The book of Revelation is the pulling back of the curtain so that we can see what the future of God's people will be. This revelation is our glorious hope as we look to Jesus in these days of tribulation and know for sure he is coming back to take us home.

Chapter 16 of Revelation presents to us the bowls of wrath, which are God's judgements on rebellious humanity. In this episode we will look at the first six and see how the punishment they bring is justified against people who continually reject God.

From John's writing is is clear that these events take place at the end of human history, with the final battle of Armageddon set in motion for the powers of the unholy trinity against the army of God. But believers in Christ need not fear for the battle will be won by Christ.

These first six bowls of God's wrath are a warning to rebellious humanity that there is still time to repent of sin and know his great salvation. To ignore this means to enter eternal punishment for the rejection of and rebellion against God.
