hagios. While that is accurate, it's not inclusive of the meaning of this context here. Because: "...they ekcheo of "poured out" the haimathe "blood" of the hagios "innocent" [through haima which also means "bloodshed"] and the prophets, You have given them haima or blood to drink." Of all the innocent blood shed throughout the earth, none is more innocent nor more righteous than the preborn victims of infanticide. The murder of these children by their multiple millions has become one of the most obvious symptoms of global insanity and the Globalist death cult. Literally or figuratively, the God of Life will force the world to drink the blood of their own slaughtered children (compare Psalm 137:9).
The Fourth Bowl of Wrath: Great Heat
16:8, 9 The fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and he was empowered to scorch men with its fire, and the great heat burned many people, but still, they blasphemed the name of God, Who has the power over these plagues. Still, they didn't repent and give Him glory.

There is no reason to take this as anything other than literal. The world government's scientists will doubtless blame the extreme heat on sun spots, on climate change, on Israel, on President Trump, or who knows what else, but like the angels, Mashiach ben Yosef, the tribulation prophets, the 144,000 Remnant Jews, the Great Multitude will all continue boldly proclaiming that these events are God's Wrath. Whether people accept it or not, everyone will realize the truth of their actions. Everyone will understand that it is HaShem alone who rules and that it is He who is calling forth these plagues through His Mashiach, inviting sinful humanity to repent of their sins.

As this global drought intensifies from the previous plague, the only conceivable way to cool off will be to get into the water, but this will require submerging oneself in the water-blood of the innocents! What a poignant similar! The only slight refuge these murderers of children and martyrs have is bathing in pits of shed blood.

There have always been people of emunah who recognize the Hand of HaShem in action. The world usually ridicules such people, like Lot's sons-in-law ridiculed him and perished (Genesis 19:14). When locusts destroy the crops, people of emunah make teshuvah. Concerned they have displeased God, they go to their prayer closets. During this gruesome period, HaShem will send His holy warriors; everyone will know HaShem holds and grants all powers of life and death.
Deuteronomy 32:39-41: See now that I am He! There is no god besides Me; It is I who put to death and I who give life. I have wounded, and it is I who heal. No one can deliver from the power of My hand.

Some will curse the God of their understanding for these plaques! The Marked will curse HaShem and His people. But those who are wise and still homo sapiens will make teshuvah (repentance). The rest will knowingly reject God's authority and cling all the more fanatically to the robes of Rex Mundi and Dagon! They will proclaim themselves to be gods even as their skin peels and material and spiritual cancers ravage them.

As discussed before in chapter 13, with the acceptance of the Mark of the Beast, the Marked will be fully possessed and entrapped within their bodies by the spirits of the Nephilim! Imagine hearing yourself cursing God, shaking your fist at the heavens, and daring the Almighty to strike you down even though you are utterly terrified, even though you now believe you were wrong! With everything in your being, you want to repent, to beg for God's forgiveness, but it's too late! The more you cry out, the more the dark spirits possessing your body laugh and mock you and secure their absolute control. Your own choice has sealed your fate. Having committed the only unpardonable sin, you have become powerless to correct that choice, as a mother can not undo aborting her child.

The Fifth Bowl of Wrath: Darkness (compare Ex. 10:21)
16:10, 11 And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the Beast; and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they repented not of their works.

In the following comparison to the plagues against Egypt, we may gain some insight. Darkness may be unnerving, but it doesn't seem like such a horrible curse, especially if it shields the burning sun. But consider how HaShem used this one before:
Exodus 10:21 Adonai said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even tangible darkness."

Note this well: Even as the blistering plaque sun burns and torments these people, so will this tangible darkness engulf them with terrors and unimaginable horrors, demonstrating that nothing we hold to permanent is. The Creator controls everything. He can extinguish the sun's light at Will—still, these fools who still could repent remain obstinant and refuse to make teshuva. Consider:
Exodus 10:22, 23 Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was tangible darkness throughout Egypt for three days. They couldn't see one another, and neither did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

Physically tangible, utter and complete darkness! Very few people have ever experienced absolute darkness. One of the few ways to experience the complete absence of light is to visit places like Carlsbad Caverns where, far below the ground, deep in the caverns, tour guides turn off the lights for a few moments. In such controlled environments, the absence of light is unnerving, but this will be more so because this darkness will be tangible, like anti-sunrays that burn with Nephilim-spawned darkness.

Yochanan does not reveal how long this utter darkness will last, whether for three days as the Egyptians experienced or longer, but the Marked will not be able to do anything during the duration! Electric lights and fire torches will not shed light. Nothing they can do will grant them any illumination. Like their once homo sapiens souls, their eyes and their world will become utterly, completely dark as the Void, as Tohu va-Vohu!

As with the boils, which will continue on the bodies of the Marked, it appears those HaShem has sealed will have light! How this might be outwardly manifested is not clear in the text. Natural and artificial lighting may remain available for the Remnant but divinely withheld from the Marked. Imagine huddling in absolute darkness, hearing the Remnant walking around in the light! Lights you can not see! Anointed witnesses standing before you, urging you to make teshuvah while there is still time! In your state of deception, you seek to lash out at them in the darkness, but they easily avoid you and continue pleading with you to come to God. Doubtless, this will be a significant part of the Remnants' job during this period, as Hashem's striking of the people blind at Sodom. The blinded raged against the sighted in Sodom, and many of these poor souls will do the same.

The Sixth Bowl of Wrath: The Euphrates Dried Up (compare Ex. 14:21-27)
16:12 The sixth poured his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; its water dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the east.

We discussed this major event earlier in our study:
Revelation 9:13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar, which is before God, saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels that are bound in the great river Euphrates!"

By this point, the entire world will technically be part of the Global Union; however, China, Russia, Al Ikwan (the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood), and other areas will rebel. Sunni (Saudi-led) and Shia (Iran-led) Islam will likely have united by this point. We see evidence of such talks today being brokered by Xi Jinping.

Rex Mundi's global empire will crash on his loathsome head as three break rank. These four angels, manipulated by Mashiach ben Yosef (or possibly ben David), will inspire the rulers of the People's Republic of China to undertake a full-scale invasion of the Middle East and rebel against the Rex Mundi government. The Chinese military will swarm across the Euphrates River to confront the Novus Ordo Seclorum government at Har Megiddo with its sights on Jerusalem itself.

Likewise, the regional Arab leaders will wait for Rex Mundi to show weakness. When they sense the timing is optimal, they will pounce on his forces, seeking to assert their independence and establish their global Muslim Caliphate. Military forces from various factions will converge in the Levant, all vying to destroy the Novus Ordo Seclorum and establish their individual authority. Exactly as foretold in Ezekiel 38 and 39:
The word of GOD came to me:
O mortal, turn your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him
and say: Thus said the Sovereign GOD: Lo, I am coming to deal with you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal!
I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and lead you out with all your armies, horses, and riders, all clothed in splendor, a vast assembly with bucklers and shields, wielding swords.
Among them shall be Persia, Cush, and Put, everyone with shield and helmet;
Gomer and all its cohorts, Beth-Togarmah [in] the remotest parts of the north and all its cohorts—the many peoples with you.
Be ready, prepare yourselves, you and all the battalions mustered about you, and hold yourself in reserve for them.
After a long time, you shall be summoned; in the distant future, you shall march against the land [of a people] restored from the sword, gathered from the midst of many peoples—against the mountains of Israel, which have long lain desolate—[a people] liberated from the nations, and now dwelling securely.
You shall advance, coming like a storm; you shall be like a cloud covering the earth, you and all your cohorts, and the many peoples with you.
Thus said the Sovereign GOD: On that day, a thought will occur to you, and you will conceive a wicked design.
You will say, "I will invade a land of open towns, I will fall upon a tranquil people living secure, all of them living in unwalled towns and lacking bars and gates,
to take spoil and seize plunder"—to turn your hand against repopulated wastes and a people gathered from among nations, acquiring livestock and possessions, living at the center of the earth [i.e., in Israel].
Sheba, Dedan, and the merchants and all the magnates of Tarshish will say to you, "Have you come to take spoil? Is it to seize plunder that you assembled your hordes—to carry off silver and gold, to make off with livestock and goods, to gather an immense booty?"
Therefore prophesy, O mortal, and say to Gog: Thus said the Sovereign GOD: Surely, on that day, when My people Israel are living secure, you will take note,
and you will come from your home in the farthest north, you and many peoples with you—all of them mounted on horses, a vast horde, a mighty army—
and you will advance upon My people, Israel, like a cloud covering the earth. All this will happen on that distant day: I will bring you to My land, that the nations may know Me when, before their eyes, I manifest My holiness through you, O Gog!
Thus said the Sovereign GOD: Why, you are the one I spoke of in ancient days through My servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them!
On that day when Gog sets foot onto the soil of Israel and defies the Sovereign GOD, my raging anger shall flare up.
For I have decreed in My anger and My blazing wrath: On that day, a terrible earthquake shall befall the land of Israel.
The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that move on the ground, and every human being on earth shall quake before Me. Many mountains [i.e., powers] will be overthrown, cliffs will topple, and every wall will crumble to the ground.
I will then summon the sword against him throughout My mountains—declares the Sovereign GOD—and every man's sword will turn against his kin.
I will punish him with pestilence and with bloodshed, and I will pour torrential rain, hailstones, and sulfurous fire upon him and his hordes and the many peoples with him. Thus will I manifest My greatness and My holiness and make Myself known in the sight of many nations. And they shall know that I am GOD.
39
And you, O mortal, prophesy against Gog and say: Thus said the Sovereign GOD: I am going to deal with you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal!
I will turn you around, drive you on, and take you from the far north and lead you toward the mountains of Israel.
I will strike your bow from your left hand and loosen the arrows from your right hand.
You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your battalions and the peoples who are with you; and I will give you as food to carrion birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field,
as you lie in the open field. For I have spoken—declares the Sovereign GOD.
And I will send a fire against Magog and against those who dwell secure in the coastlands. And they shall know that I am GOD.
I will make My holy Name known among My people Israel, and never again will I let My holy Name be profaned. And the nations shall know that I, GOD, am holy in Israel.
Ah! It has come, it has happened—declares the Sovereign GOD: this is that day that I decreed.
Then, the inhabitants of the cities of Israel will go out and make fires and feed them with their weapons—shields and bucklers, bows and arrows, clubs and spears; they shall use them as fuel for seven years.
They will not gather firewood in the fields or cut any in the forests but will use the weapons as fuel for their fires. They will despoil those who despoiled them and plunder those who plundered them—declares the Sovereign GOD.
On that day, I will assign Gog a burial site in Israel—the Valley of the Travelers, east of the Sea. It shall block the path of travelers. There, Gog and his multitude will be buried. It shall be called the Valley of Gog's Multitude.
The House of Israel shall spend seven months burying them to purify the land;
all the people of the land shall bury them. The day I manifest My glory shall bring renown to them—declares the Sovereign GOD.

There is going to be world governance. It's just a question of who will rule: Will it be Rex Mundi and his Nephilim New World Order, Communist China, Fascist Russia, the Muslim Ummah - or Mashiach ben David? This question will soon be answered for all time at Har Megiddo.

Revelation Chapter nine was foreshadowing this important prophetic event. There, we read the following:
Revelation 9:15 The four angels who had been prepared for that hour, day, month, and year were released so that they might kill one-third of humanity.
9:16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.

The area being discussed

We continue with our text:
16:13 And I saw [coming] out of the mouth of the Dragon, and out of the mouth of the Beast, and out of the mouth of the False Prophet, three unclean spirits, like frogs.
16:14 They are spirits of demons, working signs that go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.

The Euphrates River

These "unclean spirits" are the Nephilim generals. They understand (or have been instructed) that the time for the Battle of Har Megiddo has arrived. The Nephilim have been manipulating Earth's political, economic, military, and religious affairs since the beginning. Now they are drawing them all to the final confrontation, doubtless confident of their coming victory over homo sapien humanity.

Rex Mundi, the Merovingians, and the Bavarian Illuminati know these prophecies well! They also have prophecies of their own, dark prophecies, ancient and perverse, and they understand that certain events must take place before they can consolidate their reign over the earth. They have set their table and are now ready to feast on the flesh and drink the blood of humanity, believing their time has come. The Battle of Har Megiddo is one of these destined events; they believe they are ready for it.

As the People's Republic of China and its allies advance their troops into the Middle East, the forces of the Global Union (directed by Rex Mundi, the "Little Horn" spoken of by Daniel) will do the same with the armies of Europe. Russia, the King of the North, depending on its alliance with China, the King of the East, and Al Ikhwan, the King of the South, will enter the fray believing themselves invincible and bidding their time before turning on their allies for total rule. China intends to overpower the decadent Global Union and take control of the world's oil reserves. The forces of Rex Mundi will be looking to defeat the Chinese rebellion and re-solidify Global Union control over the PRC and the Russian empire. The Muslims will be preparing to conquer everyone for their god and to restore their fallen prophet. The world will be gathered together and focussed on the Middle East for the final conflict.

Mashiach ben Yosef will actively be leading the Jewish underground and preparing for the establishment of the Israeli Theocracy.

Throughout all these events, the United States is MIA. There is no mention of the US in the biblical prophecies and practically none in the Dark Prophecies after the rise of the Son of Perdition. If the Americas exist during the final seven years, it will only be as land holdings of the other powers. I expect China to control everything west of the Rockies and most of western South America, Russia to control the South American East, and various cartels, partly funded by Chinese or Russian money, to control Central America. I expect the Global Union will control everything east of the Mississippi in North America, and the areas between the Mississippi and the Rockies will be ruled by various fiefdoms and gangs as typified in the Mad Max movies.

In any case, biblical prophecy never references the US. It seems safe to assume that the already underway implosion and the coming destruction of the United States will produce the needed chaos for the Global Union to rise. The Nephilim Merovingian masters are orchestrating all of this to genocide first the Jews and secondly the homo sapiens species; thereby, they intend to defeat the Creator.

When discussing the sounding of the Sixth Trumpet it was explained that after the Abomination of Desolation and assassination of Rex Mundi, the armies of China (the "kings of the East") will attempt to fill the power vacuum assumed to have been left by his assassination. Once Rex Mundi rises from the dead (as a Nephilim lord), China and other opposition forces (including Russia and Sunni Islam) will advance toward world destruction like moths to a flame.
Matthew 24:22 If those days are not cut short, no one will survive. But to save the Elect [i.e., the Jews], those days will be shortened.

During this period, China will take control of the territories between it and the Euphrates River, including Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Iran [thus taking Shia Islam out of the running and empowering the Sunni] and Iraq. Mashiach ben Yosef will control part of southern Iran by this point, near the Persian Gulf, most of Iraq, Jordan, Judea, and Samaria north to the Turkish border and the Mediterranean and south to the Sea of Reeds opposite Egypt. Ben Yosef will be in a state of near-constant conflict with China especially. Many Arabs and Persians will abandon Islam and embrace the promise of Mashiach ben Yosef as the identity of the Ten Divorced Houses is revealed. The specific details have yet to be explained; however, at this point in our timeline, the Chinese military will be rolling over these countries and crossing the Euphrates, as the prophets say.

As Yochanan's teacher Yeshua explained and he would have understood:
Mark 13:32 But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the Father.

However, Yeshua also assured his talmidim that if they paid attention, they would recognize the 'watch' of that night:
Luke 12:35 Let your waist be covered and your lamps burning.
12:36 Be like people watching for their master so that when he returns from the marriage feast - when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom their lord finds watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, and make them recline, and will come and serve them.
12:38 They will be fortunate if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
12:39 But know this: If the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be robbed.
12:40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don't expect him."

There is a lot of substantial truth in these few verses.

The idea of being ready to open the door is repeated in Revelation 3:20, where Yeshua says, after the vomiting out of the Laodicean hypocrites, that God will welcome all who open their "doors" to Him. We also have parables about keeping one's "lamp" ready (Matthew 25:1, for example).

We again have the example of being correctly "clothed" when the time for action comes. In context, the meaning is clear and does not talk about literal nudity any more than Adam and Chava's "nudity" was meant literally. That would make no sense in this context. The Greek word himation here refers to any covering. So this verse could just as likely mean, 'Don't forget your coat' as 'Don't be caught naked.' So what are we being told here? Yeshua advises his fellow Jews to keep our 'uniforms' and equipment in order. Even though we have good reason to believe the watch or generation may now be upon us, we still don't know the exact date when Rex Mundi will arise nor when either Mashiach will come. It may not be during this lifetime, but it easily could be. So we must be ever vigilant, all the more as the night draws on. Otherwise, we may fail when the battle is enjoined. When the 'Bridegroom comes,' we do not want him to find us unprepared for the fight. That's the obvious meaning here. It's the same warning as his parable of the Ten Virgins, who were warned to keep their oil lamps ready and their wicks trimmed (Matthew 25:1).
Revelation 7:2, 3 I saw another angel ascend from the east, having the seal of the living God. He cried loudly to the four angels empowered to harm the earth and the sea, saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!"

We must, therefore, maintain that holy covering faithfully as we would a dress uniform or field rifle, as indicated by the word "walk" here as peripateo. This word refers to how one regulates one's life, where one's consciousness is focused - on being ready for anything. Those who fail to properly regulate their lives and keep their eyes on the prize that is before us (I Corinthians 9:24) will reveal their gumnos or nakedness to the enemy. Those who embrace 'the lie' will be like whited sepulchers to use another of Yeshua's examples (Matthew 23:27). Such people will fail in their service to Mashiach and HaShem at this critical time. Such people will be shamed by their unpreparedness as these events unfold.

Recognizing the Watch
Matthew 24:43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

Nighttime is divided into four to six 'watches,' with posted sentries for protection and preparedness. As the "night" drags on, the potential danger increases. Good soldiers, therefore, increase their attentiveness as their charges sleep on. Sentries allowing themselves to drift off during this time face severe punishment or worse. As the night drags on in this parable, the sentries determine their master will not come after all, and their attention falters, thus endangering both the master and those awaiting him. In the same way, people have "always believed" Mashiach would come soon. "If he were coming," they say, "surely he would have arrived by now." But as Yochanan's teacher says, 'Blessed are those who maintain their preparedness even into the final watch of the darkest night. Such servants will be ready when the time comes.

Neither Yeshua, Yochanan, nor their Way sect companions knew when these prophecies would be fulfilled nor when the thief "more cruel Haman," called by many names including Armilus, would come. But like other Jewish prophets, the first-century ones knew he would, and they left us signposts to recognize the Day of the Lord as it dawns.

In every generation, there have been those who believed that theirs was the generation, and our day is no different. This obvious truth does not negate the possibility that this may be it. The Talmud, Midrash, and Zohar clearly state that HaMashiach will appear within 6,000 years from creation. As I update these words, the current Hebrew year from creation is 5784, a mere 216 years shy of that date. Many specific conditions must be in place at the time of his arrival, and for the first time in history, they all are.

In this generation, we have witnessed the rebirth of Israel in 1948. From that key event, everything else has been dropping perfectly into place within a single generation as in none other, as Yeshua said they would in Matthew 24. Does this mean the generation of 1948 will experience the greatest event in human history? Not necessarily, but the "fig trees" are ripe (Matthew 24:32–3).
Revelation 16:16 He [HaShem] gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Har-Megiddo.

We will discuss this final battle in more detail later.

The Seventh Bowl of Wrath: Storms, Earthquakes, Hail, Signs in the Skies (compare Exodus 9:8-9)
16:17 And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air; and there came forth a great voice out of the Temple, from the throne, saying, "It is finished!"

This will be the Voice of GOD! "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." [Therefore] they are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good," as stated in Psalms 14:1. The ability to exercise such foolishness, to deny the existence of one's creator, is necessary during the Olam Haba. Without the yetzer hara to deceive us, we would have no free will. We would be like the angels. This unique ability of homo sapiens is what has always made us "human." This age of foolishness and illusion, the denial of reality, is now ending! The Globalists would end it through DNA manipulation and the perversion of the human soul through the ascendancy of homo diablos, which they call homo deus. The Holy One will end this period by removing our ability to question His existence again. We will ALL hear His Voice, an experience more profound than we likely imagine: Exodus 20:15-25 (excerpt): All the people perceived the thunder and lightning flashes and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking; when they saw it, they trembled and fell back at a distance. Then, to Moshe, they said, "You speak to us, and we will obey; but let not God speak to us, lest we die." Moses told the people, "Do not be afraid; for God has come to test you, and so that the fear of Him may remain with you, so that you may not sin."

Directly hearing the voice of God is terrifying and produces either abject fear or awe. Hebrew uses the same word for either, תִּירָ֒א. During the Exodus, they heard it as part of their preparation to receive the Torah. Yohanan says that the time of preparation now ends. This time, we all hear directly from the Merkaba of HaShem. This pronouncement will end the age of ignorance, not knowing, and reasonable doubt.

Recall that no one will be allowed to enter the Heavenly Merkaba Sanctuary during the pouring out of the Seven Bowls. Now that the divine judgment and punishment have been "finished," the celestial beings return and give glory to HaShem. As these celestial beings enter the Merkaba Temple of Adonai, Yochanan continues his reporting:
16:18 There was lightning, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were homo sapiens upon the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty.

Take this literally as well. Significant earthquakes will rock the entire planet at this point, revealing HaShem's Wrath and righteous decrees against the planet's inhabitants! This time, the events won't be localized at Har Sinai. Desecrated Jerusalem, which today is blasphemously divided into quarters: the Armenian, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim, will be further divided into thirds, presumably meaning that great ruptures will split the great City of Zion, preventing access and departure of various parts of it (and making it more difficult for Rex Mundi to deploy his troops and oppose ben Yosef). While I expect this to happen as written, one can not help but note the apparent irony that the City the Globalists have been working so hard to divide into UN/Globalist sections will be divided by HaShem, as we see in the next verse!
16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and Babylon the Great was remembered in the sight of God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

At first glance, this seems like an odd place to mention Babylon the Great, but it makes complete sense. As we will discuss in the next chapter (and as we touched on in chapter thirteen), Babylon the Great will be more than a global religious organization. It will control the issuance and maintenance of the Mark of the Beast and the transition of homo sapiens into homo diablos. As desecrated Jerusalem and the other economic power bases collapse in these earthquakes, as the Voice of God is heard throughout the Earth condemning to bastardizations of various Replacement Theologies, Babylon the Great will find itself disempowered and cut off as well because once people hear the Word of God directly, they are powerless to debate it.

Global communications will go down, international policing will be interrupted by this global cataclysm, the stock markets won't function, the digital currency banking system will be in tatters, and the City of Rome (including Vatican City) will be in chaos if it still exists at all by this point.

Everything digital will stop working. The entire paper-tigar civilization of the Global Union will collapse like a house of cards.

Then, HaShem will 'remember' or turn His attention to Babylon the Great for punishment. And then -
16:20 Every island fled away, and no more mountains existed.

The scope of these earthquakes is beyond reckoning. Never before in this Age (since the expulsion from the Garden of Eden) have such dreadful earthquakes occurred across the earth. HaShem Himself will destroy everything humanity has prized itself for. Although some non-biblical prophets speak of safe zones during this period, other than Petra, biblical prophets do not. This will not be limited to the physical destruction of Babylon the Great because all have drunk deeply of her poisons! Humanity has so long based everything on these lies that everything must be torn down from the mountains, or the power structures of the ruling elite, to the accepted paradigms and assumptions of the common people.

In addition to the earthquakes -
16:21 Great hailstones, about the weight of a talent, fell from the sky onto the people. People blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, which will be exceedingly severe.

A talent in this context is about 100 US pounds (or 45.3 kilos) of ice falling from the skies like rain. These will be massive hailstones capable of doing extreme damage. The weight and the velocity of their falling make these hailstones truly devastating. Some, like Hal Lindsey, equate them to a coming nuclear holocaust. While this could be the case or may include this, note that the people, having heard the Voice of HaShem directly, curse GOD Himself for these attacks, not their earthly enemies. Again, I take this as written rather than as symbolic. Time will tell.

And the majority of people who experience these things will curse HaShem and blame His Mashiachs, the Two Witnesses, the Remnant of the 144,000 Jewish prophets, and the Great Multitude of Gentiles working with them.

We don't want to miss an important point: Some argue that the world's ills are God's fault. If He would intervene, demonstrate His reality, etc., everything would be fine, and everyone would accept the truth once known. Yochanan decries this belief! Even after the human race directly hears the Voice of HaShem and realizes who He is, a sizable percentage will still rebel against Him. Paul makes the point in Romans 1:21: Although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, so their foolish hearts were darkened."

Next, Yochanan directly turns his attention to Babylon the Great.

REJECT THE MARK OF THE BEAST NO MATTER WHAT!

Here ends Chapter 16.
