Strongs On/Off
Context
16:14 For they are the spirits of the demons performing signs who go out to the kings of the earth to bring them together for the battle that will take place on the great day of God , the All-Powerful .
16:15 (Look ! I will come like a thief ! Blessed is the one who stays alert and does not lose his clothes so that he will not have to walk around naked and his shameful condition be seen .)
16:16 Now the spirits gathered the kings and their armies to the place that is called Armageddon in Hebrew .
16:17 Finally the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne , saying : “It is done !”
16:18 Then there were flashes of lightning , roaring , and crashes of thunder , and there was a tremendous earthquake – an earthquake unequaled since humanity has been on the earth , so tremendous was that earthquake .
16:19 The great city was split into three parts and the cities of the nations collapsed . So Babylon the great was remembered before God , and was given the cup filled with the wine made of God’s furious wrath .
16:20 Every island fled away and no mountains could be found .
16:21 And gigantic hailstones , weighing about a hundred pounds each , fell from heaven on people , but they blasphemed God because of the plague of hail , since it was so horrendous .
