Rev 16:1 | MHM | STEP | The Seven Vials This section describes the actual pouring out of the seven vials, which are God's final judgments against the enemies of the church. Even though everything was prepared before, nothing began until God Himself gave the command from the temple. The angels obey immediately, showing how perfectly God's will is done in heaven. The plagues of the vials are similar to those in Egypt and also recall the seven trumpets, showing that the rise and fall of evil powers both come by God's hand. These judgments affect every part of the antichristian world and show that all creation suffers because of human sin. The fall of these enemies is gradual, but it will be complete and final. v. 1 : John hears a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels to pour out the vials of God's wrath on the earth. This command comes straight from God, answering the prayers of His people and avenging their suffering (Revelation 16:1 ).

The Seven Vials

This section describes the actual pouring out of the seven vials, which are God's final judgments against the enemies of the church. Even though everything was prepared before, nothing began until God Himself gave the command from the temple. The angels obey immediately, showing how perfectly God's will is done in heaven. The plagues of the vials are similar to those in Egypt and also recall the seven trumpets, showing that the rise and fall of evil powers both come by God's hand. These judgments affect every part of the antichristian world and show that all creation suffers because of human sin. The fall of these enemies is gradual, but it will be complete and final.

v. 1: John hears a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels to pour out the vials of God's wrath on the earth. This command comes straight from God, answering the prayers of His people and avenging their suffering (Revelation 16:1 ^a).
