Context
The Bowls of God’s Wrath
16:1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple declaring to the seven angels : “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls containing God’s wrath .”
16:2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth . Then ugly and painful sores appeared on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image .
16:3 Next, the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea and it turned into blood , like that of a corpse , and every living creature that was in the sea died .
16:4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and the springs of water , and they turned into blood .
