My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 16:1

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 16:1

Before Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray, something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions for you.

Revelation 16

The Seven Vials and the Three Unclean Spirits

Rev. 16:1-21

The seven vials and their contents are just as literal as the seals and trumpets and their contents. They will be poured out only upon the kingdom of the beast during the last half of the Week, and will complete the wrath of God upon men for their persecution of Israel. They are not to be confused with any historical event or with the seals and trumpets in any respect. They cannot begin until after the seals and trumpets are finished. They will be the last events of the “things shortly to come to pass” before the second coming of Christ. Just such plagues as these are promised upon Israel's enemies in the last days, Deut. 30:1-10; Isa. 51:23. Four of these plagues in a lesser degree have been poured out upon Egypt. The very language describing them proves that they will be literal and fulfilled in the order in which they are given. This forms the only true basis of understanding.

How long any one of them lasts is not revealed, but judging from the length of those in Egypt, and the seals and the trumpets, most of them are not to long in duration. If they last over the whole last three and one-half years, then smoke will fill the temple in heaven and no man will be able to enter it that long, Rev. 15:8. These plagues are for the purpose of punishing men for their worship of the beast and hardness against God, and those things must become well established before the plagues begin so that men will realize the purpose of them. All in Rev. 13:1-14:13 takes place between the middle of the Week to the time the plagues begin.

The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath

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. Rev 16:1

vials of the... The vials contain the rest of the wrath of God which began in the 6th seal (Rev. 6:12-17) continuing in the 7 trumpets of the first 3 1/2 years of Daniel’s 70th week. These vial judgments happen in the last 3 1/2 years of the week and are completed at the time of the second coming. Such plagues are predicted upon Israel’s enemies in the last days (Deut. 30:1-10; Isa. 51:23). Four similar judgments have been poured out upon Egypt. The very language describing them proves that they are literal plagues, fulfilled in the order in which they are given. How long any one of them lasts is not revealed. They are for the purpose of punishing those who worship the beast and his image and those who take the brands of the beast.

The bowls of divine wrath (Rev. 16:1-21)

Chronologically this chapter is close to the time of the second coming of Christ, and the judgments described fall in rapid succession. Daniel indicated that these closing days of the Tribulation will be a time of world war (Dan. 11:36-45). World events are now pictured by John as rapidly coming to their climax.

The First Bowl (Rev. 16:1-2)

John recorded that he heard a loud voice from the temple instructing the seven angels to pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth. This is undoubtedly the voice of God speaking from His heavenly temple. The adjective translated “loud” (megalēs) is frequently used in this chapter (Rev. 16:17 also refers to the loud voice).
