II. The Bowl of Preparation (12-16)

The 6th Bowl will pave the way for the battle of Armageddon
as the nations of the world gather to invade the Holy Land. What can we learn about this Bowl of Preparation? Notice:
The Prelude to Invasion (12)—As this vial is poured out the mighty Euphrates River will dry up, paving the way for the advancing armies to invade.
The Euphrates has long been the dividing line between east and west. It is an enormous river, originating in Mt. Ararat in Turkey and flowing south through Iraq, emptying in the Persian Gulf.
By the providential hand of God, the river will dry up allowing the kings of the east to invade the land. If you remember in Rev. 9:16 we encountered an army numbering 200 million.
Many believe this to be modern China. The Bible doesn’t say specifically, but we know that the nations of the east will come against Israel. A battle is brewing and this bowl will help set the stage.
The Presence of Deception (13–14)—Here we find that Satan’s ungodly trio will spew out three unclean spirits,
going out to further deceive the world leaders to unite in battle against Israel.
Antichrist has been on the scene performing apparent miracles and Satan’s evil influence will entice the world to come together and try to do away with the people of God.
The world has been deceived since the creation of man by the subtlety of Satan and during the end times this deception will continue on a much larger scale.
The Promise of Completion (15)—This verse speaks of the second coming of the Lord. Prior to the Tribulation the church was raptured and the Lord’s return in soon at hand.
The world may think that they have gotten the upper hand, but God is in complete control. This may seem tragic for Israel, but this is all in God’s plan.
The armies of the world will gather in confidence under the leadership of Antichrist, feeling invincible in their diabolical plan,
but Jesus will return as He said He would in all of His power. The world may chose to deny it, but the Lord is coming again and it may be much sooner than we think!
The Plan of Devastation (16)—All of the armies of the world will gather in the valley of Megiddo, the place called Armageddon.
It is here that the Lord will defeat the armies of the world. He will actually draw these armies together,
finally crushing their resistance. As the world looks upon, expecting the total annihilation of Israel, God has a different plan.
It may appear that the world has conquered the righteous, driving the Lord from the world He created, but here the Lion of Judah will roar as He defeats the world system that has rejected Him and polluted the earth. The battle will be completely one sided, over as quickly as it began, as the Lord destroys them and their blood runs to the depths of horses’ bridles.

III. The Bowl of Consummation (17–21)

As this 7th bowl is poured out the wrath of God is finalized. This vial will bring completion to the judgment of God.
Man has always rebelled and rejected the Lord. What began in the heart of Cain, flowed on in the desire of Nimrod at the tower of Babel.
This attitude of sin and wickedness has plagued the hearts of men down through the ages of time. God in His mercy has been longsuffering, but here He will fully and finally deal with sinful men and their wickedness. Notice:
A Fulfilling Word (17)—As the vial is poured out in the air, a voice from heaven declares, It is done!
Judgment has reached its consummation; the Lord will step out to return in power.
When Jesus was on the cross, He cried, It is finished!” There He announced His victory. Here, He cries, It is done!” as He announces His verdict.
God has spoken and His verdict has been carried out. Jesus secured what man had lost in sin as He died upon the cross. He is about to return and claim that which He purchased through His sacrifice!
A Final Woe (18–21)—It is here that God will utterly destroy that which man has so desperately held on to throughout history.
Let’s look in on the final moments of judgment
and see what awaits the world system.
A Great Earthquake (18)—We have all seen the devastation and horror that an earthquake can bring.
A sizeable earthquake brings massive destruction and death to those who find themselves in its wake.
The world has never experienced an earthquake of this magnitude.
Can you imagine the lives of men on earth? They have faced the turmoil of the recent plagues, the world is plunged in darkness, and now the earth begins to shake violently under the hand of God! This Bowl brings more.
The Fall of Cities (19a)—The great city is believed to speak of Jerusalem.
During this earthquake Jerusalem will be divided in three parts.
This won’t be confined to Jerusalem, but the major cities of the world will crumble and fall as the final wrath of God is poured out.
For centuries the major metropolitan areas have been the center of man’s devices. It is there that the economic centers hold men’s fortunes.
It is there that the vices of sin are offered liberally without shame. It is in these major cities that men obsess with pride as they consider their accomplishments.
God will strike the very root of man’s vanity and wickedness!
The Landscape is Ravaged (20) Can you imagine the Devastation of this judgment?
Islands will be swallowed up in the vastness of the oceans likely due to the enormous tsunamis caused by the massive earthquake
mountains on earth will crumble and cease to exist the world as we know it will drastically change completely unrecognizable as to what it was before. Imagine the power that our God has. All that power will be released as he judges the men of the earth and the world they have defiled. Hebrews 10:31 it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
The Persecution of Men (21)—As the earth quakes, whole cities crumble and fall, and islands and mountains disappear from sight,
God unleashes a devastating hail storm upon the inhabitants of the earth. These hail stones will weigh a talent each, literally about 100 pounds.
The world will be pulverized by the fury of God. Homes, animals, automobiles, crops, and all that encounter this mighty hailstorm will be destroyed. God in His fury will destroy all that man has prized above Him.

Conclusion

As this tragedy rains down upon them men still refuse to acknowledge God, blaspheming His holy name.
They are near to an eternity of torment and they continue to curse God.
They will go to hell defying the mercies of God and holding on to the one they have served, Satan.
Do you know Christ as your personal Savior? Are you sure that you will avoid the wrath of God? There is still time for you to come To the saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Chris
For those of us who are saved, let’s pray that God will send forth laborers into the harvest to reach those that are lost.
John 3:16 NKJV
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Romans 10:13 NKJV
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
If you’d would like to receive Jesus today, please pray this prayer with all of us:
Lord I believe that Jesus is the son of God, and that He died On the cross for my sins and His resurrection from the dead gives me eternal life. I ask forgiveness of my sins, and I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Amen.

Communion

The Bread - The Bible tells us that the Israelites were to eat only unleavened bread every year during Passover as a commemoration of the Exodus from Egyptian bondage.
In the bible leaven is symbolic of sin. Like leaven that permeates the whole lump of dough, sin will spread in a person, a church, or a nation, eventually overwhelming the people, and bringing them into bondage and eventually to death
The Cup - “This the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you” (Luke 22:20). The old covenant was made with the Israelites through Moses, which required, daily blood sacrifices for sin.
Jesus established a better covenant (Hebrews 7:22) He shed His blood on the cross to take away the sins of the world (John 1:29)
I want to take a few moments to give you the opportunity to ask forgiveness of any sin in your life.
Let us pray over the elements (Cross Exposed) in the name of the father, the son, and the Holy Ghost
Please hold on to your Communion Elements, we will partake together at the in of the Video.

Read first Corinthians 11:23- 26 - (Taking the elements together)
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread;
24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” (take bread)
25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” (Take bread)
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
