THE GREAT CHASTISEMENT of God’s Justice (Revelation 16-18)

THE GREAT CHASTISEMENT of God’s Justice (Revelation 16-18)
God will intervene. The divine chastisements will serve to thwart the work of the Antichrist and to purify the face of the earth and God’s people, getting the world ready for the New Kingdom and Era of Peace

The Seven Angels will pour out the Seven Bowls on humanity (Revelation 16):

1) Foul and evil sores came upon the men who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image

2) The sea became like the blood of a dead man, and every living thing died that was in the sea

3) The rivers and the fountains of water became blood as punishment for shedding the blood of the martyrs

4) The sun was allowed to scorch men with fire; men were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God

5) The throne of the beast and its kingdom was in darkness; men gnawed their tongues in anguish and cursed the God of heaven

6) The great river Euphrates and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east; the kings of the whole world were assembled by the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet for battle on the great day of God, at the place called Armageddon

7) In the air there were flashes of lightning, loud noises, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake occurs such as had never been since men were on the earth

Modern private revelation (and as we see from the Book of Revelation chapter 16 above) has revealed to us what will occur at this point:

Chastisements will befall humanity, including a great plague
And on the day they desecrate the Eucharist, a Great Chastisement will befall God’s enemies
A great earthquake will shake the world and it will tilt
Leading to the day when fire will fall from the heavens and wipe out a large part of the human race… It will be the greatest divine chastisement since the Flood, destroying 1/3 of the earth
And finally during the Battle of Armageddon, God will strike down the False Prophet and the Antichrist on the last day
Prayers and sacrifices from the Remnant faithful will mitigate much of the Great Chastisement

Then a great voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”

This will lead to the greatest purification that the history of mankind has ever known
