My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 16:2

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 16:2

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 First Vial: Boils

“And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image” Rev. 16:2

and there fell... Could not this happen literally, as it did in Egypt (Exo. 9:8-12)? It is only to come upon the people who have the mark of the beast and who worship his image. This proves its limitation to the kingdom of Antichrist inside the old Roman Empire territory.

sore... Greek: helkos, ulcer. Used here; Rev. 16:11; Luke 16:21. What kind of ulcers is not fully described, but they are characterized as "grievous" (Greek: poneros, evil, wicked).

The seven angels, each holding a vial (bowl), containing the judgments that are about to fall on the earth, they will cast forth their bitter judgments. They are obedient to the voice of God when He speaks: These bowls constitute what the Lord Jesus referred to as the "great distress" (Matt. 24:21), or the last 42 months of the Great Tribulation period.

Four of these seven judgments occurred literally in Egypt among the ten plagues. In addition, part of the 6th judgment; that of drying up the Euphrates River and producing frogs, was also literally fulfilled during the history of Israel. Frogs were generated as one of the plagues of Egypt, and both the Red Sea and Jordan River were rolled back so that God's people could walk forth on dry ground.
Therefore, nothing new will be transpiring when God dries up the Euphrates River in order that the kings of the East may march over on dry ground.
If the plagues of Egypt were literal, and they certainly were, why should we not expect these awful judgments likewise to be literal?

In the first bowl judgment people who followed the Antichrist received painful sores. Sores also come with the fifth bowl (Rev. 16:10-11).

This first vial is a repitition of the pleague of boils sent upon the Egyptians, Ex. 9:8-12. It is clear that this pleague falls upon only those people who have the mark of the beast and who worship him. As this is true of this pleague, it is also true of all the others, for the purpose is the same. It is clear that these seven pleagues will be from heaven, directly sent from God, and that they will have a supernatural cause, just like the ones sent upon the land of Egypt. It will be divine judgment, not nature's judgment. We cannot help but recognizing the supernatural in these plagues, for the vials contain the completion of the wrath of God.

When the angel pours out his vial, boils will immediately break out on the followers of the Antichrist. This humiliating and torturing malady will be upon the highest, as well as the lowest. They, no doubt, like Pharoah's magicians, will be unable to maintain an erect posture owing to the unbearable pains in the joints and limbs, and thus will be forced to lick the dust of the earth. Instead of their haunty pleasures and pursuits of evil they will seek incurable remedies for their motifying sores and corruption. This will be a great hindrance in their bowing the knee to worship the Antichrist.

The word "fell" refers to anything suddenly falling and shows that the plague is a sudden one causing men, before they can hardly realize it, to break out with sores and ulcers. The word "sore" is used only here and in Rev. 16:11 and Lk. 16:21. The words "noisome" and "grievous" are from two Greek words meaning "depraved, bad in nature" and "full of labours and pains in working mischief," and are used here to show that the ulcers will be very painful and corrupt. The expression "them which worship his image" literally is "those worshiping his image." Perhaps it means that, while in the act of prostration to the image, the sores will suddenly break out upon them as a sign of God's displeasure of their willful image worship and as punishment for their rejection of plain light concerning the will and worship of the true God, who is to heralded by angels as well as by men during this time.
