My
Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 16:3
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

The Second Vial: The
Sea to Blood
"And
the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as
the blood of a dead man:
and every living soul died in the sea” Rev. 16:3
and
it became...
Could this not happen literally, as it did under the second trumpet
(Rev. 8:8-9)? The sea here perhaps refers to the Mediterranean around
which is located the kingdom of Antichrist.
Second
angel poured... The Second Vial Judgment. Became as the blood of a
dead man.
This
is reminiscent of the second trumpet (8:8-9), and of the first plague
against Egypt (Exodus 7:20-25). However, this plague will be far more
widespread. The water in the world’s oceans will become thick,
dark, and coagulated, like the blood of a corpse. The death and decay
of billions of sea creatures will only add to the misery of this
judgment.We have already seen that God will cause a third part of the sea to turn to blood during the 2nd trumpet, but this second bowl includes the entire sea. Imagine when all living creatures in the seas die. Think of the unbearable stench and the potential for disease.
the blood of... Is coagulated and rotting. No evaporation for rain would be possible.
This judgment may well interfere with commercial shipping and send whole populations into confusion as people grope for an adequate supply of water, not to mention destroying what is left of the fish industry.
These vials, trumpets, and evil things happening are like the problems that came with the ten plagues on Egypt. In all cases, God brought them on to cause repentance. Just as Pharaoh repented not, these worshippers of the beast repented not. Many large cities have so much pollution today, that the water is bad.
The
Second Bowl (Rev. 16:3)
After
the second trumpet blew (Rev. 8:8-9), “a third of the sea turned
into blood,” killing “a third of the living creatures” and
destroying “a third of the ships” (Rev. 8:8-9). In the second…
bowl, however, every living thing in the sea died (Rev. 16:3). It is
probable that the ocean here did not chemically correspond to human
blood, but that it looked like blood and had the same effect in
killing everything. Just as in the second trumpet, the blood here is
analogous to the first plague in Egypt (Exo. 7:20-25).
At the blowing of the
second trumpet, one-third of the sea will become blood (Rev. 8:8-9),
but here under the second vial all the sea will become blood. This
does not mean that all the oceans will become blood for “the sea,”
which is a definite sea, as mentioned in the Bible many times, is the
reference. It is the Mediterranean, around which is the kingdom of
the Antichrist that is to receive all these plagues. This does not
mean that the sea will become the actual blood of dead men, but “as
the blood of a dead man,” such as came through supernatural power
in the land of Egypt and under the second trumpet in the first part
of the Week. As the waters are changed and corrupted, all the
creatures of the sea will die and the surface of the sea will be
strewn with dead bodies of the finny family.
This will perhaps result
in a pestilential odor that will make it impossible for human life to
be near, and the waters will perhaps become so clogged that ships
will remain immovable, as if icebound. It is impossible to imagine
such foul conditions. One could only expect disease and starvation if
caught out on the sea at that time. Previously, in the second
trumpet, one-third of the ships will have been destroyed, and here
all the ships are likely to be destroyed, for judgment will be over
all and not over one-third of it.
