Rev 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 the things that were in the sea.

Maybe more ecological or bio-terrorist activity in the water systems, or maybe massive oil spills. That seems to be the focal point as of late in the Middle East. The "sea" might also be a geographical clue for Europe and Middle East.

Rev 16:4 And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of the waters; and it became blood.
Maybe while it is something like an Oil spill in the previous one, there is a more bio-hazardous one in this verse due to the drinking of blood.

Rev 16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, who art and who wast, thou Holy One, because thou didst thus judge:
Rev 16:6 for they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and blood hast thou given them to drink: they are worthy.

Rev 16:8 And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given unto it to scorch men with fire.
Rev 16:9 And men were scorched men with great heat: and they blasphemed the name of God who hath the power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory.

Either nuclear blasts or nuclear blasts causing enough localized damage to the ozone layer. Men wondering why God has done this and why he won't stop it.

Rev 16:10 And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
Rev 16:11 and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they repented not of their works.

Whatever judgment this is it seems that the throne of the beast is here in the US and we see now how fragile our standard of living is and how dependant we are on technology.

Rev 16:12 And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river, the river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might by made ready for the kings that come from the sunrising.

Back to the Middle East. What countries are east of the Euphrates? Or is this in preparation for the gathering of the kings to Armeggeddon?

Rev 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 done:
Rev 16:18 and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men upon the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty.

Wondering about a correlation with....Eph 2:2 wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;

With the subsequent political 'earthquakes" and the splitting of the city, this might apply with the collapse of governments...etc..., or yet another air borne germ killer.

The irony of all this is that at first glance and especially when looking at...Rev 16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, who art and who wast, thou Holy One, because thou didst thus judge:
Rev 16:6 for they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and blood hast thou given them to drink: they are worthy. .....one would almost falsely think that God is being malicious or sadistic in these judgments, but if we are correct with all the technological things and terrorism and bio-engineered things and nuclear things... it is merely man in his attempts to be gods and living in convenient luxury that has set up an institution destined to fall with a slight pull of the weakest links.

Your turn.
